Back in 1971, the Rajesh Khanna, Tanuja starrer Haathi Mere Saathi enthralled the audience on the big screen, now decades later we hear that Trinity Pictures, a franchise of Eros International will be attempting a modern telling of the story. While the said film will not essentially be a remake of the 1971 film, it is learnt that it will instead be based on similar lines of friendship between a human and an animal. Further we hear that Haathi Mere Saathi will in fact be used only as a reference point and the remake will be a modern-day retelling that will be directed by South filmmaker, Prabhu Solomon. Expected to go on floors later this year, the yet untitled film will feature a fresh story with more action than its predecessor.
