In the Mad house
Madhuri Dixit will play a comic role in Meghna Gulzar's 36-24-36. Meghna's ready to shoot in the US to accommodate Mads
Last we heard her say that she hasn't signed any film after her comeback film, Aaja Nachle. But here's the latest on Madhuri Dixit. She is all set to play an out-and-out comic role for the first time in her career in Meghna Gulzar's film titled 36-24-36. The film will be produced by Pritish Nandy Communications.
When contacted, director Meghna confirmed the news. She told Mumbai Mirror, "Yes, it's true that we are in talks with Madhuri to play the protagonist in a comedy film. But it's too early to discuss anything right now."
On being probed further, she added "Madhuri's character in my film is very different from what she's ever done so far." Meghna met the actress and narrated the script to her when she was in India recently. "I was happy to watch Madhuri laughing as I narrated the script to her. She loved the script and showed a keen interest in doing it," she said.
So what is it that prompted Meghna to approach Madhuri? "She'll be fabulous for the role as it's something that we have never seen her do before. We're waiting to work out the dates," said Meghna.
And what about the interesting title? Meghna laughed and said, "The film is obviously about measurements and weight loss. Not that I think Madhuri's out of shape. But she will do complete justice to the character. And she too said that it's something she'd definitely like to do."
As Pritish Nandy Communications and Meghna are well aware of the constraints that the actress has, they are willing to make all the necessary arrangements so that she doesn't face any trouble while shooting for the film. Meghna added, "We obviously approached her knowing that she would have problems staying away from her family and home for a long time. Right now she is busy with the tour (The Unforgettable). She's figuring out how she'll manage her children and family while shooting for my film."
But that's something Pritish Nandy has kept in mind and if need be, the film will be shot in the US so that Madhuri will not have to stay away from home for too long. "Madhuri hasn't laid any conditions but PNC and I are aware of her situation and will work out the logistics accordingly," said Meghna.
