Kareena Kapoor-starrer Crew scripted box office success earlier this year. Now Kareena’s mother-in-law Sharmila Tagore has shared her opinions on the film during a recent conversation on the YouTube channel Dil Se Kapil Sibal, and said that the film was ‘absurd’ in its storyline but went on to praise the camaraderie between the three female leads, including Kareena, Tabu and Kriti Sanon.

Sharmila Tagore gave her thoughts on Kareena Kapoor’s Crew.

What Sharmila said about Crew

During the conversation on the progress of recent films and how they represent women on screen, Sharmila touched upon Crew as an example, and said, “It is absurd, of course, beyond belief but there are three women pulling off this adventure. One is landing a plane, one is breaking a safe… doing all kinds of things together and the camaraderie between the three is excellent because they say a woman is a woman’s worst enemy, not so here.”

Kareena also added that Crew was not only entertaining but a commercial success. She added that the success of the film will definitely create the space for better films and roles for female actors. “Crew has done very well. Three women are doing all kinds of fantastic things and it has done extremely well at the box office. That will encourage a lot of filmmakers to do women-centric films,” she added.

In the Tamil-Hindi movie, Kamal and Shah Rukh played friends Saket Ram and Amjad Ali Khan, respectively.

At the trailer launch of his upcoming movie “Hindustani 2”, the multihyphenate said titles like ‘star’ or ‘superstar’ don’t matter while working on a film.

“When we work together, we are all just people. I don’t see a superstar. He doesn’t see a super director. We are friends. Shah Rukh sahib made that film for free… That cannot be done by a superstar. That can be done only by a fan. A connoisseur of art and a good actor. I’m ever thankful to him. Later on, you give us those titles and we very shyly accept it,” Kamal told reporters here on Tuesday night.

The 69-year-old also spoke about how he wanted screen icon Dilip Kumar to star in the Hindi remake of the 1992 Tamil film “Thevar Magan”.

Directed by Bharathan, “Thevar Magan” was written and produced by Haasan. It starred Sivaji Ganesan and Kamal as a father-son duo.

Unfortunately, Dilip Kumar had decided to retire from cinema by the time he reached out to him.

“I wanted to do it only with Yusuf sahib . When he said I’m not going to do any more films. Then, I sold the rights to somebody because I didn’t want to and I couldn’t think of anybody else. And so that was a dream that didn’t come through,” Kamal recalled.

Eventually, Amrish Puri played the father to Anil Kapoor in “Virasat”, the 1997 Hindi remake of “Thevar Magan”.

Kamal said he used to come to Mumbai to wish the late star on his birthday on December 11.

“I’m a great fan and a student of Yusuf saab. I don’t know how many people know because it was a secret fact. I used to come here whenever I could on December 11 on his birthday and kneel before him to kiss his hand,” he added.

“Hindustani 2: Zero Tolerance” is a sequel to Kamal’s hit 1996 film “Indian”, which featured him in a dual role and also starred Manisha Koirala, Urmila Matondkar and Kasthuri Shankar.

The movie was directed by S. Shankar, who is returning for the sequel, slated to be released on July 12.

Besides Kamal, the sequel stars Kajal Aggarwal, Siddharth, and Rakul Preet Singh in key roles. It is produced by Subaskaran Allirajah’s Lyca Productions and Udhayanidhi Stalin’s Red Giant Movies
