Happy to return to acting after 11 years, Sharmila Tagore on giving in to director’s vision as she teams up with Manoj Bajpayee for Gulmohar

The first look of the family drama was unveiled on Tuesday
The camera has missed Sharmila Tagore as much as she has missed it. After 11 years since Break Ke Baad (2010), the veteran actor returned in front of the lens for Rahul Chittella’s Gulmohar. So, what lured her back to the world of acting? The delightful script, she says. “Working with Manoj Bajpayee was an added attraction,” smiles Tagore, who plays the matriarch of the Batra family in the drama that also stars Suraj Sharma.
Eleven years is a long time to be away from a movie set. Did she feel nervous before the first day of shooting? “Facing the camera felt familiar even after so long. I was a bit thoughtful about how things would work out the night before the shoot began, but the moment the first shot was taken, I felt at ease. We had a table read before filming started, so that broke the ice.”
