Shabana, essayed the role of Rama Bhanot, the mother of Neerja, in the biopic on the late Neerja Bhanot, who lost her life while saving others on a hijacked plane.

"And Shabana Azmi ji, I can't express how much I loved your performance. That climax speech had me crying like a baby," Saqib tweeted.

The film also stars actress Sonam Kapoor, who essayed the role of Neerja in the film, which released on Friday.

On the work front, Saqib will soon be seen sharing screen space with actress and sister Huma Qureshi in the Hindi remake of American supernatural psychological horror film "Oculus".
