CHANDIGARH | THURSDAY | 21 MARCH 2024 Lights, camera, comeback From Zeenat Aman, Rakhee Gulzar to Urmila Matondkar, these yesteryear’s femme fatales are all set to reclaim their space on the big screen after a break Divya Khosla Kumar made her acting debut in 2004 with Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyo. She shifted her focus to direction after marrying producer Bhushan Kumar. But in 2021, she came back to acting with Satyameva Jayate 2. Last year, she was seen in Yaariyan 2. Rakhee Gulzar on the set of Amar Boss Urmila Matondkar Zeenat Aman Comeback queen Sheetal T HEY say ‘turn every setback into a comeback’ and Bollywood actresses know how to spot an opportunity amid n number of casual offers. The recent buzz of Zeenat Aman making a filmy re-entry for a Manish Malhotra project, Rakhee Gulzar finishing the shoot for an upcoming Bengali film and Urmila Matondkar making a comeback with Tiwari, we can’t help but discuss what makes their comebacks more popular than their debuts. As we list some iconic comebacks, we also give you a peek at this year’s most-anticipated returns. Coming up next Last year, Zeenat Aman made an Instagram debut and turned many heads. There are reports that Bun Tikki, her Shilpa Shetty Dimple Kapadia Neetu Kapoor comeback film, will release this year. The 72-year-old actress will be seen alongside Shabana Azmi. She was in Shimla to shoot for the project in January. Veteran actress Rakhee Gulzar is also finally returning and that too with a Bengali film after a 20-year hiatus in Shiboprosad Mukherjee’s Amar Boss. Her last release was Rituparno Ghosh’s Shubho Mahurat (2003). And then we have the Rangeela girl, Urmila Matondkar, who has given hits like Satya. She has apparently rejected more than 50 scripts to plan her ‘perfect’ relaunch with the web series, Tiwari to be released this c m y b Sridevi year. Just like Sonali Bendre (The Broken News), Karisma Kapoor (Mentalhood), and Raveena Tandon (Aranyak) who returned with web series, it would be interesting to see what Tiwari brings for her. Urmila last did EMI in 2008. Pushing the envelope From Neena Gupta making a powerful comeback by playing a pregnant woman in her ’60s in Badhaai Do to Sridevi’s English Vinglish or Sushmita Sen dishing out three seasons of Aarya (her debut web series) Bollywood ladies ace in their comeback game. Neetu Kapoor had mostly stayed away from camera post her marriage to Divya Khosla Neena Gupta late actor Rishi Kapoor. While every now and then she chose to do a supporting role alongside Rishi Kapoor in movies like Love Aaj Kal, Do Dooni Chaar, Jab Tak Hai Jaan, and Besharam, it was only after her husband’s death that she was ready to embrace acting all over again. She returned to movies with Jugjugg Jeeyo, which was a hit. Shilpa Shetty didn’t appear in films since Apne (2007) until 2021 when she made her comeback with Hungama 2. Her recent theatrical release Sukhee was admired by the masses as was her role in digital debut series, Indian Police Force. When you talk about the on and off relationship of actresses with silver screen, Dimple Kapadia is the first name that pops up. The actress, hailed as the comeback queen, had married Rajesh Khanna even before the release of her debut movie, Bobby which became a huge blockbuster of its time. Kapadia made the first comeback of many a decade later in 1984 when she separated from her husband. The very next year, she delivered a hit Saagar. It’s the past few years that have been a different ball game for her. First a Hollywood debut with Christopher Nolan’s Tenet, then a significant part in SRK’s comeback film Pathaan and who can forget her as the lead in web series Saas Bahu Aur Flamingo. It won’t be wrong to say Saas Bahu... is the first series showcasing a drug cartel being run by women. Her gangster vibe in approaching the versatile roles is hard to miss! Modern marvel Actor Shahid Kapoor, who is gearing up for his upcoming movie Deva, now is all set to headline the mythological drama Ashwatthama — The Saga Continues. Taking to Instagram, Shahid treated fans with the exciting news. — ANI
