In 1973, Shabana Azmi graduated from the FTII and joined Khwaja Ahmad Abbas’ Faasla, as well as Kanti Lal Rathod’s Parinay. Shyam Benegal’s directorial debut, Ankur, was her maiden release (1974). Ankur is a neo-realistic film that belongs to the art-house genre. It is based on a genuine tale that happened in Hyderabad.
