“I have worked with Shabana Azmi before,” Dharmendra clears the air

en Bollywood News “I have worked with Shabana Azmi before,” Dharmendra clears the air

There are a multitude of stories, one cannibalized from another, where the iconic Dharmendra is quoted as saying he will “finally” get to work with the 5-time National award winner Shabana Azmi in Karan Johar Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani.

“I have worked with Shabana Azmi before,” Dharmendra clears the air

However the impression that they will work together for the first is erroneous. They have done a film together in the past. “That’s right,” Dharamji clarifies. “We were together in a film called Mardon Wali Baat which was released in 1988. It was directed by that very dear man Brij Sadanah who died a very tragic death along with his family (Brij Sadanah shot his wife and child and then shot himself). He was a gem of a producer-director.”

Recalling more about the experience Dharmendra says, “I was paired with Shabana and Sanju (Dutt) was with Jaya Prada. It was an enjoyable experience. Shabana didn’t at all behave like a National award winning art-film actress. She was fully into the naach ganaa. This was forty years ago. Now look at destiny! We are back together in Karan Johar’s film.”

As for Jaya Bachchan Dharmendra recalls, “She started her career in Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Guddi with me. She played the fan of Dharmendra, the star. Since she was my fan in real life it was easy. A year later after she became a big star we were paired as the romantic lead in a film called, I think, Samadhi. Prakash Mehra’s film. I played a double role .And she was one of my leading ladies. We had a very nice song together in the film Maine Dekha Ek Sapna. ”

Concludes the he-man star who has worked with every major heroine including Suchitra Sen (Mamta) and Jayalalitha (Izaat), “It is good to catch up with old colleagues again. There are so many beautiful memories from the past to share.”
