Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to step into the legendary Nargis’ role and no

The film is Raat Aur Din. Directed by Satyen Bose, this 1969 black-and-white classic with astonishing songs sung by Lata Mangeshkar featured Nargis as a woman with a split personality. For portraying two different personalities in one character,Nargis had won the National award for Best Actress.

For Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, to encore a role immortalized by Nargis would be the biggest challenge of her career. Says Prerna Aroraa, “It’s too early to talk about this project. But yes, I’d like to say it would be a tremendous challenge for Aishwarya to play a role for which Nargisji is remembered to this day. Let’s not forget, Raat Aur Din was Nargisji’s swan song. She never returned to acting after this film. Her fans still remember her in this film. It’s her most iconic role after Mother India. And I’m proud to be associated with this film.”
