Ek, do, teen, char …. That's why the Hindi-language audience did not see Madhuri Dixit Nene on the big screen. "Yeah, my last version was Gulaab Gang," she said with a smile and a shrug. And for the fans, Christmas is fast approaching! The actress has two releases in quick succession. The crazy comedy Indra Kumar Total Dhamaal brings together Madhuri and Anil Kapoor. The franchise film is also performed by Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh and Arshad Warsi. In April, we will see Madhuri in the drama of the period Abhishek Varman Kalank alongside Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt. As if that were not enough, she produced a Marathi movie for Netflix that will be released this year and a pop album is underway.
The Telegraph recently met the actress as she was promoting her first release Total Dhamaa at the Sun-n-Sand Hotel in Juhu, Mumbai. We talked with the beautiful actress about the idea of reworking with Anil Kapoor, the pop album and putting herself in Sridevi's shoes.
Was this mini-break in Hindi movies a conscious decision?
Well, it's sort of happened. I also wanted to produce my own film, a Marathi film we were working on. I have a website and an app, Dance with Madhuri, on which we were also working at the time. I also did a season of Dance Deewane . Then I came across Induji's film (director Indra Kumar), Total Dhamaal, and I thought it would be a great opportunity to let myself be disheveled and do some sort of overflowing comedy. a total boiler, commercial film in Hindi with dances and songs and works. It's very funny and it's a family film that will appeal to children as well as grandmothers and grandfathers. Plus, it's me and Anilji after a long time, me and Induji after a long time.
How was he to shoot with Anil after more than two decades?
We started with a song from this movie. It was great to be on the set, dressed in these pretty clothes, and we all seemed to dapper and scream that figure, Paisa Yeh Paisa. The first scene we made was in a car, where we travel and where all these relationships take place. He plays a guy from Gujarati and I am a Maharashtrian girl, disagreeing with others. Until now, people only saw us in roles full of love, but we share it with each scene. I thought it was also very nice and it just highlighted the fun.
Did he change the co-star you knew at the time?
Everyone changes a little having to change over time. Suddenly, he's very clever on the Net and all, but he's the same guy I've known for years. And I do not think I have changed much either, I am the same person. It was so charming and it was as if those years had not pbaded at all. We just picked up where we left off. Even with Induji, it was the equation. I made three films with him and we had very good relationships as an artist with a director. When we arrived on the plateau, we picked it up.
You have worked a lot with Anil and Induji.
The three films with Induji were fabulous, as Dil, Beta and Raja – no one could have asked the question. for something better. But I think I liked it the most to do beta, not only because of Anil, but also for the scenes that I made with Aruna Irani. The dramatic scenes were fabulous in the film. And then, I enjoyed Raja because it gave me the opportunity to perform top level comic scenes. I felt very liberated when I did this, because I had nothing to do to play this character. I just had to go to the maximum and drop it there. This film brought back those memories.
You do comedy after a long time. Does it require a different active muscle to be this OTT?
(laughs) This requires you to be in a different area, and it is important that what you say is well written, so that he has the punch. Of course, your approach is important. These two things go together for the success of a good comic film. Of course, it's not a subtle comedy – it's a grimace, so it was very fun to be released. In real life, I am calm and cool, but it gives me a chance to be something totally different. stories. Do you agree?
Yes, I believe it too. Even when I did Dedh Ishqiya and Gulaab Gang, I thought about it. In Gulaab Gang I had to do all my stunts myself and it was very liberating to let go of that anger, that was awesome. And then when I did Bucket List it was a very nuanced and moderate performance, that of a Maharashtrian lady of the middle clbad. Now there is one who is completely crazy, then with Kalank it's a completely different note.
Your next release is Kalank . You enter the film because of the untimely death of Sridevi. Did you have a lot of time to prepare?
I was doing Total Dhamaal when the unfortunate incident occurred and we were all shocked. We did not know what hit us and it's still amazing, when I think about it, I still can not believe it's true. And I just thought life was so short that you did not know what would happen tomorrow. All you can do is tell your children and your husband that you love them, and keep them close to you. We were going through all this when I had to enter the role. For me, as a person, it took a little longer to get used to it, but as an actress, you just have to read the role and slip into it. It was a little more immediate than I would have liked, and I was also shooting for Total Dhamaal which is so different. Suddenly, I had to move to a different time and era with more serious dialogues. But yes, it was also wonderful to work on this film.
I think you're also recording an album …
Yes, I have to work on it now and publish it, see the songs, and so on. People know that I sing, and I sing, but this album is different because it's in English. That's how I grew up, attended a convent school, spoke English and loved English music. It's a bunch of different genres, but in the pop genre, and yet different.
