Dr. Achala Nagar's journey from 'Nikaah' to 'Babul'

  • IndiaGlitz, [Friday,November 03 2006]

It is not just the cast of Ravi Chopra's 'Babul' that holds similarity with his last hit 'Baghban'. Even his writer for the two films is same.

Dr. Achala Nagar is the lady who suggested the idea of 'Babul' to Ravi Chopra after having worked on 'Baghban' and it took him no time to close on the subject and take in on to Amitabh Bachchan. Even Big B didn't blink en eyelid before giving a go-ahead the film was on.

Dr. Nagar has been known for her work in films like 'Nikaah' when she first worked with B.R. Chopra. Later she went on to write dialogues for many more successful films like 'Nagina', 'Eeshwar' and 'Sailaab'.

'Babul' too is slowly but steadily catching up the heat as the film's theme about widow empowerment told in a manner that suits contemporary sensibilities is becoming visible to the film lovers.
