Another classic in colour

After Mughal-E-Azam, the Meena Kumari-Raaj Kumar starrer Dil Apna Aur Preet Parayi is getting ready to go colour. The process of adding hues to the Kamal Amrohi film began on Thursday, said Asad Tyrewala, director of Film India Communications and the man behind the project.

"The colourisation process began on March 31, Meena Kumari’s death anniversary," Tyrewala said.

He said the processing would be done at Mumbai’s Cinelab with the help of 40 technicians. Technical support would be provided by the Australian firm Prism Pixel Colourisation Inc.

The rights for the Meena Kumari film were bought by A.H.B. Enterprise, another firm belonging to Tyrewala.

He added that the technical processes would be completed within a few weeks and the new edition would be released soon after.

The project is inspired by the enthusiastic response to the colour version of Mughal-E-Azam that was digitally enhanced and re-released to great commercial success.
