`Aashiqui` actress Anu Aggarwal, who worked with the late Saawan Kumar Tak in his 1993 movie `Khal Naaika`, calls him a `visionary` filmmaker and shares her experience of working with him. Known for films such as `Sanam Bewafa` and `Souten`, the 86-year-old director passed away on August 25 at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Mumbai, where he was undergoing treatment for lung infection. Anu says: "He will be missed. May he rest well in the better place he has gone to."
While talking about her equation with the late filmmaker, she says: "Sawan Kumar ji was an extraordinary visionary and a brave filmmaker. He dared to make a movie, in which the female protagonist turns into a psycho killer. In the 90s, and pretty much even now, the concept can easily be termed unique. "When he approached me for `Khal Naaikaa` with a video of the American film, `The Hand that Rocks the Cradle` (1992), I was mesmerised by the intensity of the role as an actor. I can call it a dream role without blinking an eye."
