Rekha to return to cinema in family film?

Bollywood legend Rekha is to play her first lead role in six years.

The actress will star in a family film by directing duo Indra Kumar and Ashok Thakeria.



Thakeria told IANS: "Super Nani is a complete family entertainer which will touch you, heal you and leave you feeling good. It is all about respect and power of women."

Kumar added: "I narrated the script to Rekhaji, she said 'Eureka!' and agreed. It was magical. She knew that the script was right, and I think even that was a positive moment for me."

The 58-year-old actress will also make an appearance in Krrish 3 opposite Hrithik Roshan.

Rekha was reportedly ready to reunite onscreen with Sisila co-star Amitabh Bachchan for a new venture before the project was shelved.

Younger stars Kangana Ranaut and Vidya Balan have described her as a style inspiration.
