Saira Banu chose to share snippets of her initial scene with the renowned actress Lalita Pawar on her Instagram. Sharing the same, Saira Banu wrote in caption, “Moving ahead, I love to remember my very first shot which was a scene shared with the commanding persona of Lalita Pawarji who played a very authoritative and highly principled mother to the hero Shammi Kapoor whose character was etched in the very same mould of lofty mannerisms. When I did this scene all my nervous reactions to the bellowing dialogues said to me by Lalita Pawarji got very natural reactions of innocent replies to her shooting these darting questions at me. When Shammiji saw this scene in front of the whole unit he said. “Do you know Saira your tremendous innocence is your most attractive trait? God Bless You! But one day as you grow up in your life and your career, you will miss this innocence — It is precious. It will never come back.”

The actress further added, “My very first appearance on the screen ever after the display of Billboards all over the country saying “The Curtain will be raised soon to greet the “Beauty Queen”. The Director Subodh Mukherjee shot the first scene between Shammi Sahab and Me at Kufri, Simla amidst mountains of snow where the heroine playfully, cleverly bounces snow-balls at Shammiji and hides behind a mound of snow. The first shot on screen is when she slyly emerges from behind this mound of snow and that is the first time the public sees her.”

“Thereon emanates the first squabble and battle between the “Yahoo” Hero and Heroine with Chahey Koi Mujhe Junglee Kahay …Yahoo! Shammiji was a maestro in these scenes. He created the popular term “Yahoo” for everyone here! This became a famous exclamation term with the public all over. Tomorrow, I will share more fascinating insights and anecdotes about “JUNGLEE” and Shammiji and my cinematic journey,” the actress concluded.

After playing in theatres for 10 days, the Salman Khan starrer Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan has entered the Rs. 100 Crore Club. It has taken a while for the film to reach here since pre-pandemic it was an entirely different scenario where Salman Khan starrers were scoring as much in their opening weekend itself. However, these are different times and hence the kind of momentum that was evidenced for films in 2019 or before is just not coming in. Yes, there are exceptions like Pathaan or Brahmastra but then those have a different kind of pitch and aren’t regular affairs. This can be seen in the way how collections are coming for the Farhad Samji directed film in the second weekend, what with Sunday collections staying low at Rs. 3.50 crores. For a big holiday release, one would have been expecting a double digit score at the bare minimum on second Sunday but then that has hardly happened for any film during last 18 odd months ever since Akshay Kumar’s Sooryavanshi opened theatres aga
