New Delhi:
Actress-model Somy Ali, who loves to post throwbacks on her Instagram profile, added a new one to her collection. He shared a clip from his 1994 film Yaar Gaddar and he revealed that film veteran Rekhan was originally supposed to play the role, which was done by Somy. He captioned the post, “So this setback is personal for many reasons which I won’t share on this forum but the director of the film Mr. Umesh Mehra was one of the most decent men I have ever worked with and of course my great director. The actors who were Mithunda, Saif, Gulshan and others, it was great to be on set.”
One thing that sticks in my mind is that Rekha Ji had to play my role,” Somy Ali wrote. Fangirl Somy added, “I was over the moon when I learned it and ecstatic doesn’t cut it for me. She is a real queen to me and the most beautiful woman in the whole world. This is why my giddiness is completely justified.”
Sharing his experiences of working with Mithun Chakraborty, Saif Ali Khan and Gulshan Grover and Prem Chopra, Somy Ali added, “Mithunda, with whom I worked a lot, was a mentor and always friendly. The strange thing is that all the Actors who played villains that I worked with were the nicest people in real life, be it Prem uncle or Gulshan.
Rekha is best known for her performances in films such as Umrao Jaan (1981), Khubsooras (1980), Ghar, Judaai, Mujhe Insaaf Chahiye, Khoon Bhari Maang, Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi and Silsila. She was also seen in a film directed by R Balki Shamitabhwhich was released in 2015. The actor also featured in a special song in the 2018 film Yamla Pagla Deewana: Phir Se.
