Madhuri Dixit to play a mother role for Sonam Kapoor

IKLAN

If what we hear is true, Madhuri Dixit may soon playing the role of Sonam Kapoor’s mother in Anil Kapoor’s remake of the Hollywood film, Freaky Friday.

The role was previously offered to Shabhana Azmi, Rekha and Kirron Kher who had to turn it down due to date clashes. Since Anil has said that he would like to work with his former leading lady again, he felt that Madhuri suited the role perfectly. Although she likes the script, we are still waiting for confirmation on her part in the film which revolves around a mother and daughter who magically swap roles for a day.

Could this be Madhuri’s comeback from her previous comeback, Aaja Nachle?

Her secretary and previous manager, Rakesh Nath has said, “She has got four-five very good offers. She will definitely do another film soon, but this time we have to be very careful. I’ve worked with other actresses, but Madhuriji is Madhuriji.” However, we do know she is meeting him since she tweeted, “Meeting with Anil Kapoor today. Lets see what happens….”

When asked about his upcoming venture, Anil said, “It’s too early to comment on any of my new projects, but I would love to work with Madhuri in any capacity at any stage.”

Bollywood diva Madhuri Dixit is back in the thick of things shooting not only for the dance reality show ’Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa’ that brought her back to India this time, but also an endorsement for which she has apparently been paid an unheard-of price.

According to reliable sources, Madhuri and her old business manager Rakesh Nath (Rikku) have finalised at least three other endorsements that would keep the actress busy for a good part of January. When contacted Rikku, who has looked after Madhuri’s career from the start, admits Madhuri’s endorsement plans.

’She is at this very moment shooting for an endorsement campaign for Hindustan Lever product. Other endorsements are being finalised. Meetings are on,’ he said. The buzz in the film industry is that Madhuri is determined to make a comeback in movies.

Apparently Yash Raj Films, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Karan Johar and UTV have come up with tempting offers. Madhuri is on the verge of signing one of these. ’You’re right. She has got four-five very good offers. She will definitely do another film soon. But this time we have to be very careful. I’ve worked with other actresses, but Madhuriji is Madhuriji,’ said Nath.

The diva seems more than happy keeping busy at home away from her adopted home. ’I’m having a ball. I am so glad people have liked me on ’Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa’. I am enjoying this busy phase before the camera,’ said Madhuri who is married to US-based doctor Sriram Nene and has two sons with him. Her children are expected to join her this week for Christmas holidays. ’I can’t wait to see them,’ said Madhuri happily before rushing for her next shot.

Actress Madhuri is back once again

IKLAN

Bollywood’s dancing diva Madhuri Dixit has been an eye candy of millions of fans all over India as well as overseas but there was hardly anyone, who could impress the ‘dhak dhak’ girl with his charms. She has ruled the industry with her killing smile and dance beats.
The 43-year-old actress left Bollywood in 2002 following her marriage to the US based doctor Shriram Madhav Nene. Since then, the dancing queen made her appearance in the movies just once with Aditya Chopra’s Aaja Nachle in 2007.
Now, Madhuri is back once again in her home land Mumbai and is in all praise for Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor. She has landed quietly in Mumbai airport on Tuesday and is here for judging the dance based reality show ‘Jhalak Dikhla Jaa’. The Padma Shri winner actress seemed to be very impressed by the new talented boy of the industry. She keeps a close watch on the Bollywood films even when she is in US and managing her family. Ranbir’s achievements in these three years have been highly appreciated by Madhuri and she said that he must be proud of this.
She thinks Ranbir has achieved all these success on his own terms so he deserves to be appreciated.
Madhuri also seems to have liked Imran Khan and Priyanka Chopra for their performances. She has specifically praised Priyanka for her wonderful performance in Fashion.
Ranbir might have never actually boasted of his achievements but this adoration and appreciation from an actress like Madhuri Dixit is such a thing that he can really boast of!

Those who’ve been itching to see Madhuri Dixit’s marvellous dances may not have to wait long. The buzz in the industry is that the cine diva is being wooed by the organizers of the telly show Jhalak Dhikhhla Jaa to make a special appearance in the show’s upcoming fifth season.

Madhuri was last seen in the Bollywood musical Aaja Nachle which had her playing a US-returned dancer reviving her old and defunct dance school in a small town in India. The film, sadly, had come a cropper at box office, but Madhuri’s dance prowess had shone through.

To cash in on this Madhuri magic the makers of Jhalak Dhikhhla Jaa 5 have approached the actress to appear on the show and even dance on stage.

Negotiations are still going on as Madhuri lives in the US. However, we hear that the actress is interested in making her first appearance on an Indian television dance show.

India's first woman prime minister Indira Gandhis biopic in Bollywood

IKLAN

Asian-American filmmaker Krishna Shah is set to make a biopic on Indira Gandhi and has roped in Bollywood diva Madhuri Dixit to play the role of India’s first and only woman prime minister.

Titled "Mother: The Indira Gandhi Story", the film was announced on the late prime minister’s 92nd birth anniversary Thursday. The pre-production of the film has already been done. It will go on floors in mid 2010 and be shot in India, Britain, US and Russia.

"I have followed Indira Gandhi’s life through media, books and critics. It’s such an exciting and dramatic story. I want the future generation to know her story. A whole new generation has grown and matured since her assassination and through this film I hope to connect people with their history and legacy," Shah said in a press release.

Apart from Madhuri, Bollywood actors Dharmendra, Abhay Deol and Nana Patekar have been approached to play Motilal Nehru, Rajiv Gandhi and Jayaprakash Narayan respectively.

Hollywood star Tom Hanks is likely to be a part of the film as former US president Lyndon Baines Johnson. Tommy Lee Jones is also being approached for a pivotal role in the film.

"Mother: The Indira Gandhi Story" will be made in two parts.

While the first part will unfold the story from her birth to her emergence as "Maa Durga" (goddess of War) after her victory against Pakistan in the 1971 war, the second instalment will cover her political journey from the rise of her son Sanjay Gandhi to her assassination in 1984, Shah said.

Shah has been doing research for the project since two decades. He has read books on her, interviewed politicians, journalists, bureaucrats, writers, military men and her contemporaries to dig information.

The controversial song ‘Choli ke peechhey kya hai’, is now part of Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire. Says Rahman, “The song fitted the mood of the film. It represents the frenetic pace, the colour and the swirl that represents the early ‘90s. I have re-recorded it in the same two voices - Alka Yagnik and Ila Arun - though in a totally re-worked form.”

The song will feature in the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack when it releases in December. The soundtrack is being released on December 12,” adds Rahman.

AR Rahman is very happy about the international success of the film. “They released it on a small scale and are gradually increasing the prints. The success means something positive for Indian tourism. It has brought India onto the cultural map again.”

Besides the background score Rahman has done four songs in the film. “I’ve also collaborated with the rap artiste Maya. We co-wrote a song called ‘Oh saya’. She wrote the English lyrics. There’s also a version of Shankar Ehsaan Loy’s ‘Aaj ki raat’ in the soundtrack.”

Awarded the Padmashree, for her contribution to Indian cinema, Madhuri Dixit had a long list of people to thank.

"I feel elated. It’s wonderful. But i have a lot of people to thank. Right from my hair dressers, to the make up to the technicians, everybody has a share in this and i want to thank all of them today," says Madhuri.

CNN-IBN: Do you think Padmashree should have been bestowed on you much earlier, may be at the height of your career?

Madhuri Dixit: I don’t know. A lot of people ask me that. I believe that whenever I have worked in movies, it has been with all my heart and honesty. I have never really worked towards any awards. That has never been on my mind. Now that I am receiving this award, it is a great honour. I don’t care if it is late or early. I just appreciate that fact that I don’t live here anymore. I am in the US and people still think about me. They gave me this honour. I accept that very humbly.

Madhuri Dixit:he asked me what is Padma Shri

IKLAN

I have seen people rallying for awards but I have never been a part of this politics. But my husband is very proud of me. When I got the letter from India, he asked me what is Padma Shri. When I explained the honour, he was so awed!”

Madhuri goes on to reveal that as a kid, she had an absolutely different list of must-dos. “Even as a kid, I talked of growing up and having kids as I love children. I used to tell my mother that I want to have 12 kids. But after two, I just gave up the idea,” she laughs. Mother of five-year-old Arin and three-year-old Ryan, the actress says her kids make her feel beautiful. “When I was carrying Arin, I was nervous, apprehensive and very happy. But the first time I held him in my arms, it all felt so worth it.”

And how do they take to their mommy’s return to films and her work? “Some time back, when we had gone to Siddhivinayak Temple, I thought both my sons would be scared of the shutterbugs. But they loved the importance they got! You should have seen them pose,” she laughs. “Whenever Arin saw action and sad stuff in a movie, he would ask me, ‘why did that man kill that lady, she was nice?’ I would tell him that it is all pretence. This is not for real. So when he got to know that I am an actress by profession, he asked me, ‘are you my real mother?’ I laughed for a while and said, ‘yes I am your real mother!’”
