Zeenat Aman, the first Miss India to crossover from modelling to films, is living in the past. The actress who gave ‘sexy’ a new meaning in the 70s and 80s with films like Hare Rama Hare Krishna, Manoranjan, Shalimar and The Great Gambler, is not just making a comeback to Bollywood in a substantial role in Sanjay Sharma’s Dunno Y... Na Jaane Kyun, but she’s also performing her evergreen number Aap Jaisa Koi from Qurbani.
She will be re-uniting with her co-star Kabir Bedi after 38 years. Amidst all these reports also comes the news that songstress Lata Mangeshkar — who has sung such lovely numbers for Zeenie baby asYashomati Maiyya Se Bole Nandlala, Panna ki Tamanna Hai, Main Na Bhoolungi and Satyam Shivam Sundaram, has lent her voice once again for the actress, apparently after a gap of almost 25 years, the last film being Yaadon ki Kasam in 1985.
Says music director Nikhil who managed to convince Lata to sing for the film, “She’s sung the title track of the film. I hummed the tune of the song for her and she immediately agreed to do it. Of course, she was extremely happy to know that the song will be picturised on Zeenat and went into a nostalgic mode while speaking to me.” The actress, on her part too, says Nikhil, was overjoyed when she heard about Lata singing for her once again. “When legends meet, history is created and that’s what is happening now,” adds Nikhil.
