In a heartfelt recollection, Mahesh Thakur, celebrated for his character roles in both films and television, fondly reminisced about his time working alongside the late legendary actress, Sridevi. During a recent interview, Mahesh delved into the experience of shooting a particularly intimate scene with Sridevi on the very first day of filming.
He shared, “There I was, tasked with romancing her. Despite the pressure, we clicked instantly, especially given the abundance of romantic scenes. With Satish ji guiding us, the stakes were high for any actor. However, Sridevi’s presence exuded a sense of ease that made the process remarkably smooth. Even Prabhudeva, enlisted for some initial dance sequences, couldn’t help but admire her grace. While we were admittedly nervous, she remained as warm and welcoming as ever.”
