Veteran thespian Manorama will be making her presence felt in Bollywood after a gap of 37 years. She was last seen playing the female lead in Kunwara Baap. Reportedly she has agreed to be a part of Rohit Shetty’s Chennai express which has Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone playing the lead roles. Manorama would be supposedly playing Deepika’s aunt in the movie. Chennai Express is speculated to be based on Chetan Bhagath’s Two States and Deepika would be playing a Tamilian.

Manorama has been taking it lightly on the work front to look after her health. She has reportedly turned down few offers due to health reasons. In Tamil, she is a part of Hari’s Singam 2, which has Suriya, Prithviraj, Anushka Shetty and Hansika Motwanu playing the lead roles.
