Filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, who considers Gulzar his 'guru', is not in favour of remakes as such, but if he had to go down that road, he would love to pick the veteran writer-director's evergreen films Angoor or Ijaazat.

At an event earlier this year, Mehra had mentioned he would "love to remake Gulzar bhai's works with his permission". On being prodded about which of Gulzar's works would he like to remake, Mehra told IANS: "'Angoor' definitely, and 'Ijaazat'. It's closer to me, and I would love to do it."
