Veteran actor Mumtaz has rejected Shah Rukh Khan’s mother’s idea of ​​playing on screen, which has strict criteria to accept roles. The actor who ruled on the silver screen in the 60s and 70s shared his views on his current approach to select age-appointed roles and scripts.

Talking to journalist Vicky Lalwani, Mumtaz said, “I will only play the role of a mother for an actor, who is 20 years younger than me, and only if I look good on screen.” Married at an early age and now selective about their roles, Mutz said that the attendance is one of the main factor in any project that he believes.

Interestingly, Shah Rukh Khan had confessed to having a big crush on Muttaz earlier. At a press event in 2011, he revealed, “My first two crush Mumtaz ji and Saira are living. Now I address them with ‘Zee’. I always felt that she was the most beautiful women in the world.”

On reminding SRK’s comment, Mutz accepted it warmly, although he believed that he would have called it “playful”. Nevertheless, when she was asked if she would ever consider playing her mother in a film, her response was clear: “No.”

Experienced actors like Jaya Bachchan were further pressed, who were already playing a maternal role with prominent stars, Mutz strongly replied, “This is Jaya’s decision.”

He said, “Tell Shahrukh that I will work with him if I can actually do so.

The actor also shared his interest in the role of Hollywood icon Jane Fonda in the demon, given how Fonda’s character retained his style and agency. “Her character did not want to accept a girl who was’Poor‘ (Poor). He had the freedom to see and wear his clothes. Whatever I would like, “he said.

Mumtaz was last seen in 1990 in the film ‘Anthehan’. The film also starred Shatrughan Sinha, Prosejit Chatterjee and Madhusree.
