MUMBAI: The Sajid Khan-directed Himmatwala, featuring Ajay Devgn and Southern actress Tamannaah, will hit the silver screens on 29 March next year, two days after Holi.

Produced by UTV Motion Pictures and Vashu Bhagnani, the film is the official remake of the 1983 blockbuster by the same name that had Jeetendra and Sridevi in the lead. The film itself was a remake of 1981 Telugu film Ooriki Monagadu.

The first look of Himmatwala is already out and the caption of the poster reads "29th March 2013.....The 80s Will Be Back."
