New Delhi, April 27 (IANS) Feroz Khan's last wish before he passed away in Bangalore was to finish his dream project - a remake of his 1980 blockbuster film 'Qurbani'.

'His last wish was to remake 'Qurbani' as 'Kurbani'. He was very keen that the film be made again and was working towards it,' Rajkumar Tiwari, Feroz Khan's manager of 25 years, told IANS over phone from Bangalore.

'When he fell ill, he realised that a lot of energy was required to make a film, so he took a break and was adamant that he will make the film. Few songs had already been recorded. This project was his last wish and I am sure someone will take it forward,' he added.

Feroz Khan passed away late Sunday at his farmhouse here after a prolonged battle with cancer. He was 69.

He had announced 'Kurbani' at the 2006 International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) event in Dubai. His son, actor Fardeen Khan, was to reprise his father's role in the new version of the romantic thriller.

Apart from Feroz Khan, the original also starred Vinod Khanna, Zeenat Aman and Amjad Khan in pivotal roles.

The 69-year-old actor, who passed away after a prolonged battle with cancer, had also decided to star in the remake of the film. According to media reports, he had roped in filmmaker Sanjay Gupta to wield the megaphone for the movie. When contacted, Gupta refused to comment on it.

Anand Raj Anand, who has been signed to direct the music for the remake, said: 'We had already recorded three songs for 'Kurbani' but his health was an issue. Right now I don't want to comment anything more on this as I am very sad about hearing of his demise.'

With hit songs like 'Aap jaisa koi' and the title qawwali 'Qurbani qurbani', the music of the original was a chartbuster.
