Hema talks about films in theatres
Speaking to PTI, Hema said, “Films on the (big) screen are very different, which we are used to. I’m used to that kind of films… the big screen. So, this OTT and web series are all nice for time pass, but I don’t know how wonderful it is. That’s why when Gadar 2 and Pathaan and all came on the big screen, they were all a hit. People love to see the big screen, which is different from the small screen.”
Shah Rukh Khan‘s Pathaan, released in January this year, is an action thriller film directed by Siddharth Anand. Sunny Deol‘s Gadar 2, which hit the theatres on August 11, has been helmed by Anil Sharma.

Speaking about working with Amitabh, she wished that they had done many more films together after Baghban. She added that ‘unfortunately, it did not happen. Maybe one has to remember only Baghban’. Hema also added that it was wonderful working with Amitabh. Recalling how she did the film after a gap of a few years, she added that she was a little hesitant, but still went ahead with it.
Hema and Amitabh’s films so far
