Sara Ali Khan To Do Mother Amrita’s Chameli Ki Shaadi?

Sara Ali Khan, who has rapidly risen to the ranks of  the  top entertainers in  Bollywood , now faces  the  formidable  challenge of  encoring her  mother’s most iconic role  in  Basu Chatterjee’s 1986  social  comedy Chameli Ki Shaadi.

 The  film was a moderate  success  and is regarded  as Amrita Singh’s strongest  performance vehicle  of her career.

 It would be disastrous  for Amrita’s daughter Sara Ali Khan to do  a remake  of her mother’s most iconic. Sara  should not even  go anywhere near Chameli Ki Shaadi.  It would be  like Twinkle Khanna re-doing her  mother Dimple’s  Bobby, or Soha Ali Khan in a  new-age  version of her gorgeous  mom SharmilaTagore’s  Amar Prem. Or Mala Sinha’s daughter Pratibha  encoring her  mother’s Dhool  Ka  Phool.

Even the  thought of  Sara Ali Khan   doing Chameli  Ki Shaadi is scary. The comparisons between  the two versions  of  the  same  film would be  pretty  much  in  the mother’s favour, no matter how effectively Sara  is able to  rehabiliate  her  mother’s world.

Sara Ali Khan has just begun  her career.  Her  first two  films Kedarnath and Simmba  reveal her  to be  natural-born camera-friendly  vivacious and spontneaous. But she’s no Amrita Singh. Not yet. So let’s not push  it.
