Bombay To Goa re-release as tribute to Mehmood

Bollywood’s legendary comedian Mehmood’s “Bombay to Goa” is set to re-release on his 10th death anniversary as a tribute to him. However, the release date is yet to be decided, his brother Anwar Ali said.
Mehmood died in 2004.
“It’s a tribute to Mehmood bhai on his 10th death anniversary. ‘Bombay To Goa’ is an evergreen comedy and everyone can relate to the film so, we thought we must re-release it,” Anwar told IANS.
Released in 1972, S. Ramanathan directed “Bombay to Goa” was an adventure-comedy, which saw Mehmood teaming up with Amitabh Bachchan, Shatrughan Sinha and Aruna Irani in the cast.
“As far as the re-release date is concerned, we are still figuring that out.”
One of the star comedians of the late 1960s and 1970s, Mehmood is known for his rib-tickling performances in “Padosan”, “Love in Tokyo”, “Aankhen”, and “Johar-Mehmood in Goa”. He also directed films like “Kunwara Baap”. (IANS)
