The film is said to be based on Hindi writer Premchand’s short story of the same name. The 65-year-old actress posted on Twitter a close-up of herself in traditional headgear, sans makeup.
The photo was accompanied with a caption. “Hi tweepies Please let me know your reactions to this look for my new film.”
The photo garnered reactions from Rishi Kapoor, Sunidhi Chauhan, Rohit Roy and fans.
Shahbana thanked her fans for the positive response and mentioned which movie the look is for.
“Tweepies thank you so much for your responses to my look in #Piyush Panjuani’s ‘Idgah’. I move ahead secure in the knowledge of your approval,” she wrote.
The actress’ last venture was “Neerja”, as the eponymous character’s mother.
