Pankaj Kapoor and Shabana Azmi get 'flirty' at 55

21st November 2012

Vishal Bhardwaj's next film titled 'Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola' will have yet another couple who will sizzle onscreen with their flirty avatar, besides the main leads Imran Khan and Anushka Sharma.

It is heard that the veteran stars Pankaj Kapoor and Shabana Azmi will play sexually active 55-plus people in the movie. According to sources, this is the first time the two will be playing such a character. Pankaj plays Anushka's father in 'Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola'. He behaves like he is younger than Anushka's boyfriend Imran and he keeps flirting with Shabana.

Sources state that initially the actors were hesitant to do the roles. Though there isn't much intimacy between the two, but the age factor made it a little daunting. Eventually they sailed through it.

They further added that Pankaj's character is partly inspired by Vijay Mallya. He will sport the same larger-than-life way of living and even the get-up including the beard is the same.
