Madhuri Dixit may play Sonam's mom in Anil Kapoor's next
If all goes well, Madhuri Dixit will be soon seen in her comeback film, in Anil Kapoor's remake of Freaky Friday. Buzz is Madhuri will be essaying the role of Sonam Kapoor's mother in the film.
Anil was seeking an actress for the mother's role and had several names on his mind. Kirron Kher had refused citing date issues; other included Shabana Azmi and Rekha.
Anil Kapoor's new choice is Madhuri Dixit. Their friendship goes way back. A source close to the Kapoor revealed, "Anil Kapoor's next production remake of Hollywood flick Freaky Friday stars her daughter Sonam in the lead.
The movie plot revolves around daughter-mother relationship. Anil feels the dhak dhak girl is apt for the mother's role, due to her versatility as an actress."
The source adds, "Now that Madhuri has come down to India to be a part of a reality show, she was queued up with several scripts for films too.
Although one is not sure, whether she will agree to be part of this project, she did have a long meeting with Anil Kapoor when he approached her with the desi version of Freaky Friday.
Madhuri has liked the plot, but still needs to give her confirmation for doing the film. She is working out her dates."
Anil Kapoor 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."
