Kamal Haasan’s iconic film Hey Ram (2000) has apparently got an Aparna Sen connection to it. The film was made simultaneously in Tamil and Hindi, and featured Rani Mukerji as Kamal Haasan’s Bengali wife. The character was reportedly named after the veteran Bengali actress and filmmaker Aparna Sen- a fact that was revealed recently by Kamal Haasan’s daughter, actress Shruti Haasan. While promoting her recently released film Coolie, Shurti Haasan revealed to Sathyaraj that her father had even learnt Bengali to impress Aparna Sen.&nbsp;<h2>Kamal Haasan learnt Bengali for Aparna Sen</h2>Shruti and Sathyaraj were discussing Kamal’s dedication to his craft when it came up that he learnt Bengali work in Hey Ram. Sathyaraj also pointed out that, like her father, Shruti knew multiple languages. In response, Shruti stated that Kamal took up learning the language out of admiration for Aparna.

She said, “No, no. Do you know why he learnt Bengali? Because at that time, he was in love with Aparna Sen. He learnt Bengali to impress her, he did not learn it for films,” with a chuckle. Delving more, Shruti also mentioned that Kamal was so enamoured by her, he even named Rani after her in Hey Ram. “Even in Hey Ram, Rani Mukerji is named Aparna after her,” added Shruti.&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/coolie-review-rajinikanth-and-lokesh-combo-is-a-mid-rehash-of-vikram-1755159637449">Coolie movie review: Rajinikanth and Lokesh combo is a mid rehash of Vikram</a><h2>About Aparna Sen</h2>Aparna Sen is considered a stalwart in Bengali cinema.
