Saeed Mirza's 1980 cult film, Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyoon Aata Hai has been remade by Soumitra Ranade starring Nandita Das, Manav Kaul, Saurabh Shukla and Kishor Kadam.

Ranade watched the film, which made a socio-political statement on Mumbai's middle-class, when he was a student, and had been keen to revisit the drama ever since.

"I have put in whatever money I could, besides resorting to crowdfunding. I plan to release it before the year-end," he said. The cast of the original included Naseeruddin Shah, Shabana Azmi and Smita Patil. Writer-director Mirza is slated to attend the screening at the festival.
