‘Basera’ (1981) was produced by Ramesh Behl under his banner, Rose Movies and was directed by Ramesh Talwar. The cast included Shashi Kapoor, Rakhee, Rekha, Poonam Dhillon, Raj Kiran, Iftekhar, A K Hangal, Sudha Chopra etc. The film was based on a Marathi novel written by Leela Phansalkar. In fact, Ramesh Talwar has directed IPTA play, Tanhaai’ (1971) based on this novel. It was decided to convert his IPTA play into the film, ‘Basera’ (1981).
The film is about two sisters who are wedded to the same man by a twist of fate. In an interview published in ‘Filmfare’, April 22, 2016, Ramesh Talwar had revealed that for the roles of two sisters, he had already finalised Rakhee. He told Rakhee that if she accepted the role of the younger sister, he would take Nutan for the role of elder sister. However, Rakhee preferred the elder sister’s role and suggested Rekha’s name for the younger sister’s role. After the separation of Rakhee and Gulzar, this was the first film with Rakhee in which Gulzar got associated as the screenplay, dialogues and song writer. Interestingly, Rekha, apart from her role as the second wife of Shashi Kapoor is also in the role of Raj Kiran’s mother, who in reality, is elder to her by 5 years.
