Fame after death

The producers and distributors have already spoken to a TV channel regarding the satellite rights. This will give a chance to all curious viewers to see who Laila Khan was and how she acted," says director Rakesh Sawant, adding, "The re-release is also a gift to all fans of Kakaji (Rajesh Khanna) as he is in hospital and this was his last movie."
