Hema
Malini
and
director
Ramesh
Sippy
are
working
together
after
almost
40
years
and
the
actress-politician
says
he
is
still
the
same
and
is
very
mischievous
with
her.
The
duo
have
given
hits
like
Andaz,
Seeta
Aur
Geeta
and
Sholay
in
the
1970s.
Would
they
again
generate
the
same
hysteria
with
their
fourth
outing
together
titled
Shimla
Mirchi,
which
also
stars
Rajkummar
Rao?
"It's
hard
to
say
from
so
early
in
the
shoot
if
the
film
would
turn
out
to
be
as
special
as
our
earlier
films.
I
am
working
with
Rameshji
after
nearly
40
years...We
picked
up
the
threads
of
our
association
as
if
the
big
time-gap
didn't
happen
in-between," said
Hema
Malini.
Hema
says
the
director
has
a
very
special
way
of
bonding
with
her.
"He
is
very
mischievous
with
me.
There
is
a
glint
in
his
eye
and
a
secret
smile
that
hasn't
faded
with
time.
He
is
still
the
same.
Shooting
with
Rameshji
is
still
a
lot
of
fun," the
actress
said.
If
reports
are
to
be
believed,
the
story
is
about
how
a
single
mother
(Hema
Malini)
and
her
daughter
(Rakul
Preet
Singh)
fall
in
love
with
the
same
man.
Quite
a
bold
departure
from
what
she
has
done
so
far.
"It
isn't
as
if
I
haven't
done
any
bold
films.
I
did
films
like
Rihaee
and
Lal
Patthar
where
I
played
unconventional
characters.
However,
Shimla
Mirchi
is
not
a
bold
film.
It's
a
very
sweet,
tender
and
endearing
film
about
human
relationships.
I
haven't
yet
started
shooting
with
the
youngsters.
But
I
am
looking
forward
to
it,"
she
said.
Initially,
the
actress
could
take
only
three
days
off
from
her
political
work
to
shoot
in
Shimla.
She
intends
to
continue
with
her
political
career.
"Although
a
majority
of
time
is
now
taken
up
by
my
work
for
my
constituency
in
Mathura,
I
will
continue
doing
an
occasional
film,
maybe
one
every
year.
I
am
first
an
artiste
and
then
a
politician."
"In
fact,
I
got
a
chance
to
be
a
MP
because
of
my
name
in
cinema.
And
I
should
never
forget
that.
People
in
my
constituency
ask,
'Hemaji,
when
do
we
get
to
see
you
in
another
film?',"
she
said.
The
Dream
Girl,
who
hasn't
faced
the
movie
camera
for
a
year
now,
says
Ramesh
Sippy
made
her
an
offer
she
couldn't
resist.
"Rameshji
insisted.
And
when
I
heard
the
script
I
knew
why.
At
my
age,
actresses
don't
get
such
important
roles
that
easily,"
said
the
65-year-old.
And
the
actress,
who
last
produced
Tell
Me
O
Kkhuda,
has
decided
to
never
go
into
film
production
again.
"I
lost
loads
of
money
on
every
project
that
I've
produced
so
far.
So
thanks,
but
no
thanks.
No
more
film
production
for
me.
I'll
act
in
selected
films.
The
rest
of
my
time
would
be
devoted
to
my
constituency,"
she
said.
