Ramesh Sippy and Hema Malini to work together after 39 years.
Legendary director, Ramesh Sippy
will be directing once again, a film called Shimla Mirchi starring Hema
Malini and Rajkummar Rao.
Actress opposite Rajkummar Rao is yet to finalise. The film goes on the
floor in August and is a sweet, romantic story with its quirky twists.
Ramesh
Sippy’s cult classic Sholay was released 39 years back
in 1975, when he created the character of Basanti with his favourite
actress Hema Malini. Ramesh Sippy is going to work with Hema malini
after Sholay in Shimla Mirchi and like his other films, the first letter
of his next film is also with the letter "S".
Ramesh Sippy always chose to make diverse films right
through his career in spite of he being a blockbuster director, to begin with
mature love story Andaz, to comedy Seeta aur Geeta, to an action adventure
Sholay, to slick action Shaan to family drama with Shakti to romantic love
story Saagar.
Rajkummar Rao opted out of film to be made on Chetan Bhagat's Revolution 2020 for Ramesh Sippy's upcoming Shimla Mirchi.
