Director Govind Menon's Rekha-Mallika Sherawat starrer, Bachke Rehna Re Baba, has been confirmed for
an April 22 release.
"It is a date that has been cautiously arrived at by the producers one week
after the Indo-Pak series ends on April 17. We were particular about avoiding the double barrel attack of the
examination period and the cricket series, which led us to arrive at this particular release date," Menon
reveals.
Produced by Vijay Galani and Rahul Sugandh and presented by Boney Kapoor, the film has been in the
news ever since it was launched for Rekha being cast in the unique role of a glamorous con-woman, who
cons rich men out of their money.
Mallika plays her sister and accomplice in the film. Post KIS
KISKI KISMAT, there were doubts being raised about whether Menon's next film would have a tough time
finding buyers but there has been no dearth of buyers for the film. The recently released television teasers
of the film have got the producers an excellent response according to Menon.
Irrespective of its box-office fate, Menon feels that it was a memorable experience working with Rekha in
the film. "She is one of the legends of the Indian screen and it was a challenge working with someone of
her caliber. The biggest quality about her is her openness to suggestions and the eagerness to grow with
each performance, which makes actors of her ilk a very successful lot," he states.
