Zeenat Aman shares throwback pic from ‘Laawaris’ shoot; calls Amitabh Bachchan ‘punctilious and punctual’

Veteran actor Zeenat Aman took to Instagram and shared a throwback picture from the shoot of her 1981 film ‘Laawaris’, co-starring Amitabh Bachchan. She dropped a still from the shoot of the song ‘Kab Ke Bichde Hue Hum Aaj’ and wrote that the movie was released 42 years ago on this day on 22nd May 1981.

‘An old school Masala blockbuster, it’s the story of a man born from an illicit relationship, and includes themes of love, betrayal, murder and reconciliation,’ she explained.

‘This still is from the song 'kab ke bichhde hue hum aaj'. I had been visiting a friend in London, and flew directly to Kashmir to make it in time for this shoot. Director Prakash Mehra had been keeping unwell, but his excellent team of assistants stepped up to the plate. We shot the song over two-three days in some of the most stunning locations I have ever been to. Jumpsuits were all the rage back then, and this purple set was just fabulous! (and the reason I chose this picture.),’ Zeenat wrote.

The actor also added how she maintained a working relationship with Big B and said that he would always be punctual on set.

She said, ‘Amit ji and I have had such a long working relationship, and I think part of the reason that we made a good onscreen jodi (pair) is our shared work ethic. We were both punctilious and punctual, which anyone in the industry will agree is not quite as common amongst actors as they’d like! I only ever recall him being late to set once in all those years, and boy is that a story to tell.’

Zeenat joined Instagram in February 2023. She has nearly 300,000 followers. The actor is all set for the release of ‘Margaon: The Closed Case’ and the web series ‘Showsttopper’.
