While the film is still in the scripting stage, the director has yet to be chosen.

Elated about the remake announcement, Producer Sameer Raj Sippy who feels that stories like these need to be narrated to the new generation, 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 especially when there is a great appetite for good content.”
Produced by Sameer Raj Sippy and Khakhar, the other details about the film are under wraps. The remake of this cult classic movie will definitely turn into a blockbuster impressing millions of viewers.
