The bold and the beautiful

Jimmy Sheirgill and Mahi Gill tell City Times about their third outing in Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster 3; while Chitrangada Singh opens up about why she took a sabbatical from Bollywood

JIMMY SHEIRGILL SeemS to be attracting quite a lot of Bollywood franchises to his kitty, starting out with the Munna Bhai series, Tanu Weds Manu, Happy Bhaag Jayengi (the sequel will release on August 24) and now he is back with the dark and sinister series Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster. Directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia, Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster 3 features Sheirgill alongside Sanjay Dutt, Mahi Gill, Chitrangadha Singh and Soha Ali Khan.

In the first film, we got to see the Saheb (played by Jimmy Sheirgill) struggling with financial woes. His attraction towards his mistress causes the biwi (Mahi Gill who plays Saheb’s wife, Madhavi Devi) distress. As time passes by, Madhavi becomes romantically involved with her driver Babloo (Randeep Hooda), who has been appointed by the rival party to murder Saheb. In the climax of the film, even though Babloo succeeds in shooting Saheb, the latter survives. The film concludes with Madhavi, appointing a new driver.

In Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster Returns we get to see the ailing Saheb who is blinded by thoughts of taking revenge on his wife, who has now become a minister. Irrfan Khan plays the ‘Gangster’ and Soha Ali Khan plays Saheb’s love interest, Ranjana. The third film promises a colourful platter of all sorts of emotions – deceit, conspiracy, lust and more.

City Times caught up with the cast over the phone ahead of the movie’s release today.
