Bollywood thriller Woh Kaun Thi? starring Manoj Kumar to be remade

A still from Woh Kaun Thi?

The 1964 Bollywood classic Woh Kaun Thi?, featuring Sadhana and Manoj Kumar, is set to get a remake as its official rights have been acquired by KriArj Entertainment. The psychological thriller, which was directed by Raj Khosla, had remarkable songs composed by Madan Mohan.

Prernaa Arora and Arjun N Kapoor of KriArj Entertainment are set to remake it as a tribute to Manoj Kumar. It will also feature two iconic songs from the original film -- "Naina barse rimjhim" and "Lag ja gale se", both sung by Lata Mangeshkar.

Prernaa said in a statement: "The minute we acquired the remake rights, we thought of the songs. These two songs form the backbone of 'Woh Kaun Thi?'. The film cannot be imagined without those songs.

"Also, it is a classic timeless film with the epitome of beauty Sadhanaji, Lataji and the great actor Manoj Kumarji who are true legends. This is a mark of respect and a tribute to them and the kind of films we had in that era."
