Popular actress Shabana could not be the mother of late hero Manna despite her desire. The legendary actress was supposed to act in Manna starrer 'Amazon' released in 1999.
She also removed himself from the film saying that she would give a schedule to the producer Kazi Hayat. Talking about the story behind 'Amazon', Kazi Hayat said that Shabana listened to the story in the makeup room on the eighth floor of the FDC.
She cried when he heard the story. She immediately told me to come the next day and take his schedule. I said, I will come with signing money the next day. The next day I went to him in time with two lakh rupees.
But after seeing me, Shabana left me without speaking. Then came the break in the afternoon shooting and she said he can't do the film.
The reason, she said, was that the heroes she was working against at the time did not want Shabana to play Manna's mother. Actress Shabnam later played the role of 'Amazon' in this film.
