Madhuri not afraid of a flop, will sign another
The dhak dhak girl of Bollywood is proud of her comeback movie 'Aaja Nachle' and isn't afraid of failures. She confesses that her latest movie is woman-centric, and there is no hero in it, but contests the remark that she is the movie's hero. However, in the same breath she admits, "I'm the female protagonist". When told that the movie was written keeping her profile in view she quips, "The thought made my legs shake and (believe it) not because I was dancing". Initially, she was hesitant to say yes to film director Aditya Chopra as she wondered if the viewers would like to watch her. Since he looked at her very strangely and said, "Don't worry about that" she heaved a sigh of relief. What's the theme of her movie? She gives her mind and says, "Every time I visit Mumbai I find it more westernized. However, I wish them to imbibe the best of foreign influences but without losing our culture? In the US, we see families more Indian than in India", she continues with a heavy heart, perhaps. Is the movie trying to give this message? Yes, 'Aaja Nachle' addresses this question. But, without preaching."
How could she manage to dance so well in the movie? Was she practicing in the US? She says that she had no time to spare for dance in the US as she was first carrying and later caring for her children. So, she was afraid of disappointing her fans as she had not come on the screen since her 'Devdas'. But, the response from the media as well as the viewers has been quite encouraging, she adds. Then, how did she dance non-stop in 'Aaja Nachle'? The ever-smiling actress is amused and says, "It just comes naturally to me. Besides, 'Aaja Nachle' I had to warn my fan-cum-choreographer Vaibhavi not to feel nervous of me and do her job." How come she turned social to dance with her co-stars in this movie? "All my co-stars comprising Vinay Pathak, Kunal Kapoor, Konkona Sen Sharma and Irrfan Khan - are wonderful actors. I had watched a bit of their work. Soon, we were laughing and having a ball."
Incidentally, Madhuri's comeback has prompted Boney Kapoor to encourage his wife Sridevi to follow in the footsteps of Madhuri, her one time rival in the industry. When Boney asked has confirmed Sridevi's comeback soon. Boney, however, doesn't find Madhuri as rival to his wife. After all, his brother Anil Kapoor has done his best movies with Madhuri and was known as the hit pair of that time. Interestingly, another Kapoor Ranbir son of Rishi Kapoor who began career with his recently released 'Saawariyaan' has said that he been a fan of Madhuri since he was aged six. He considers Madhuri as his idol. Ranbir is too excited with the comeback of Madhuri on the screen.
Another great news for Madhuri's fans is that she is going to sign another movie under the banner of Yashraj Films. She has already seen the script and very soon though early next year she might start shooting of the new movie. But, Madhuri has made it very clear that she would shoot only during her children's vacation.
