Now that she's back to Bollywood, Madhuri Dixit has realised that things have changed a lot since she left. For instance, the actress finds it uncomfortable while shooting sync sound for her comeback film Aaja Naachley as this technology is alien to her.
"I am still getting used to it," says Madhuri Dixit. The actress has been part of the industry for almost two decades but in her time, the concept of sync sound was still not so common. "When Anilji (Mehta) explained that the film would be shot sync sound, I felt as though I had been away forever. Bollywood has become very technology savvy. In that sense, it is an advantage to work with a producer like Yashji as he's always up-to-date," she says.
For Madhuri it is an entirely new experience altogether, one that leaves the seasoned actress ill-at-ease. "It was a different experience for me. Earlier, studios would be full of noise. From the irritating sound of the camera to technicians chit-chatting, I was comfortable with all sorts of disturbances. In fact, it used to work really well for me because I could concentrate 100 per cent on my facial expressions, knowing that I could dub later. But now it's a different story. Now there's complete silence and I have to be very conscious about both aspects of acting, expressions and lines, during a shot," she explains.
In fact, Madhuri says it feels strange to hear her own voice during shooting. "It was really funny to hear my own voice on the sets. I became slightly conscious. Younger actors like Konkona and Kunal Kapoor are really good with all these techniques. Frankly speaking, I am enjoying every bit of the shooting because the process of filmmaking has become so refined," she admits.
Madhuri says that she's very eager to get in sync with the concept of sync sound. And that is why she also keeps her kids away from the shooting zone as they don't understand the technical limitations of shooting in sync sound. "They have a play station installed inside the studio and I allow them to enter the sets only when I am doing a song sequence," she says.
