Other older titles could be next.Trimurti Films has released a teaser on its YouTube channel.Mohra opened on July 1, 1994, produced by Gulshan Rai. Shetty plays Vishal Agnihotri, a prisoner freed with help from journalist Roma Singh (Tandon). He is then drawn into the orbit of the powerful Jindal (Naseeruddin Shah).Kumar plays Inspector Amar Saxena, whose investigation into a run of murders exposes a wider conspiracy.The songs did much of the work. Composer Viju Shah’s Tip Tip Barsa Paani and Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast were chartbusters.Rai is realistic about the return.”Old films have been watched a million times and, in reality, the business is negligible. I am just doing this as an exercise.”
