Ratna Pathak Shah will be seen in a film featuring Amitabh Bachchan. We are talking about ‘Aladin’ where she has a small, but important role to play.
When contacted, the lady in question confirmed her presence in the film, “I play someone who is like a mother figure to Ritesh. Since he is a parentless boy, he is quite a loner and a shy boy. He trusts me though and there is a strong bond between us.”
In the past, Ratna hasn’t done too many films, she confess, “I am quite selective about films and the last one which I did was ‘Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’. Something special has to be there for me to be seen on the big screen. Along with ‘Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’, ‘Aladin’ was the only other film that really made me say ‘yes’”, she says.
One has to agree. After all for an actor who has only done a handful of films Ratna would indeed have found something special in ‘Aladin’.
