^Dhanagare, Shridhar [@SDhanagare] (21 February 2020). "@AneetaRadoja Shalimar was based on the book by Manohar Malgaonkar adapted by Krishna Shah. The Great Gambler was also based on a Bengali novel by Vikramaditya. That's why they were scripted well. Both the roles Suited Zeenat Aman and she did them extremely well (both having a twist) https://t.co/8NkZRYenhg" (Tweet). Archived from the original on 21 February 2020.
