Now after 28 years the film is going to be re-released on October 26, post some technical work on the reels but incidentally the director of the film Kundan Shah has no clue about it.
In fact when HitList called up to congratulate Shah, he was caught unaware and said, "I had no clue but it is amazing that film that we had made with our blood and sweat will be seen again on the big screen."
Vikramjit Roy, general manager of NFDC (the film's producers) says, "Restoration is a very technical job. We had the film's DOP Binod Pradhan involved with the project after which cinematographer A K Bir took over the restoration process. We will be involving Shah as the film is nearing its release. We were in constant touch when we released the DVD of the film."
