Vidya Balan and late Irrfan Khan’s film The Last Tenant, which did not see the light of day 25 years ago, has finally been released on YouTube.<\/p>\n
Vidya watched the film last night and could not resist revisiting the memories she created with Irrfan over two decades ago.<\/p>\n
In a post on Instagram, Vidya reflected on a difficult phase in her early career, a time marked by setbacks, shelved projects, and repeated replacements from films.<\/p>\n
“Watched The Last Tenant for the first time last night, since I shot for it 25 years ago. I shot for it, and then, for some reason, it didn’t see the light of day. This happened at a time when nothing I touched seemed to materialise. My first Malayalam film, Chakram, was shelved, following which I was replaced in almost a dozen films over a period of three years. To cut a long story short, like all the other things that didn’t work out at the time, I wanted to forget about it… so I did. I diligently shoved it under the carpet… until last week, when I received a text from director Sarthak Dasgupta informing me of its release on YouTube,” she shared.<\/p>\n
Vidya also recalled calling her sister the moment she learnt she would be sharing screen space with Irrfan Khan.<\/p>\n
“And then one vague memory popped up. I remembered calling my sister, @priyabalanecs, excitedly from the set to tell her that I was shooting with Irrfan Khan from Banegi Apni Baat. I thought he was the most natural actor then, and I felt the same way last night… never a false note or tone. And since Irrfan’s passing, I have rued the fact that a couple of films that would’ve had us play opposite each other didn’t materialise, for some reason or the other. But now I at least have The Last Tenant,” she penned.<\/p>\n
Written and directed by Sarthak Dasgupta and produced by Neena and Sarthak Dasgupta, the film has been released as a tribute to Irrfan Khan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vidya Balan and late Irrfan Khan’s film The Last Tenant, which did not see the light of day…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":437861,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[93,61,60,110387,270,189123,70463],"class_list":["post-437860","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-irrfan-khan","tag-movies","tag-the-last-tenant","tag-vidya-balan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=437860"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437860\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/437861"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=437860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=437860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=437860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
