Saira Banu On Working With Amitabh Bachchan And Vinod Khanna In Hera Pheri: "Happy And Enjoyable Time"

"It was a very happy and enjoyable time to have done Hera Pheri," wrote Saira Banu

veteran actress saira banu's instagram timeline is nothing less than a treasure trove of priceless memories. a case in point, the padosan star on sunday walked down the memory lane and reminisced her experience of working with film veterans amitabh bachchan and vinod kumar in the 1976 film hera pheri. recalling the times spent on the sets with her two marvellous co-stars, she wrote, "it was a very happy and enjoyable time to have done “Hera Pheri”. @amitabhbachchan amitabh bachchan and vinod khanna played crafty tricksters in the movie and i played a cunning female swindler. director prakash mehra let the three of us have a free hand at all the outrageously funny scenes. i had already done a lot of work with vinod in films such as “Purab Aur Paschim”, “Aarop”, and “Nehle Pe Dehla” and with amitabh in “Zameer”."

The actress continued, "We had a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere and the Three of us would work at suggestions and improvisations to make the scenes riotously funny especially in the scenes where Vinod is constantly trying to tone down Amitabh from being overly romantic to the heroine. My own favourite scene is where I am rattling off in Marathi and Vinod is trying to curb Amitabh's zealous attempts to sit next to me. Please see and enjoy these scenes."
