More recenty Shabana's husband Javed Akhtar had opined that he didn't think too highly of Rekha. "I've never been a fan of Rekha Mujhe uski performance dil mein nahin lagi. Unka rona hasna sab heroine ka hota hai. The first time I really liked her was in Krissh."
But now, 30 years after they played Sahelis fighting over Jeetendra in Raaste Pyar Ke, Rekha and Shabana may be brought together in a film called Sadiyaan.
And the ambitious director who may pull off this casting coup is Raj Kanwar who has so far been known mainly for his male-oriented subjects.
Reluctant to reveal too many details at the moment Raj Kanwar says, "Sadiyaan which means centuries, would be an entirely new territory for me. Yes I do want to cast Rekha and Shabanaji together. Work is on for the screenplay. Song recordings have also started. I hope to get the project in place in a few weeks.'
Rekha is deeply excited by the film. "Shabana whom I call Munni is always a pleasure to work with. When you have a co-star like her you're challenged to give your best.
Sadiyaan would be interesting also because I've never worked with Raj Kanwar before. Also he's planning to cast a very big male actor in a guest appearance," she ends mysteriously.
