A special screening of ‘Pathaan’ was arranged for superstar Kamal Haasan in Chennai on Wednesday. He watched the Shah Rukh Khan-Deepika Padukone starrer along with yesteryear heroines Jayashree, Shobana and Suhasini Mani Ratnam. Sharing a picture on social media, Jayashree, known for her work in films ‘Vidinja Kalyanam’ and ‘Thirumathi Oru Vegumathi, praised ‘Pathaan’ and Kamal Haasan.
She wrote, ‘I watched Pathaan again! But this time it was by invitation, to a special show hosted for the very actor who brought this genre of action films to Kollywood with the ‘Vikram’ series and the ‘Vishwaroopam’ series of films, delivering a brilliant cast, execution, and entertaining narrative. I even thought Dimple Kapadia might’ve been cast in Pathaan for that reason!’
She added, ‘But enough of this and now to these pictures that reveal what makes today’s Pathan showing exceptional.. the family connection starts with my mother’s older sister Prema and Kamal (sir’s) older sister Nalini being closest of friends in school. With Suhasini and her sis Nandini his nieces, we chatted with him before and during the interval. He remembered my aunt, the humorous nicknames he had for her and fondly recalled many memories of those days. I felt a lot of respect and adulation for him, and so happy to have come full circle. Looking forward to many many more from Kalaimamani Padmashri Padmabhushan Chevalier Dr. Kamalhasan.’
‘Pathaan’, directed by Siddharth Anand, also stars John Abraham. The film has earned Rs 875 crore at the worldwide box office in just 15 days. It is expected to cross Rs 900 crore mark soon.
