Watch Out For Raveena Mini, Rasha

Unlike
Raveena
Tandon,
her
daughter
Rasha
Thadani
always
dreamed
of
sizzling
on
celluloid.

Her
wish
comes
true
on
January
17
when
she
makes
her
debut
in
Abhishek
Kapoor’s

Azaad
opposite
Ajay
Devgn’s
nephew
Aaman.

Aaman’s
famous
uncle’s
support
extends
to
pitching
in
a
role
in
the
movie.

Did
you
know
both
Ajay
and
Raveena
began
their
acting
careers
in
1991
with

Phool
Aur
Kaante
and

Patthar
Ke
Phool
respectively
and
won
a
Filmfare
each
for
Best
Debut
and
Fresh
Face?

Subsequently,
the
duo
shared
screen
in
a
couple
of
masala
movies,
including

Dilwale,
which
was
among
1994’s
biggest
blockbusters.

Azaad‘s
pre-independence
India
drama
revolving
around
rebels
and
rulers
aspires
to
be
an
action-packed
launchpad
for
the
newbies
as
it
rehashes
the
hoity
toity
royal
meets
rough
stable
boy
premise.

Whether
Rasha’s
chemistry
around
Aaman
repeats
the
success
of
Ajay-Raveena’s?
Will
Rasha
live
up
to
Raveena’s
magic?
Such
comparisons
only
seem
fair
when
Rasha
herself
is
happy
to
recreate
her
mum’s
iconic
avatars.
Like
that
one
photoshoot
inspired
by
Raveena’s
sultry

Yeh
Raat
look
in

Aks.

Rasha
is
no
stranger
to
the
limelight.
Even
before
her
first
movie
has
dropped
into
theatres,
she
draws
a
following
of
millions
on
social
media
and
boasts
of
impressive
endorsements
in
her
kitty.

Quite
like
mum
Raveena
who
was
already
a
familiar
face
in
the
advertising
world
before
her
hoop
earrings,
combo
of
slacks
and
minis
and
skating
on
the
streets
of
Mumbai
with
Salman
Khan
in

Patthar
Ke
Phool
became
the
rage.

Having
Bollywood’s

Mast
Mast
girl
for
mom
sure
has
its
perks.
Looks
like
Rasha
picked
those
traits
early
on.
Raveena
mini,
anyone?

Clearly,
the
19
year
old
has
inherited
Raveena’s
glamour
game.
Before
the
ravishing

Shaher
Ki
Ladki
became
known
for
her
author-backed
roles
in
serious
fare,
Raveena’s
scorching
dance
numbers
had
frontbenchers
flocking
the
theatres.
And
we
get
ample
glimpse
of
those
attributes
in
Rasha’s
racy

Uyi
Amma
rendition.

For
all
the
mother-daughter
similarities,
of
which
we
see
abundant
glimpses
in
the
posts
they
keep
sharing
on
social
media…

Their
debuts
could
not
be
more
different.

Produced
by
G
P
Sippy
and
directed
by
Anant
Balani,

Patthar
Ke
Phool‘s
lukewarm
drama
—
revolving
around
a
policeman’s
son
going
after
his
girlfriend’s
dad
on
learning
he’s
responsible
for
his
father’s
death
—
is
best
remembered
for
Raam
Laxman’s
zingy
soundtrack.

Raveena’s
biggest
reason
to
sign
the
movie
was
her
hero,
Salman
Khan.
Fresh
off
the
success
of

Maine
Pyaar
Kiya,
her
friends
happened
to
be
hardcore
fans
of
his
burgeoning
heartthrob
status.

Abhishek
Kapoor
introduced
the
likes
of
Farhan
Akhtar
in

Rock
On,
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
in

Kai
Po
Che,
Sara
Ali
Khan
in

Kedarnath,
and
is
reason
enough
to
believe
that
Rasha
is
in
good
hands.

But
whether
her
juggling
between

angrezi
mem
and

gaon
ki
gori
in
Bollywood’s
dated
tradition
finds
takers
among
hard-to-please

junta,
only
January
17
will
tell.
