‘Maatr’ and ‘MOM’ should not be compared, says Raveena Tandon

Actress Raveena Tandon who will be seen in the hard-hitting movie ‘Maatr’, recently spoke about comparisons with Sridevi’s upcoming movie ‘MOM’. When the makers of ‘Maatr’ had unveiled the poster, once could not avoid noticing the similarity it had with Sridevi’s ‘Mom’ poster which was released earlier. So, that started a round of comparisons between the two movies. (Also Read: Raveena Tandon on Salman Khan: He was always there for me when I needed him)

Now, Raveena has opened up on these comparisons with a leading agency as she says, “She is a senior, I respect her a lot and I’ve always been the biggest fan of hers. I am proud that, whether it’s ‘PINK’, ‘Mom’ or ‘Maatr’, our industry is making these films today. I hope such films are made more. So, there is no comparison. I feel a message like this should be given at least six months a year to wake up people.”

She also spoke about her comeback, “I find that a very strange term. Nobody uses it internationally. Everyone becomes selective after a while. I worked in the ’90s where we used to do 30 films at a time. But the whole trend has changed. As an actor, I’ve reached a point where I’ll do a film which I believe in. I did a couple of films in the middle which went to festivals, I completed Onir’s ‘Shab’. I don’t see myself going anywhere. I’ve been working on TV all along. After I have done ‘Maatr’ and ‘Shab’, I don’t know when I’ll do a film again. How many times will I make a come back.”

‘Maatr’ is directed by Ashtar Sayed and written by Michael Pellico. It is slated to release on April 21, 2017.
