8th July 2023, Mumbai: Sharmila Tagore has received acclaim from Kangana Ranaut, who likened her performance in Gulmohar to the “warmth of winter sun.” She also challenged her fans and followers to “manifest” Waheeda Rehman in a “full-fledged role” on Instagram Stories on Saturday.
Kangana posted an image of Sharmila Tagore grinning on Instagram. It is a Gulmohar still. “On a different note,” she added, “recently saw a lovely film Gulmohar, was beyond delighted to see veteran superstar Sharmilaji back on screen…her screen presence, voice modulation, and nuances in her performance was like the warmth of winter sun…so beautiful and elegant (red heart emoji).”
Sharmila Tagore and Manoj Bajpayee are the stars of the Rahul V. Chittella-directed film Gulmohar. The multigenerational Batra family, who have lived in Gulmohar for 34 years, is the focus of the movie. As they prepare to leave, they find the ties that have kept them as a family, despite their fears and secrets. This year’s March saw the film’s release on Disney+ Hotstar.
On Saturday, she added the following message: “Now, hoping to see Waheeda ji in full-fledged role soon…come on everyone, let’s manifest this (hug face and star face emojis).” Additionally, Kangana shared an old photo of Waheeda Rehman from one of her flicks. Waheeda was smiling in the picture as she peered in front of her. She added the Guide song Piya Tose Naina Laage Re as the background music.
Kangana named the 1957 cult classic Pyaasa as one of her favourite films earlier this year. She shared her list on Twitter and reacted to someone. “My favourite eight films; please watch them if you haven’t already’, said Kangana. 1) Amadeus 2) The Shawshank Redemption 3) American Beauty 4) Pyaasa 5) Amour 6) Seven Year Itch 7) Interstellar 8) The Notebook.” Pyaasa was directed, produced and written by Guru Dutt. Apart from Waheeda, the film also starred Guru Dutt, Mala Sinha, and Johnny Walker.
Kangana received accolades from Waheeda Rehman in 2019 for her role in Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi. She had stated, “I am highly impressed by Kangana’s performance and direction in Manikarnika,” according to news agency PTI. “She appears incredibly stunning and amazing. She makes me very pleased and proud. She is blessed and we wish her well. I requested Kangana see this movie over the phone since I was really interested. I truly enjoyed the movie. She did a great job both directing and acting.”
