NEW DELHI, July 22: National award winning actress Raveena Tandon, who essayed a variety of roles in movies in her nearly two decade-long Bollywood career, is excited about playing a lawyer for the first time in her forthcoming movie 'Chassni'.
"It's for the first time in 20 years that I'm getting to play a lawyer in a film and I'm excited because this is going to be my comeback film," Raveena told in an interview.
The film is being directed by Revathy Sharma and also stars veteran actress Jaya Bachchan, Ayesha Takia and Urvashi Sharma. "Chaasni" is a remake of the Tamil film "June R" and stresses the importance of adoption of those who are old. It is Sharma's homage to elderly people.
Raveena, who made her Bollywood debut with "Patthar Ke Phool" in 1991, is returning to the arc lights after a four-year hiatus with the movie and says she was "hell nervous" when she gave her first shot for the movie.
"The first day of shooting for 'Chassni' was very encouraging. I gave my first shot and the entire unit started clapping. I felt like - 'This is where I am meant to be'. I delivered one dialogue in one take and Revathy said 'Okay' and my day was made," said the actress who took a sabbatical after tying the knot with Anil Thadani in 2004. — Internet
