- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,October 11 2008]
It seems Hema Malini's sojourn with historical biopic continues even after 30 years.
Bollywood eternal 'Dream Girl' is being signed by nationally acclaimed director Gulbahar Singh for his dream venture Ek Thi Rani Aisi Bhi. The film is based on the life of Vijayaraje Scindia, queen of Gwalior, who is being played by Hema Malini. The film will be produced by Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia Smriti Trust. This will be Hema Malini's second historical feature film after Kamal Amrohi's Razia Sultan. Hema intends to spend time with the Scindia family in Gwalior to know in details about the queen of Gwalior.
The last time I went to Gwalior with my daughter Ahana for a dance performance but never imagined that I would be playing the role of Rajmata, says Hema.
Visibly excited about the project the actress feels that she needs to read and research on Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia so that she can portray the character perfectly on screen. Hema made a stunning come back in Ravi Chopra's Baghbaan and later got busy with her dance ballet and parliament. Now, Hema is back to reign Bollywood with pivotal role and interesting projects.
The mahurat of the film will be commencing on 14th October 2008. BJP leader Smt. Sushma Swaraj and members of Scindia family are expected to attend the mahurat of Ek Thi Rani Aisi Bhi.
