Veteran actress Tanuja will be seen stepping in Gabbar's shoe and counting on men "Kitne Aadmi the', unerringly the way Gabber did for the TV serial 'Babban Bhai V/s Bimla Tai'.
"Tanuja ji is a complete sporty lady and did not show paroxysm for getting in to Gabbar's character", says Yash Patnaik, show's producer. "She loves to experiment with her own looks and is very co-operative", adds Yash.
"Everybody on the sets simply adore her and is very fond of her", chirps the producer. To sum it up in a few words "Tanuja ji is a part of the family, a wonderful actor to work with and an awe-inspiring human being", adds Yash Patnaik.
Well Gabbar's in awe for sure!
Adds Tanuja, "I always kept receiving a lot of offers. They were all saas-bahu sagas where I had to play the head of the family. I cannot see myself doing these soaps that go on and on. When I was offered the role I like the concept. When I heard about the character I was to play, I freaked out. I thought to myself, what can I do with this character that imparts a social message in a funny way.
I was happy that I would be doing something to make people laugh. Besides the interesting role, the producers agreed to all my terms and conditions. What's more it's a weekly which suits me fine. It's great fun doing this serial."
Talking about her films, she says, "I have three films on hand. One is being directed by Satish Kaushik, it is untitled yet and there's Halle Dil. I am also acting in one Bengali film."
She is also keeping her fingers crossed for U, ME AUR HUM which features her daughter Kajol along with son-in-law Ajay Devgan. She reveals, "Ajay's been inviting me to see the rushes but I have told him I will watch it when it's complete and in the theatre on the day of the premiere. I can wait till then."
