The veteran actress Hema Malini after long time was all set for her comeback with film titled Shimla Mirchi but the project is on queue for her, before that there is no sign of that movie making any headway to theatres, but now the Baghban lady will instead be seen in the Telugu historical costume war drama, Gautamiputra Satakarni.

As per sources, "After taking over the reins of direction for her daughter Esha Deol’s relaunch film Tell Me O Khuda, Hemaji had taken a break from the world of Bollywood. She continued with her endorsement assignments though. However, films were far from her mind. It was only a couple of years ago when Ramesh Sippy offered her a challenging role of a mother who falls in love with her daughter’s suitor. The film with Rajkummar Rao and Rakul Preet Singh, went on floors soon too but now there is no sign of it.”

After 2011, the actress is back to Cinema, “Now, she is finally making a comeback with Gautamiputra Satakarni, “In the film, she is playing the mother of the central protagonist Satakarni, enacted by Nandamuri Balakrishna. It is a grand film on the lines of Baahubali and is directed by Krish, who had delivered Akshay Kumar’s Gabbar Is Back last year. Hemaji has a very meaty role in the film,” the sources added.

She was last seen in 2000 in any South film, “In her career spanning five decades, she has never acted in a core South Indian film. Even Hey Ram was a Tamil-Hindi bilingual. Gautamiputra Satakarni is her first ever core Telugu film and she has a key role to play in there. In a way, the film is not just her comeback to the big screen, but also a debut in Telugu cinema.
