British-Indian actress Goldy Notay who replicate Parveen Babi's role in the English avatar says, “The film takes inspiration from the original. The writer and director — Atul Malhotra — is an aficionado of the film. I play Sonia who is the sister of Amar and ends up with Tony played by Martin Delaney. I've never seen the original but am about to watch it now. From my understanding, it's similar in tone regarding brotherhood.”
While Shabana Azmi who played one of the female leads in Amar Akbar Anthony on learning this fact is thrilled. “Ab yeh din aa gaye jab woh hamari film banaa rahen hain. Waah!” she said.
