Dilwale (1994).
The songs are written by award-winning lyricist Sameer. First-timer Sameer Sippy, son of yesteryear filmmaker Raj Sippy (Boxer (1984),

Dostana (2008) and Farhan Akhtar on
Lakshya (2004).
Shabbir Boxwala is also elated that his banner will collaborate with Trimurti Films, one of Bollywood’s most prestigious production houses. He, Ajay Shah (co-producer) and Rajiv Rai, who collaborated earlier on super-duper hits like
Mohra (1994) and Gupt (1997), have plans to remake one of Dev Anand’s memorable thriller
Johny Mera Naam (1970) and also the iconic Amitabh Bachchan-Shashi Kapoor film
Deewaar (1975), both of which were produced by Rajiv’s father, Gulshan Rai under their family banner.
