Have you checked out the stills of ‘The last Lear’ featuring Preity Zinta? If not, check them out and you surely will not miss how strikingly similar is her look to that of Rekha in ‘Silsila’.
Her long beautiful tresses, ‘bindi’ on her forehead and cotton saris surely reinvent Preity in the ‘Rekha’ avatar. Director Rituparno Ghosh, who is known for making classic cinema, has designed the Preity’s look keeping in mind Rekha’s look from ‘Silsila’.
Producer Arindam Chaudhuri of ‘Planman’ confessed in one of his interviews that Rituparno is in love with the way Rekha looked in ‘Silsila’ and she wanted a similar get-up for Preity in ‘The Last Lear’.
Whether Rituporno is pleased with Rekha’s reflection in Preity’s look or not, Big B for sure had some sweet memories rekindled of those ‘Silsila’ days!
