‘Mr. and Mrs. Mahi’ director Sharan Sharma insists any resemblances to ‘Abhimaan’ are purely coincidental

Hello, my lovely Bollywood buffs! This is your ever-curious and always-snooping Nisha, ready to spill the tea on the latest Bollywood drama. Grab your popcorn; it’s going to be a fun ride! 🍿🎬

So, Sharan Sharma’s latest flick, Mr. and Mrs. Mahi, is causing quite the stir. Surprise, surprise—people are comparing it to the 1973 classic Abhimaan, starring none other than Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan. The storyline? A married couple, cricket, and a whole lot of jealousy. Sounds familiar? Yep, that’s Abhimaan in a nutshell. But hold your horses, folks! Sharan swears on his director’s chair that any similarities are purely coincidental. 😏

In an interview, Sharan confessed that he hadn’t even watched Abhimaan when he and his team were penning down Mr. and Mrs. Mahi. Apparently, someone suggested he check out the old movie during the initial narration. So, off he went to watch it and realized—uh-oh, people are going to draw comparisons! But hey, according to Sharan, the characters in his movie come from a completely different headspace. Different strokes for different folks, eh? 🎥🤷‍♂️

The idea for Mr. and Mrs. Mahi sprang from societal norms about married women in India. Sharan and his team wondered—what if a woman marries into a family where her husband not only supports her career but also helps her shine? Wow, isn’t that a utopian dream? The movie digs deep into the support system behind an achiever. Usually, we focus on the star, but here, the spotlight shifts to the one who’s usually lurking in the shadows—the supporting character. And guess what? They’re not all sunshine and rainbows; their motivations are as gray as a Mumbai monsoon sky. 🌧️

Sharan’s vision was to flip the script—literally! Instead of glorifying the achiever, why not highlight the unsung hero behind them? The movie promises a fresh perspective on ambition and support within a marriage. Bold move, Sharan! Let’s see if Bollywood’s glitterati can handle this new angle. 🎭✨

Nisha’s Nutshell:
In Bollywood, everything old is new again, except when it’s not. Moral of the story? Even if you haven’t watched a classic, someone will always think you have. So, next time you pen down a script, maybe give the oldies a look-see first! 😜📝

Till next time, stay nosy, stay fabulous! 💃🕵️‍♀️
