- Zeenat Aman shared a vintage video clip from the 1978 film Don on Instagram
- She described difficulty pushing Amitabh Bachchan's wheelchair during a key scene
- Zeenat Aman praised her character Roma as smart, daring, and smooth
Zeenat Aman as Roma in Chandra Barot's Don is one of her most iconic characters ever. However, what looked seamless on screen might not have been the case in a particular scene where she had to push Amitabh Bachchan- who played the titular character- on a wheelchair.
Her Post
Taking to Instagram and sharing a snippet of the scene in question, Zeenat Aman wrote, "I presume there's such a thing as vintage video Wednesday? Yes, this is THAT scene from (the original 1978) Don - Roma, ever enterprising and daring, dupes the police and escapes with an unconscious Don from a hospital room."
The post continued, "Now I had already worked with many of the cast and crew in previous productions, so I was at complete ease through the making of the film. I also relished Roma's character. She was smart, daring, and smooth. Who wouldn't want to embody such a woman! Unfortunately, being smooth on set that day wasn't easy! Why, you ask? Because that relic of a wheelchair, with Mr Bachchan's dead weight to boot, was awfully difficult to manoeuvre. I had to keep my poker face for the part, while actually pushing with all my might!"
"I would be quite keen to watch another reboot of Don, as I very much enjoyed the last one too. What do you think?" she concluded.
About Don
Don features Amitabh Bachchan in dual roles - Don and Vijay - alongside Zeenat Aman as Roma, Pran as Jasjit, Iftekhar as DSP D'Silva, and Om Shivpuri as Vardhaan. The cast also includes Satyen Kappu, P. Jairaj, Kamal Kapoor, Arpana Choudhary, and Helen.
The film follows the story of a wanted criminal named Don. During a chase, Don dies, but only one police officer knows the truth. To catch the rest of Don's gang, the officer recruits a simple man named Vijay who happens to look exactly like Don.
