Kajol, one of the powerhouse performers of contemporary Indian cinema, returns to the screens with Helicopter Eela. The actress, whose last Bollywood release was Dilwale, about three years ago, essays the part of a single mother of a teenage son (played by National Award-winning Bengali actor Riddhi Sen) in this Pradeep Sarkar directorial.
During the filming of a crucial scene of the climax, the Padma Shri (2011) awardee had the crew moist-eyed with her heart-rending histrionics.
Recalls a crew member, “The climax of the movie is an intensely emotional one. And when Kajol enacted the high-strung scene, everyone present had tears in their eyes. Looking at her emote so strongly made us remember our poignant moments with our mothers.”
Looks like the actress is all set to take cinegoers on an emotional roller-coaster journey with her upcoming movie.
