This week when her daughter Meghna Gulzar’s Sam Bahadur<\/em> opened in theatres, Raakhee Gulzar has decided to return to acting.<\/p>\n Speaking exclusively to Subhash K Jha<\/strong>, Raakheedi<\/em> says, “I am doing another Bengali film after five years. If you remember I had done a Bengali film Mukti<\/em> in 2018. Normally I’d say no to any acting offer, no matter how tempting. But when the director of Mukti<\/em> had told me that he was doing a screen adaptation of Moti Nandy’s classic novel Bijolibalar Mukti<\/em> I agreed to make an exception.”<\/p>\n “It was a very topical subject. It touched on communal and caste issues and also on the rights and privileges of a 70-year-old Brahmin widow.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now, Raakheedi<\/em> returns to Bangla cinema with Amar Boss<\/em>, directed by Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee.<\/p>\n Says the serene actress, “Given a choice, I would rather be away from the public eye comfortably ensconced in my farmhouse. But the co-directors Nandita and Shibo were adamant and I liked the script. We are likely to start shooting in January.”<\/p>\n Should we consider this a new beginning in Raakheedi<\/em>‘s career?<\/p>\n “Nothing like that. I was always a reluctant actress. I still am,” her laughter reverberates in the air.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Feature Presentation: Rajesh Alva\/Rediff.com<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
