The younger generation today is not aware of the classic hit films of those times and remakes are the best way to recreate the magic on screen \'Lakhon Ki Baat\' featuring Sanjeev Kumar and Farooq Shaikh is getting remade by filmmaker Rumi Jaffery. again," Jaffery told PTI. "Audience are also accepting good remake films.

So I don't see much problem remaking this film," he added.

"As of now, we have finalised Paresh Rawal, Anu Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor will play the three mates originally played by Ashok Kumar, A K Hangal and Utpal Dutt" Jaffery said adding the film will go on floors by August. "The basic element in both the films will more or less remain same. But we have slightly tweaked the original story, keeping in mind today's requirements," he said. Earlier, there were reports that actor Rohit Roy, was all set to remake 'Shaukeen' but it seems he has lost out on the battle over the rights issue. Jaffery said he plans to meet Chatterjee, the director of the original two films to seek his blessings.
