Kamal Sadanah's career has seen 3 decades in Bollywood, and believe it or not, he got one of the best and most challenging roles after 30 years in the industry.
Raja Menon's latest flick, Pippa, is based on the 1971 War and Bangladesh's birth, and as we know, Sam Manekshaw played a big role in this war. Even though Pippa is the story of Balram Mehta and his family, it is incomplete without Sam Manekshaw's contribution. But who would play this tough role, which required a strong physical and facial resemblance to Manekshaw? There comes the only choice "Kamal Sadanah".Vicky Kaushal will soon be portraying the chief of the army and field marshal in the upcoming biographical Sam Bahadur. We were ready for it, but then Kamal's Sam came as a pleasant surprise. "I have a plan," he says with confidence, and we know it's our Sam alright.Kamal Sadanah's body language, looks, get-up—everything is utterly perfect if we have to consider a reel version of Sam Manekshaw. In Pippa, we see his glimpse and believe that yes, we have a perfect cast member for this legendary role, which no other actor could have played at this age. Cheers to Manekshaw's legacy, and cheers to Kamal's performance, which kept the legacy alive.
