Veteran actor Paresh Rawal, actress-MP Mimi Chakraborty starrer Shastry Virudh Shastry, a Hindi remake of Bengali film Posto, was released in November last year.

In the video, which has been shared by Mimi on her Instagram profile, Rawal was heard saying, "Like crores of people, I have been a fan of Bengali art, culture and cinema. I have been fortunate enough to feature in the Hindi remake of Bengali film Posto where I got an opportunity to work with Mimi Chakraborty.

"What work she has delivered! It was a soulful, refined and layered performance. She did an absolutely dignified acting."

Shastry Virudh Shastry' captures how a seven-year-old kid, named Momoji, was caught in an emotional tussle between his grandparents (played by Paresh Rawal and Neena Kulkarni) and parents (played by Mimi Chakraborty and Shiv Pandit).

Following the tussle within the family, the plot enters into a courtroom drama where the grandparents and parents legally fight to determine who can have the moral claim over Momoji.

In the video, Rawal also wished that Mimi works more on Hindi films.

Earlier in an interview with IBNS, Mimi, who too worked in Posto, shared her experience of featuring alongside Rawal. "He (Paresh Rawal) is a gem of a person. It was very convenient to work with him. One can have a conversation with him. He is a very fun-loving person. We used to chat over a number of subjects and share various stories," she said.

On her way forward in Bollywood, the actress, who began her acting career on television in 2008, had said, "I want to feature in all good works. Moreover, it is to be analysed how much I am keen to do the kind of parts which are offered to me. It depends.

"But apart from that, it’s too early for me to comment. I will have to see what comes my way and it depends on what I want to do."

Mimi, a hugely popular star in the Bengali film industry, delivered the superhit project Raktabeej in October last year.

On January 5, her debut web series Jaha Bolibo Shotto Bolibo premiered on Hoichoi.
