One legend says thats Sardar Patel was in court defending his client when he received a note informing him about his wife's demise. He was visibly disturbed. Any other person would have asked the court to postpone the proceedings and leave at the earliest. However, he had a will of iron. He stayed back and left only after the hearing was over. Impressive is an understatement.
The character of Sardar Patel was played by a very capable Paresh Rawal in movie 'Sardar' made by Ketan Mehta. Rawal shot to acclaim just like Anupam Kher did with Saraansh. The movie beautifully depicts the insecurities and reservations of a politician as well as his large heartedness for a greater cause. How he had second thoughts on Nehru as a national leader but readily gave up his claim in favor of a younger leader. His handling of Princely states like Junagadh and Hyderabad was also shown.
Cut to 2011. Paresh Rawal was shooting for Ready. He got a news. His mother expired. A difficult moment. Next flight to Mumbai was in night and he had no other option but to stay. What you would have done? Waited for the flight in Vanity Van? Paresh Rawal acted. He went onto the sets and completed the scenes. This is showmanship... no matter what comes, the show must go on.
Ready was not one of Rawal's best performances. Its difficult to wipe out Brahmanand's brilliant act in the Telugu version. But given the trauma he went through... Hats Off...
