Vyjayanthimala returns to the screen after 42 years

Veteran actress Vyjayanthimala Bali, who was last seen on the big screen in 1970’s Ganwaar opposite Rajendra Kumar, is set for her big screen outing after almost 42 years. The actress will be seen giving an important message in support of a medical cause in the upcoming Sandeep Malani and Kalpana Pandit film Janleva 555.

“Kalpana and I had approached Vyjayanthmalaji requesting her to provide us a Critical Medical Cause message to the audiences, as she is one of the most loved actors ever and her name is etched forever in the annals of Indian Cinema,” reveals Sandeep, adding that the actress immediately agreed when she was told about the cause. “On hearing the nature of the cause, she agreed. What made it more special was that we filmed her at her own ancestral residence in Chennai. We are truly blessed,” adds the filmmaker. 

While talking about her return to the big screen, the senior star said, “I was glad to know that Janleva 555 has been made to support and help acquire ventilator systems and supply to the hospitals and it’s indeed a great job. First of all, it is a great thought and it’s very useful for the people in the villages and especially children who die of snake bites. This kind of ventilator system to help children bitten by snakes  is a very noble task. I appreciate this work and this project that has been taken up. I wish the makers of the film all success and I request everybody to please watch this film because it will be one-of-its-kind.”

Working with the legendary actor was nothing short of a dream come true for Kalpana. "There can be no bigger blessing for my maiden home production than to receive the good wishes of the first original superstar of Indian Cinema," she said.
