New Delhi: One of the most famous movies of all time, starring Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan, is going to be recreated by the grandson of the film's original producer. N.C. Sippy's grandson Sameer Raj Sippy and producer Vikram Khakhar are working on a remake of Rajesh Khanna's and Amitabh Bachchan's legendary film, ‘Anand’. 

Even though the screenplay is currently being written, the film's creators have not yet selected a director for the project.

Vikram Khakhar, the film's producer, said, “Digging into our own classics, we will find invaluable gems rather than scouting for stories, Internationally or Regionally. Placing Anand in the post Covid era, where we emphasise on the value of life, will enhance the story of Anand.”

Producer Sameer Raj Sippy, who believes that tales like this need to be told to the next generation, is delighted by the news of a remake. He said, “Keeping in mind the sensibilities of the original film and the emotions attached, I felt the current generation needs to be retold the many stories that are so relevant today and specially when there is a great appetite for good content.”

For the unversed, 'Anand' was a hit with audiences and ended up as 1971's third highest earning picture.

The remake is being produced by Sameer Raj Sippy and Vikram Khakhar, but additional information about the movie is being kept under wraps. This new version of a film that is considered to be a cult classic will undoubtedly become a box office smash and win over millions of people.
