India, Oct. 12 -- For Meenakshi Seshadri Mysore, Meri Jung is "undoubtedly one of the milestones" of her acting career. "The film has been an iconic addition to Bollywood commercial cinema, and even after 40 years, people continue to like it," she tells us. She was still new to films when this Hindi drama, which turns 40 today, came her way. "I was very new in the industry back then and had already done the film Hero (1983) with (director) Subhash Ghai," she says. Because of this connection, she "came on board later" for Meri Jung. Interestingly, her role was originally different. "The original script had the leading lady playing the role of a doctor who needs legal help in a poison case. However, the director wanted a glamorous lead, and so my character was sketched as the sister of the doctor, a role later played by (actor) Beena Banerjee." Anil Kapoor's character is the film's primary focus; he plays a man seeking revenge for his father's wrongful conviction. On the film being hero-centric, Meenakshi adds, "I knew from the very beginning that this was totally Anil's vehicle." Looking ahead, Meenakshi is reviewing several scripts across formats as she prepares to return to the screen. Last year, she recreated the track Jeet Jayenge Hum Tu Agar from the film along with actor Manjari Fadnis....
