Everyone is on a remake spree and the latest one to join the bandwagon is Onir.

In 1977 Satyajit Ray made his first Hindi film ‘Shatranj Ke Khilari’ considered as his most ambitious project having an ensemble cast including Sanjeev Kumar, Amjad Khan, Saeed Jaffrey, Shabana Azmi, Farida Jalal, Farooq Sheikh and others. After ‘Shatranj Ke Khilari’, ‘Sadgati’ in 1981 was Ray’s second only Hindi film. But how many of you know poet and acclaimed filmmaker Gulzar closely missed an opportunity to work with the auteur?

Indian filmmaker Shekhar Kapur is working on the sequel to his 1983 movie Masoom, which featured Naseeruddin Shah and Shabana Azmi in the lead roles. Kapur, who is in the UK arranging the music and scouting locations, plans to call the follow-up Masoom: The Next Generation.

Directed by Subhash Ghai, Ram Lakhan released in 1989. The film starred Raakhee, Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia, Madhuri Dixit and Amrish Puri in lead roles. Paresh Rawal, Anupam Kher, Gulshan Grover, Saeed Jaffrey and Satish Kaushik essayed pivotal parts in the narrative.
