The remake of Feroz Khan’s 1980 blockbuster Qurbani is reported to be directed by Sanjay Gupta. Feroz Khan had plans of casting his son Fardeen Khan along with Saif Ali Khan in the roles originally played by himself and Vinod Khanna. It has one of Khan’s biggest dreams to remake Qurbani now titled Kurbani. Sources reveal that had Gupta not come forward to take the responsibility, the project would have gone into cold storage. Sanjay Gupta is a die-hard Feroz Khan fan and this remake is his way of paying tribute to the cinema of 1980s that he has always admired. But Khan was so impressed by Gupta’s enthusiasm that he decided to produce the new Kurbani jointly with him. Presently, Fardeen is slated to step into his father’s role. The stars to play the roles of Vinod, Zeenat Aman and Amjad Khan are yet to be decided. Gupta had the choice of casting the sons of Vinod and Amjad, but found the idea too gimmicky, and decided not to play around with his homage to the hit film and its flamboyant maker. Mallika Sherawat may play Zeenat’s role. And a few songs of Qurbani's original music by Kalyanji-Anandji and Biddu, including Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Zindagi Mein Aaye, will be retained.
