Urmila Matondkar was overwhelmed by the adulation she received in Varanasi during the shoot of one of her films there.
Urmila was in the UP’s holy city shooting for Pankaj Parashar’s aptly titled film ‘Varanasi’. And her fans there showed enormous adulation and admiration for her.
“I've been to non-metropolitan towns for shooting. But nowhere have I witnessed such a mass of fans. Wherever I went there were people flocking for attention. It was amazing!” Urmila is quoted by IANS.
For Urmila, shooting in Varanasi is a welcome change as she had been in London for quite some time working in a movie called Naina.
“From London to Varanasi is quite a long way. But it's a journey worth taking. There's so much to learn from the cultural differences among people all over,” Urmila told the agency.
Urmila will return to Varanasi in the coming weeks for another spell of shooting. This time she'll be pitched against a formidable cast of actors, including Naseeruddin Shah , Dimple Kapadia and Raj Babbar.
“I love the idea of being part of an interesting ensemble cast such as this where every character creates a space and distance,” Urmila said.
Urmila’s co-star in ‘Varanasi’ is the relative newcomer Ashmit Patel .
