Bidita Bag rocks as she plays Reshma Pathan, the first stuntwoman of India on ZEE5’s The Sholay Girl. The show will be released on International Women’s Day (March 8, 2019).
ZEE5
is
all
set
to
release
the
web
series
that
is
based
on
the
story
of
Reshma
Pathan,
the
first
stuntwoman
of
India,
on
the
occasion
of
International
Women's
Day
(March
8,
2019).
Ahead
of
the
web
series'
release,
the
makers
revealed
the
trailer
of
the
show,
in
which
Bidita
Bag
as
Reshma
Shines
as
The
Sholay
Girl.
The
trailer
begins
with
the
action
sequence
from
the
film
Sholay.
Reshma,
who
is
seen
as
Hema
Malini's
body
double
is
seen
dressed
as
Basanti.
Unfortunately,
she
meets
with
an
accident
and
is
severely
hurt.
Then
the
scene
shifts
to
the
childhood
and
family
background
of
Reshma,
and
how
she
struggled
and
became
the
stunt
woman.
Recently,
Bidita
had
shared
a
sneak-peek
of
her
character
and
captioned,
"It's
going
to
be
an
action-packed
International
Women's
Day
on
#ZEE5."
The
show
is
directed
by
Aditya
Sarpotdar
and
produced
by
Sai
Deodhar.
Aditya
said
that
the
idea
behind
The
Sholay
Girl
was
to
celebrate
Women's
Day
in
a
different
way.
He
was
quoted
by
Scroll.in
as
saying,
"We
have
never
actually
seen
how
the
lives
of
stunt
people
are
in
the
film
industry,
especially
stunt
women.
Also,
Reshma
Pathan's
story
was
very
exciting
and
had
a
lot
of
drama."
Apparently,
Reshma
began
working
as
a
stunt
double
when
she
was
14
to
assist
her
family
financially.
She
had
a
tough
time
convincing
her
parents
and
relatives
about
her
choice
of
profession.
The
trailer
of
the
show
also
reveals
the
same.
Apart
from
Hema
Malini,
Reshma
has
worked
as
a
body
double
for
Sridevi,
Dimple
Kapadia
and
Meenakshi
Seshadri.
The
Sholay
Girl
trailer
looks
interesting
and
engaging;
and
we
must
say
that
we
can't
wait
to
watch
the
series!
