Veteran actress and social activist Shabana Azmi wants a revival of "Tumhari Amrita" - a play that also featured late actor Farooque Sheikh and premiered over two decades ago.
"Tumhari Amrita" is a play helmed by Feroz Abbas Khan and she says she is persuading the director to revive it.
"I'm persuading Feroz Khan to revive 'Tumhari Amrita' with a fresh cast. Any ideas on who shud replace Farouque Shaikh and me as Zulfi/ Amrita?," Shabana posted on Twitter Tuesday.
Inspired by A.R. Guerney's "Love Letters", "Tumhari Amrita" is a funny, poignant, melancholic chronicle of two people would not come together and could not stay apart.
The play ran for 21 years until Farooque's untimely death in December 2013.
