Sarina Wahab is back

One of the leading actresses of the eighties, Sarina Wahab, is back to Malayalam cinema after keeping away from the industry for the last 23 years. She will make a comeback to Mollywood through the movie 'Calender' directed by actor Mahesh.
The movie will present her as Thankam George, a professor who became a widow at the age of 23 years. Her only daughter Kochurani is what forced her to live the whole lane of loneliness. The movie which tells the intense story of the bonding between a mother and her only daughter will have Navya playing Kochu Rani.
Sarina Wahab was approached for the role after Sumalatha who was originally planned to be in the character, turned down the offer. Then the crew almost finalized Rohini for the role, but later settled upon Zarina as a better choice.
Zarina Wahab who was a key figure in many hits of the eighties, became famous for her roles in the films like Madanotsavam and Chamaram. She was last seen in Mollywood in the Priyadarshan movie 'Punnaram cholli cholli’, which came out in 1985.
