The
retro
Bollywood
widow
is
all
set
to
make
a
comeback
in
Reliance
Entertainment's
and
Maruti
Internationals
Double
Dhamaal.
The
film
sees
Kangana
Ranaut
play
a
character
inspired
by
Jaya
Bachchan's
role
in
Sholay.
Says
a
source
from
sets,
"The
quintessential
widow
form
Sholay
is
back
with
Kangana
in
Double
Dhamaal.
Inspired
by
Sholay's
iconic
widow,
played
by
Jaya
Bachchan,
the
director
has
styled
Kangana
in
a
similar
look
for
one
of
the
scenes
in
the
film.
Instead
of
wearing
normal
clothes
required
for
the
scene,
the
director
told
the
stylists
to
give
Kangana
an
old
white
saree,
just
like
the
ones
widows
in
old
films
wore."
Director
Indra
Kumar
says:
"It
is
a
spoof
a
funny
scene
all
in
good
humour.
We
are
not
making
fun
of
or
passing
derogatory
remarks
on
Jayaji
and
Sholay.
It's
just
that
in
earlier
times
all
widows
were
stereotyped.
They
wore
white
sarees
and
would
only
cook
gajar
ka
halwaand
aaloo
parathas
for
their
mothers.
The
particular
scene,
with
all
the
other
actors,
is
a
spoof
where
she
is
in
a
widow's
garb
with
minimal
make-up.
In
the
film,
she
plays
a
modern,
smart
and
sexy
young
secretary
to
Sanjay
Dutt."
