Three of veteran director Shakti Samanta's memorable films - Howrah Bridge, Amar Prem and Barsaat Ki Ek Raat - are all set to get animated, thanks to filmmaker Pritish Nandy.
"This is my homage to one of the most underrated filmmakers of the country. When I met Mr. Samanta, he was so pleased to know his films would reach out to a new generation," Nandy told IANS.
"Howrah Bridge is one of my favourite noire films. The magic of Sachin Dev Burman's music, the chemistry between Ashok Kumar and Madhubala and the seductive charm of Ashok Kumar's baritone - all that I want to capture in animation form," he added.
The film will be produced under his banner Pritish Nandy Communications, which has made films like Jhankaar Beats, Chameli and Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi.
Why these films from Samanta's oeuvre? Why not the other classics like Aradhana, Amanush and Kati Patang?
"I've chosen Howrah Bridge, Amar Prem and Barsaat Ki Ek Raat because they not only represent three phases in Mr. Samanta's career but also three generations of superstars - Ashok Kumar, Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan.
