Role Call

Although she is an admirer of Kanwar’s old-school style of filmmaking,it was on actor Shatrughan Sinha’s insistence that she agreed to do Sadiyaan. “His son Luv,who debuts in this film,is like a son to me. I have seen him from the day he was born and it is really wonderful to be a part of his first film,” she says with a fond smile.

The actor,known for portraying strong women characters,says that there aren’t too many scripts written for ageing actresses in Bollywood. “I was lucky to have got one such character in Baghban. With Sadiyaan I get to portray another one,” she adds.

Malini is also busy with her home production Tell Me Oh Khuda starring daughter Esha Deol. “The movie also stars yesteryear actors Vinod Khanna,Rishi Kapoor and Dharmendra,” she confirms. And when will we see her and Dharmendra together again? “In my next film,” she says.
