Madhuri Dixit will make her comeback in movie very soon – the film industry has been predicting it since the actress did her first stage show, after a long hibernation, at 51st Annual Filmfare Awards in Mumbai last year.
Only rumours evolved one after another and dissolved like air bubbles.
The gossipmongers are still very busy spreading spicy rumours about the 'Dhak Dhak' gal's long-awaited comeback.
Here we will focus on such several rumours. Stay tuned.
There was rumour that Madhuri's in talks with filmmaker Shaji Karun for a film to be made on painter Raja Ravi Varma's life.
She would play Ravi Varma's muse Sugunabai in the film. It was supposed to be her comeback movie.
But it didn't happen; Madhuri turned down the film because it has a nude scene and she has strong reservation doing naked scene.
If the rumours to be believed, Vidya Balan has agreed to do the role, however no official confirmation has come yet.
Madhuri, who after marriage has shifted her base to Colorado in US, wants the film to be shot entirely in US only.
She is now mother of two children and busy looking after them.
There was rumour that Yash Raj Films has agreed to shoot an entire film in US if Madhuri gives her nod.
As usual the rumormongers went on claiming that this Yash Raj film would be Madhuri's comeback flick and that too opposite Shah Rukh Khan.
As per latest, Madhuri has turned down this Yash Raj film also.
Rumours say Madhuri backed out of the film at the last moment because of Vidya Balan.
Vidya will play another lead in the film and Madhuri thought Vidya, who has a very close relationship with its director Pradeep Sarkar will get more focus than her.
Recently we came to know, Rani Mukherji has stepped into Madhuri's shoes.
And not Shah Rukh, Saif Ali Khan will play the hero in the film.
Amidst all speculations, couple of weeks ago, a filmy tabloid sprang surprise with a report saying actor Salman Khan will be paired up with Madhuri in her comeback film.
But who will direct the movie or who will be the producer – the tabloid left its readers just guessing whatever they can.
Thank god, the rumour was dumped by the rumormongers itself.
And the latest rumour is, neither Yash Chopra and nor Ratan Jain, Madhuri is making her comeback in her business manager Rikku Rakeshnath's film.
The rumour also quoted Madhuri as dismissing reports that she has signed Yash Chopra's next.
As per the rumour Rikku decided to launch his own production house on Madhuri's insistence only.
And Madhuri will be acting in one of its films.
