Urmila Matondkar to play a super-glamorous 50-plus woman


Actress Urmila Matondkar will play a super-glamorous 50-plus woman who lives in isolated splendour in a castle, wears the most stunning clothes and plays out life queen-size in a remake of the 1980 blockbuster “Karz”.

She will be riding horses, flying planes and gambling the night away in casinos.

Says Urmila: “The character will be an ageless diva. A very stylish and super-exclusive heiress and her clothes and demeanour will reflect a kind of inherent glamour.”

Urmila’s favourite costume designer Manish Malhotra is working on her clothes that will reflect the character’s diva-like splendour. A budget of several crores of rupees has been set aside for the wardrobe.

Manish Malhotra has been asked to design some of the most elaborate and expensive clothes ever worn by an actress for any part. “Manish and I have collaborated on numerous films. But this one will be something else,” laughs Urmila.

Director Satish Kaushik says Urmila in “Karz” will be the epitome of a glamorous high-flying existence. “She will be a 50-plus woman, who will ride horses, fly planes and gamble the night away in casinos. She will be living the high life at the highest level,” Kaushik said.

  1. Urmila Matondkar had acted in experimental roles for the last 15 years. Btu the viewers remember her more in scary characters created by Ram Gopal Verma. She acted as a child artist in Masoom, in 1983.
