"I don't feel I've ever left": Sameera Reddy on comeback to films, Namashi Chakraborty recalls advice from father Mithun Chakraborty

Sameera Reddy says she never left films; Namashi Chakraborty recalls father Mithun's advice on honesty. Sanjay Dutt's 'Aakhri Sawal' premieres in Delhi.

"When you're an actor, you're always an actor. Today, things have become more hectic. - Sameera Reddy"

New Delhi, May 13

The national capital witnessed a star-studded evening on Wednesday, as the premiere of Sanjay Dutt starrer 'Aakhri Sawal' was held here amid the presence of actors, political dignitaries and members of the film fraternity.

Actors Namashi Chakraborty, Sameera Reddy, Tridha Choudhary, and Neetu Chandra marked their presence at the special screening and interacted with guests and media at the venue.

The cast appeared enthusiastic as audiences in Delhi geared up to witness the much-discussed film.

Adding prominence to the evening, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta also attended the premiere.

Actress Sameera Reddy, who plays a key character as Pallavi Menon, spoke to ANI about her experience sharing the screen with longtime friend, actor Sanjay Dutt.

"In the film, I lock horns with Sanjay Dutt and trouble him a lot. I had a lot of fun because we're good friends. Putting aside all the fun stuff, it's a very good and well-made entertaining film on facts. It's not making an opinion for you but just giving out facts," Sameera said.

She also opened up about making a comeback into acting, sharing that she never felt like being away from the industry.

"When you're an actor, I don't know if you've ever left. I've been so active on Instagram and social media. People enjoy it. I do comedy. I don't feel I've ever left, really. When you're an actor, you're always an actor. Today, things have become more hectic," she said.

Actor Namashi Chakraborty urged the audience to watch his film 'Aakhri Sawal' before forming opinions or describing it as "propaganda."

"Everyone has their own point of view. But no one should call the film propaganda without watching it. The film teaches how to form your own opinion. It's not only important to ask questions, but also to listen to answers," Namashi shared.

He also spoke about his father, the veteran Mithun Chakraborty, who advised him to follow the path of honesty and hard work.

"My father would always tell me that whether it is in films or acting, it should be done with honesty and hard work," he said.

Actor Tridha Choudhary explained that the youth must watch 'Aakhri Sawal'.

"I'm speaking on behalf of the youth of India, and the youth need to watch our film. There is a lot that our history has always taught us. It's better to see it unfold through our films," she shared.

Directed by the National Film Awardee Abhijeet Mohan Warang, the film 'Aakhri Sawal' stars Sanjay Dutt, Sameera Reddy, Amit Sadh, Namashi Chakraborty and Neetu Chandra in the lead role.

'Aakhri Sawal' is scheduled to release in cinemas on May 15, in Hindi, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.

Interesting to see the Delhi CM at a film premiere. I guess politics and Bollywood always have a close relationship in India! But seriously, sounds like a thought-provoking film—about questioning facts and forming your own opinion. We need more of that these days. Hope it does well in multiple languages!

Namashi Chakraborty is right—don't call it propaganda without watching. That's the problem with people today, they form opinions based on headlines. I'm curious about this film actually, Sanjay Dutt usually picks commercial entertainers but this seems different. And Sameera Reddy's return is a bonus. Let's give it a chance.

Tridha Choudhary saying the youth need to watch this—yes! Our history is so rich, but often we don't know the full story. I appreciate that the film is releasing in Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam—reach out to everyone. Fingers crossed it's not just a lecture but an engaging movie. 🤞

I admire Namashi trying to make his own path despite being Mithun's son. That's tough in Bollywood—expectations are sky-high. But Mithun da's advice about honesty and hard work is universal. Hope this film does well for him and the whole cast. Sameera Reddy's perspective on never really leaving—true, once an actor always an actor.
