Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sansar arrived during Rekha's 'respectable married woman' reinvention phase, deliberately pivoting from her vamp image after Silsila controversy.
Director Tatineni essentially remade his own Telugu hit 'Mundadugu' here, proving the 'suffering daughter-in-law' template crossed all language barriers in 80s Indian cinema.
