I will look for a good financer to co-produce with me, and will get another director. She says, “It will be an expensive project.
However Hema refuses to get into the director’s chair with this one. It goes to show people love seeing grand historical stories, if told well.” But I promise there will be lots of action, horse riding and beautiful war scenes.” The actoress-director adds, “When Jodha Akbar was being made, I was sceptical about it, but see how beautifully it turned out. Will Esha have a dance number in Razia? She says, “Queens don’t dance. The story talks about how she handled both and faced the war.” One was a slave who trained her for action, sword fighting, horse riding and how to tackle things on the battlefield. Talking about her fascination for the first empress of Hindustan, Hema says, “Two men were in love with her. I feel it lost focus because the film shoot went on for over seven years.” Hema, incidently, got married during this time and Esha was born.
The Dream Girl confidently says, “Esha would look beautiful as Razia.” Since the film wasn’t Hema’s most successful, why is she choosing to remake it? She says, “The 1983 film script couldn’t do justice to the queen’s ‘rutba’ (panache). After taking over directorial reins for Esha’s re-launch vehicle, Tell Me O Kkhuda, the actress now plans to re-make Razia Sultan (1983) with her daughter as the lead. Hema Malini admits to pulling out all the stops to make sure her daughter Esha Deol’s career takes off.
