Filmmaker Anushree Mehta, who made her directorial debut with the Radhika Apte starrer 바카라 바카라Mrs Undercover바카라, has been roped in to direct a remake of Hrishikesh Mukherjee바카라s 바카라Bawarchi.바카라 The 1972 film starred Rajesh Khanna and Jaya Bachchan in lead roles.

This remake of Hrishikesh Mukherjee바카라s classic will be the first movie out of a three-film collaboration contract that has been signed between Jaadugar Films and Sameer Raj Sippy Productions. Through this collaboration, the two other classic films that will be remade are 바카라Mili바카라 that starred Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, and 바카라Koshish바카라 by Gulzar.

Speaking to News18 Showsha, Anushree Mehta talked about how grateful she feels for getting this opportunity. The director added that she knows that she has taken a big responsibility as she remakes the classic film. She said, 바카라When my business partner Abir Sengupta (Jaadugar Films), Sameer Raj Sippy, and I decided to join hands to produce these three iconic films, we were clear that we would leave no stone unturned in remaking them with utmost love and respect. During our discussion on 바카라Bawarchi바카라, Abir and Sameer were of the opinion that I should be writing and directing the remake.바카라

The director also opened up about the approach she will be taking with the remake. She mentioned that she wants to make the film relatable but also a family entertainer. She continued, 바카라The idea of retelling a film is to adapt it according to the current times and make it more relatable to the world we live in today바카라while keeping the soul and purpose of the original intact. Since 바카라Bawarchi바카라 itself was a remake of a Bengali film, Hrishida in his time recreated it and made it relatable to that era. My attempt is going to be with a similar intention, to retell the classic story of 바카라Bawarchi바카라 in a way that family audiences of all age groups can watch and enjoy the movie together. I바카라m aiming to create a wholesome, unforgettable family experience.바카라

바카라Bawarchi바카라 was directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee. The film has grown to become a cult classic since its release in 1972.
