What happened to the remake of Mahesh Bhatt’s Arth that Revathi was supposed to direct? Announced in 2019 with much fanfare , the project had the blessings of Bhatt . It was to feature Swara Bhaskar in Shabana Azmi’s role.
Of all the iconic roles that the formidable Shabana Azmi has played the one that stands out as super-iconic is the deserted wife in Mahesh Bhatt’s Arth. That role, admits Shabana to a large extent, defined the shape of her career.
However it seems the idea of a trying to redo Arth has been dropped.
Says Revathi, “That project did not fall into place with the right actors. I’ve postponed it for now. We are actually doing a take on the subject , an idea that remained unexplored in the original.I didn’t want to do a faithful remake.I wanted to take the characters into a different direction.”
Incidentally Revathi played Shabana’s role in Balu Mahendra’s Marapudiyam , the Tamil version of Arth.
