The film is said to be in scripting stage and the cast and crew including the director is yet to be finalised by the makers. Other details about the film are also under wraps as of now.
One of the greatest hits of its time ‘Anand’ is a 1971 Hindi drama film directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee who produced the film along with N. C. Sippy. With Rajesh Khanna in the lead the film also started Amitabh Bachchan, Sumita Sanyal, Ramesh Deo and Seema Deo among others
Fans of the cult classic original version have raised apprehensions about the remake and are afraid that it will ruin the original film. One also said that it wouldn’t be possible to match the level of a masterpiece like ‘Anand’. On the other hand some others made suggestions for the lead actors for the remake.
No one can match #Anand .The characters were amazing and all actors did such an amazing job. How will you find another Rajesh Khanna , Johnny Walker ,Lalita Pawar ,Ramesh Deo and his wife ?How will anyone make and replace those soulful songs ?Please don't spoil the film .
