Ratna Pathak Shah will be seen in a movie featuring Amitabh Bachchan. We are talking about ‘Aladin’ where she has a small, but important role to play.

When contacted, the lady in question confirmed her presence in the movie, “I play someone who is like a mother figure to Ritesh. Since he is a parentless boy, he is quite a loner and a shy boy. He trusts me though and there is a strong bond between us.”

In the past, Ratna hasn’t done too many movies, she confess, “I am quite selective about movies and the last one which I did was ‘Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’. Something special has to be there for me to be seen on the big screen. Along with ‘Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’, ‘Aladin’ was the only other film that really made me say ‘yes’”.

One has to agree. After all for an actor who has only done a handful of movies Ratna would indeed have found something extraordinary in ‘Aladin’.
