Actress Kangana Ranaut recently praised veteran actors Sharmila Tagore and Waheeda Rehman. She compared Sharmila’s role in ‘Gulmohar’ to the “warmth of winter sun,” and urged her fans to “manifest” Waheeda in a “full-fledged role.”
On Instagram, Kangana shared a picture of Sharmila smiling in a still from the film. She wrote, “On a different note, recently saw a lovely film ‘Gulmohar,’ was beyond delighted to see veteran superstar Sharmilaji back on screen…her screen presence, voice modulation, nuances in her performance was like the warmth of winter sun…so beautiful and elegant.”
Helmed by Rahul V Chittella, ‘Gulmohar’ stars Sharmila and Manoj Bajpayee. The film revolves around the multi-generation Batra family who are all set to move out of their 34-year-old family home - Gulmohar- and how this shift in their lives is rediscovery of the bonds that have held them together as a family with secrets and insecurities. The film released on Disney+ Hotstar in March this year.
She also wrote, “Now, hoping to see Waheeda ji in full-fledged role soon...come on everyone let's manifest this (hug face and star face emojis)." Kangana also posted a throwback picture of the actress from one of her films. In the photo, Waheeda smiled as she looked ahead of her. She added the song ‘Piya Tose Naina Laage Re’ from the 1965 movie ‘Guide’ as the background music.
