A day before mom Tanuja‘s birthday, Tanishaa Mukerji posted rare pictures of the 76-year-old actress from her 1976 Gujarati film Malavpati Munj. Tanuja co-starred with actor-filmmaker Upendra Trivedi in the film, directed by Ravindra Dave. The film was an adaptation of KM Munshi’s novel Prithvi Vallabh.
