'Raja Natwarlal' first look: Is Emraan Hashmi reprising Amitabh Bachchan's 'Natwarlal' character?

While the makers havent hinted it to be a remake but Emraan Hashmi's character in the upcoming 'Raja Natwarlal' is similar to what Amitabh Bachchan played in 'Mr Natwarlal'. Hashmi plays a con man and the film also features Pakistani actress Humaima Malick. Directed by Kunal Deshmukh, the film's posters look quite colourful. Now the question is, will Hashmi be reprising Bachchan's role in the film? Is the film a remake of sorts or the similarity in the titles and the characters just a mere co-incidence.
