Mahi Gill, the next Rekha in the making
Her 'Emosional Attyachar' is toppingthe charts and rocking the youth, and naturally Mahi Gill is over the moon,with a superlative response to her debut film, DEV D. And hardly a month afterthe release of her first film, her next, GULAAL, has hit the screens toimproving 'by-the-day' collections.
Directed by Anurag Kashyap, thelucky director of her debut venture, DEV D, GULAAL has Mahi paired opposite KayKay. Once again, her role (which she calls a special appearance) is quite acomplex one. She plays Kay Kay's mistress who is slightly psychotic and runsher own parlor. Apart from her role, one thing that Mahi is really lookingforward to are the two very exciting dance numbers, 'mujraas' to be precise,that she has performed in GULAAL. So, do we have a Rekha in the making? Bold,beautiful, dedicated and a terrific dancer! Well, from the looks of it,certainly yes!
In fact while shooting for a songsequence in GULAAL, Mahi had a severe back problem but she finished the song injust two hours. Not many will know that Mahi is a trained 'kathak' dancer butshe specializes in what she calls freestyle dancing and it was at a party whereshe was dancing away to glory that Anurag saw her and offered her the role ofParo in DEV D.
Eagerly awaiting the audiencefeedback on her dance performances (and her acting as well!) in GULAAL, Mahiwill be seen in three more films this year, and coincidently, all the three arewith top production house, UTV, which has carved out a name for itself inpromoting and making intellectually different films.
