Actress Zarina Wahab is all set for a reunion with her screen sister from Dev Anand's 'Ishk Ishk Ishk', Zeenat Aman. Except for this time, the duo will be seen as arch enemies in an upcoming mini-series. Both the actresses will play college best friends who reunite 30 years after graduation, at a mutual friend's destination wedding in Gujarat. Shooting for the nine-episode show has already kicked off on the outskirts of Baroda and will continue for the next 15 days.
“I am a huge fan of Zeenatji. She was already a star when I started my career,” Zarina said. “I've played lots of serious roles, but this time my character is mean and catty.” Director Kapil Sharma said that getting both the actresses onboard was not as big a task as it seemed. “I had heard that Zeenatji had rejected mother roles in big banner productions and it took me two months of constant follow-ups to get a meeting with her. When I told her that she would be playing an older, naughtier version of her turn in 'Heera Panna' and 'Manoranjan', she was happy.”
He added, “Zarinaji liked that fact that even though she would be seen as a mom, it was not a serious, intense role like the ones in 'Vishwaroopam' and 'My Name is Khan'. It was a win-win for all.”
