It felt like I had dressed up in my mother’s clothes and played her in a grown-up way,” the actress shares. It was like reliving a part of my own history… as if I’d dressed up in my mother’s clothes and played her in a grown-up way. If I have my way,  I will wear the nauvari (traditional Maharashtrian way of draping a sari) on a red carpet someday. The sari has a certain body language.” Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior is scheduled to hit theatres on 10 January, 2020. Check out the trailer of Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior
