A source told SpotboyE.com, “The psychological thriller
starring Sadhana and Manoj Kumar is celebrated to this day for its
remarkable songs composed by Madan Mohan. The film will pay tribute to both
Manoj Kumar and Sadhana and who better than the gorgeous Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
to step into the ethereal Sadhana's shoes. Sadhana's screen presence combined

Adds the source, “Aishwarya has given a nod to the
project and the modalities are fast being worked out. She fit the bill
perfectly as not only does she has undeniable screen presence and expressive
eyes but is also immensely talented.”
The remake will also feature two iconic songs from the

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 the mark of respect and attribute to them and the kind of film
we had in that era."
Well, we can’t wait to know who will essay the role of
Manoj Kumar in the remake. As of now, speculations are rife that Shahid Kapoor
may land the role.
