There is no doubt that R.K gets affected by Madhu...by her indifference and by her memories.
Then is it not very smart of him to make madhu act opposite him as a body double or
in future may be as his heroine...this way he can hide his true feelings of concern,love,
affections,and tenderness towards her in between action and pack ups there by safe guarding his ego without having to run the risk of it getting punctured...This also gives him the added advantage of humiliating madhu again and again...MB would have to go through this process of feeling his Love and responding to it but,only to have to break this dream with a shout of 'Cut it' from the director...she would be living his betrayal again and again...For R.K, if Madhu is not breaking she is not moving on in her life either...What a painful and heart-wrenchingly addictive this story is going to be...
R.K is already addicted to his need to gain control of Madhubala...I first noticed this trait in him during that Party night...even mentioned somewhere in the ED thread back then...That night When MB comes out...lights focus on her face..the look on her face was that of a frightened lamb,knowing well that she is the scape-goat,getting down the stairs as if she was going to her slaughter place...vulnerable to the extent of hoping compassion from her executioner,relying on him to protect her...that vulnerability in Madhu's eyes gave R.K immense satisfaction...the satisfaction of having gained control on his wild horse...and hence reaches out to her and presents her proudly to his guests just like a horseman prides over his prized,possessed and controlled wild horse...but,its astonishing to see and realize that things haven't changed much in this aspect since that day...his inflated ego and need of control still rule over his heart...With his every failure to break Madhu R.K's determination,fixation and madness to succeed in it seems to be multiplying...Its pity to see that however strong his Love has grown towards MB it still seems to be falling short in front of his madness of 'breaking madhu'
