Bollywood’s most iconic film Silsila starring Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, and Rekha, is gearing up for re-release in theatres. The film continues to captivate audiences even after four decades. Filmfare has reported that the film will be released on February 7. Well, nothing has been made official till now.
Filmfare took to its Instagram handle and shared the news. It mentioned that the film will be re-released on February 7. Interestingly, the film’s casting had its own story. While Rekha and Jaya Bachchan’s roles in Silsila became iconic, it’s lesser-known that Parveen Babi was initially cast as the leading lady. Ranjeet, who starred in the film, revealed in an interview with ANI that Parveen was originally supposed to play the part, but was replaced due to a controversy. The film eventually went ahead with Rekha and Jaya Bachchan.
In a candid 2006 interview with Filmfare magazine, Rekha spoke about the power of their performances in Silsila, particularly highlighting a deeply emotional dialogue, “Dukh toh is baat ka hai ke maine anjaane mein tumhe dukh pahunchaaya hai” (The sadness lies in the fact that unknowingly, I have hurt you). Rekha praised Amitabh’s craft, describing the way they portrayed love and passion as “real” and heartfelt. “No wonder the world believed that the triangle was for real,” she added, referencing the palpable tension between their characters on screen.
Amitabh Bachchan’s work front includes hosting Kaun Banega Crorepati and starring in the sequel to Kalki 2898 AD. He may also star in a remake of The Intern with Deepika Padukone. Meanwhile, on the work front, Jaya Bachchan was last seen in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. She played Ranveer Singh’s grandmother in the film. She will be next seen in Vikas Bahl’s fun-filled family entertainer titled ‘Dil Ka Darwaaza Khol Na Darling’ with Siddhant Chaturvedi and Wamiqa Gabbi. The makers announced the film today, along with two pictures featuring the lead cast Jaya Bachchan, Siddhant and Wamiqa, as well as the director, and producers of the film. The interesting casting has garnered a lot of attention, and fans are already excited about the film.
