Madhuri to star opposite Sanjay Dutt in Satte Pe Satta remake

After months of speculation on who would star opposite Sanjay Dutt in Satte Pe Satta remake, the official announcement has now been made and it’s none other than Madhuri Dixit who has bagged the coveted role.

While Sanjay Dutt will reprise the role played by Big B in the original cult classic, Madhuri will be seen in the character played by Hema Malini in the original. It may be recalled that Madhuri and Sanjay have been part of several hit films in the past such as Saajan, Khalnayak and Thanedaar. It will no doubt be interesting to see this jodi re-create magic once again on the silver screen.

Satte Pe Satta remake is being directed by Soham Shah and produced by Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd. in association with Sanjay Dutt Productions.

Twitter outrage over Madhuri playing Sonam’s mom

The news that Madhuri Dixit would be playing mom to Sonam Kapoor in Anil Kapoor’s production of Freaky Friday has not gone down too well with her fans and supporters.

Laughs Madhuri, “My followers on Twitter are asking, why mom why mom, no mom! Let’s see. I haven’t said yes to Anil yet. I’m yet to see Freaky Friday. I’m watching the film this week. After that I’ll take a call.”

Madhuri is very clear that she won’t accept a role unless she’s absolutely sure of it. “It isn’t as if I’ve any problems playing a mother on screen. I am a mother in real life. And I love being one.”

In fact her two sons are in India right now for their Christmas holidays. “And we’re having a ball. I’ve never been away from them for so long. God, it was good to see them.”

Madhuri is in Mumbai until March 2011. “That’s when my stint on ‘Jhalak Dikhla Jaa’ will end. I’m having such a good time doing the show. I’m no stranger to the camera. But I had never judged a reality show before. So I had my apprehensions. But the show is a breeze. The contestants are all so good. And I get along really well with the other judges Malaika Arora and Remo. Yeah, all in all I’m very comfortable doing the show.”

As for signing a film Madhuri is not getting into anything she’d regret later. Not after her last film Aaja Nachle.

Says a source very close to Madhuri, “Aaja Nachle had everything going for it. But it didn’t have a sense of purpose. The fight was for something really trivial. Now Freaky Friday is no great shakes. If they are remaking a bad film, how much can they improve on it? At this stage of her career Madhuri doesn’t want to get into anything she’d regret later.”

Madhuri, Sonam to work together?

MUMBAI: Bollywood queen Madhuri Dixit has been offered the role of Sonam Kapoor”s mother in Anil Kapoor”s remake of Freaky Friday, an Indian daily reported.

Anil Kapoor who had recently expressed his desire to work with the dhak dhak girl, feels the actress is apt for the role, considering her versatility as an actress.

Madhuri has liked the script, but is yet to give her final nod, sources said.

The role was previously offered to Kirron Kher, but she couldn”t do the movie due to date trouble.

The movie plot revolves around mother-daughter relationship. Anil Kapoor confirmed to Mumbai Mirror, “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.”

Madhuri Dixit quietly shoots an ad; will also sign movie soon

The ovation is so irresistible especially when you happen to be Madhuri Dixit. To no one’s surprise, she’s back in the thick of things shooting not only for the reality show that brought her to India this time, but also an endorsement for which she has apparently been paid an unheard-of price.
Madhuri has now been signed on for a number of endorsements in India. One of them was shot last week at a suburban studio. According to reliable sources, Madhuri and her old faithful business manager Rakesh Nath (Rikku) have finalized the exiled Diva for at least three other endorsements that would keep Madhuti busy for a good part of January.
When contacted Rikku who has looked after Madhuri’s career from the start admits Madhuri’s endorsement plans. “She is at this very moment shooting for an endorsement campaign for Hindustan Lever product. Other endorsements are being finalized. Meetings are on.”
The buzz in the film industry is that Madhuri is determined to make a comeback into movies.
Says a source, “The reality show, then the endorsements are stepping stones to a movie comeback. When she did Yash Raj Films’ Aaja Nachle three years ago, the project backfired because it relied solely on her charisma. The film was about saving a dying theatre company. It wasn’t about saving the Taj Mahal. So no one really cared. This time Madhuri is determined to get her movie comeback right. She’s here in Mumbai for the long haul. The reality show and endorsements are teaser trailers. Madhuri will sign a big film soon.”
Apparently, Yashraj Films, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Karan Johar and UTV have come up with tempting offers. Madhuri is on the verge of signing one of these.
Says Rikku, “You’re right. She has got 4-5 very good offers. She will definitely do another film soon. But this time we have to be very careful. I’ve worked with other actresses. But Madhuriji is Madhuriji.”
The diva seems more than happy keeping busy at home away from her adopted home. Says Madhuri, “I’m having a ball. I am so glad people have like me on ‘Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa’. I am enjoying this busy phase before the camera.”
Her sons are expected to join her this week for their Christmas holidays. “I can’t wait to see them,” Madhuri says happily before rushing for her next shot.
