After "Mughal-e-Azam", it's the turn of that other classic "Naya Daur" to go colour. Ravi Chopra is all set to revive the 1957 black and white Dilip Kumar-Vyajanthimala starrer in colour in August.

Chopra has already roped an American company West Wings for the colour correction process of the film, which is underway, reports Bollywood portal Glamsham. The entire process and the subsequent conversion to Dolby sound are estimated to cost Rs.40 million.

He says the film, based on the industrial revolution, will be the first of many films he has selected for revival in colour. "Naya Daur" will have a grand release all over India and abroad, Chopra promises.

After "Naya Daur", will follow the Diwali release of his ambitious project "Babul". "Both the releases are very important for the (B.R.) banner," says Chopra.

Chopra is planning to wrap up the shooting of "Babul" by August. The film will be shot in London and Mumbai. "Babul" tells the story of a father-in-law who succeeds in rehabilitating his daughter-in-law after the death of his son.
