“Super Nani” being Rekha’s comeback film is all set to release this Diwali. However, the actress has a lot in mind when it comes to this film. Not only will she portray the role of a grandmother like her stint in “Krrish” but she is coming up with a drastic transformation of this conventional “nani” moving beyond the confines of quintessential Indian grandmothers.
And Amitabh Bachchan too is a part of the plot. Not quite literally though! Apparently the plot of “Super Nani” will see Sharman Joshi, who plays Rekha’s grandson, encourages her to break away from unnecessary norms and his Super Nani soon turns into a commercial model.
Hence, when she gets an offer in an ad commercial, she is asked to ape the mannerisms of legendary superstar Amitabh Bachchan which the actress obliges to do. Talking about it, director Indra Kumar even stated that this commercial which apparently is shot for a prestigious brand in the film is very hilarious.
Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha haven’t been seen sharing screen space since the 80s post the Yash Chopra directorial “Silsila.” Though there were speculations about them acting together in the Anees Bazmee directorial “Welcome Back,” the deal did not get through.
