"Babumushoi, zindagi badi honi chahiye… lambi nahin." (Babumushoi, life should be memorable, not just long.)
The epic dialogue became a life motto for many. The iconic Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan-starrer stayed with people long after they left the theatres in 1971.
51 years after leaving its mark, film-maker Hrishikesh Mukherjee's classic 'Anand' is returning to invoke memories of the past.
The official classic remake is helmed by Sameer Raj Sippy, who is the grandson of the 1971's original producer NC Sippy, and Vikram Khakhar.
Sippy hasn't finalised the director or the cast of the film as it is still in the scripting stage. The details with regards to the film's development and technical crew are under wraps. It will soon go into production after finalising its cast.
The film will be narrated keeping the new generation in mind.
Regarded as one of the finest films in Hindi cinema, the 1971 cult classic featured Khanna in the titular role of a terminally-ill cancer patient, Anand Sehgal, and the Big B as Dr Bhaskar, fondly called 'Babumoshai' by Khanna's character.
Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter to share the announcement.
In an official statement released, Khakhar of 'Main Aur Charles' fame said that wanted to recreate the invaluable gems from India's classics than scout for stories, internationally.
"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," the producer said on Thursday.
According to Khakhar, 'Anand' will be imagined in the post-Covid era, where the value of life will guide the story. He is confident that the story of 'Anand', originally co-written by Mukherjee, Bimal Dutt, DN Mukherjee and Gulzar, will resonate with people.
The film is hailed for its memorable dialogues by Gulzar, evergreen music by Salil Chowdhary, and reflective lyrics by Gulzar and Yogesh.
All six songs of 'Anand' - 'Zindagi Kaisi Hai Paheli', 'Kahin Door Jab' (male and female version), 'Maine Tere Liye', 'Na Jiya Lage Na' and the poem 'Maut Tu Ek Kavita Hai', narrated by Bachchan - enjoy a great recall value even today.
