Director J.P. Dutta has decided to auction the clothes of his upcoming flick to help an organization working for the welfare of girl children. The costumes of the film have been designed by Abu Jani, Sandeep Khosla and Anna Singh.

Umrao Jaan' is a musical love story of a courtesan Umrao Jaan based on Mirza Mohammed Haadi Ruswa's novel and said to shot at a huge budget of Rs. 200 million in Jaipur.

In 1981 filmmaker Muzaffar Ali directed the first screen adaptation of the novel. However, Dutta insists that his flick is not remake of yesteryear's ‘Umrao Jaan', but it's his original take on the courtesan's life based on the script that his father O.P. Dutta wrote.

‘There are filmmakers who have made films on Ramayan, Mahabharat, Bible, Shakespear's plays for zillion times, so why can't I'.

This was the remark made by J.P. Dutta on the issue of remake.

Ash also backed her director and said, ‘The perspective is not whether the film has been made before. The perspective is to go and watch the film with a fresh approach'.

Besides Ash and Abhi, the film also features Sunil Shetty, Shabana Azmi, Arshad Warsi and Kulbhushan Kharbanda.
