Raveena
Tandon
has
given
many
memorable
performances
in
her
career.
One
of
them
is
Eeshwar
Nivas'
critically
acclaimed
film
Shool
which
also
starred
Manoj
Bajpayee.
The
1999
film
had
bagged
the
National
Film
Award
for
Best
Feature
Film
in
Hindi
and
won
Raveena
some
rave
reviews
for
her
portrayal
of
Manjari,
a
lower
middle
class
housewife
from
Bihar.
Recently
when
the
actress
made
an
appearance
on
the
Actors'
Roundtable
2021
with
Rajeev
Masand,
she
revealed
that
while
the
film's
director
E
Niwas
was
absolutely
convinced
about
casting
her
in
the
film,
producer
Ram
Gopal
Varma
was
apprehensive
about
it
because
of
her
glamorous
image.
Raveena
told
Rajeev,
"He
kept
on
saying,
"No
yaar
Raveena.
I
shut
my
eyes
and
I
can
only
see
you
do
Ankhiyon
Se
Goli
Mare.
How
will
we
do
this?"
Nevertheless,
the
actress
went
on
to
do
the
the
banner
shoot,
poster
shoot,
publicity
shoot
before
the
film
went
on
floors.
Raveena
shared,
"We
are
still
shooting
stills
for
Rakesh
Shrestha.
I
get
out
of
my
make-up
room
and
am
walking
through
the
corridor
in
that
Manjari
bhabhi
look.
Ramu
(RGV)
is
coming
from
the
front
and
I
look
at
him
and
say,
'Ramu,
hi,
how
are
you
doing?
We
are
waiting
for
you,
we
have
already
started.'
And
he
nodded.
Suddenly
after
5-7
minutes
I
hear,
'oh
my
god,
Raveena!
That
was
you',
and
I
rested
my
case."
Besides
bankrolling
Shool,
Ram
Gopal
Varma
had
also
penned
the
film.
The
movie
revolves
around
Samar
(Manoj
Bajpayee),
an
honest
cop
who
must
deal
with
a
brutal
and
lawless
system
created
by
a
corrupt
politician
Bachchu
Yadav.
Besides
the
impressive
story-telling
and
performances,
Shool
is
also
remembered
for
Shilpa
Shetty's
iconic
dance
song
'Main
Aayi
Hoon
U.P.
Bihar
Lootne'.
Coming
back
to
Raveena
Tandon,
the
actress
recently
made
her
digital
debut
with
the
Netflix
web
series
Aranyak.
