Madhuri Dixit denies one more offer

Madhuri Dixit is fortunate to get some very good opportunities even at this stage of her life. The actress is well settled in her married life with her cute kids and husband. Recently she got the opportunity to work with Bapu Bomma, the famous director of Tollywood. She was offered the role of Sita in Bapu’s upcoming movie Sriramarajyam. But the actress turned down this offer. Though the movie experts say that Madhuri did not do a wise act by denying this offer but the actress says that she had her own problems in doing this role.

Madhuri Dixit was also approached for the role of Indira Gandhi by Kundan Shah. The same role was also offered to Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Vidya Balan but none of the actresses agreed to do this role.

Madhuri with Kareena, not Aishwairya on TV Show

Kareena Kapoor is all set to wear the judge’s hat on Dance Premier League’s Delhi auditions and will be in the Capital next week for the same. Production company Cineyug has approached several Bollywood names for the same and now it seems that Kareena’s name is final.

Interestingly, dance divas Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan were also approached but Aishwarya Rai declined the offer due to date issues. Madhuri is keen to judge the show and has almost confirmed she would be there.

Sara Khan and Eijaz Khan have been finalized as the hosts and dance guru Shiamak Davar will play the taskmaster and set up the difficulty levels for participants.

While Kareena Kapoor has given her assent and would be there in the Capital next week for the show, Madhuri has almost confirmed her presence.

Madhuri would Reign Less Now

These are desperate times for Bollywood heroines. In the absence of
work in a recessionary market and with duds outnumbering hits, the
faith filmmakers had on fresh talent is beginning to wear thin, they
are signing whatever film comes their way. Notably, many leading
ladies are willing to be paired with relative newcomers many years
younger, just in order to keep themselves busy.

However, the compulsions of the past do not apply to the present.
Conditions in Bollywood have changed to such an extent that no heroine
today can remain at the top for more than four to five years. Compare
this to the career span of a yesteryear dream girl, like Hema Malini
or Rekha which lasted for almost two decades. The next generation of
Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit could reign for 15 years. Their successors,
Rani Mukherji and Preity Zinta have been around for just about 10
years and are now on the way out. Their replacements, such as Kareena
Kapoor, Bipasha Basu and Priyanka Chopra are in for still tougher
times as already the likes of Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone are
snapping at their heels.

But look closer and a different picture emerges. The current ‘older
women, younger men’ syndrome on screen may actually be benefiting the
heroes more than the heroines. More than the heroines and heroes, it
would appear that the filmmakers are themselves caught in an
intractable situation. All the top-ranking stars with saleable names
(the three Khans, Akshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan) have out-priced
themselves and cut down on work.

But since audiences have become mature enough and are receptive
towards films that attempt to push the envelope in unconventional
ways, nobody is complaining. Effectively, Hindi cinema is now more
vibrant and less cliché ridden than it was till about a decade ago.

It is this argument of the producers that has put many of our leading
ladies in a spot. They suddenly find themselves with no takers among
those they had once worked with and to make matters worse, newer
filmmakers are having no need for heroines, whether young or old.

So we are treated to a 36-year-old Tabu being wooed by Kunal Kapur in
Meenaxi — A Tale of Three Cities. Likewise, Vidya Balan was paired
with a younger Shahid Kapur in Kismat Konnection, Kangana Ranaut with
Adhyayan Suman in Raaz — The Mystery Continues and Sushmita Sen with
real-life love interest Randeep Hooda in Karma Aur Holi. Now Konkona
Sen Sharma will be seen with Ranbir Kapoor in Wake Up Sid while Rani
Mukherji shall be teaming up with Shahid Kapur in Yashraj Films’
hitherto untitled film on cricket.

One reason this role reversal seems to be working with audiences is
that society itself has become accommodating towards liaisons of
younger men and older women. Another reason could be that today’s
heroines are exceptionally figure conscious and with their
well-maintained bodies, manage to look much younger than they really
are.
Ultimately, it boils down to public perception. After all, stardom is
nothing but the projection of an image that conforms to the collective
fantasy of masses.

New Madhuri on the block

If director Vivek Sharma’s prejudice for his discovery can be put aside, then his heroine Vaishali Desai is a combination of Madhuri Dixit and Kareena Kapoor. That’s the exact predicament he faced and the man decided to give his KAL KISSNE DEKHA heroine Vaishali Desai, a mixed compliment.

Says a unit source, ”Even though Vaishali had just started her stint in front of the camera, she grew in confidence as the days progressed. Impressed, Vivek was quick to acknowledge her hard work combined with screen presence and beauty. He walked up to an unsuspecting Vaishali and showered her with compliments.

Vaishali was overwhelmed with this kind of comparison. Especially for a new-comer, comparison to the best actress ever on India Screen and current diva was indeed more than expected.

Ask Vaishali about the incident and she gets all red faced, ”It’s something very personal for me and I would cherish that moment. I don’t know how much he really meant that or if he was just trying to boost my confidence. Whatever be the case, it did wonders to my morale. It made me move a million miles ahead at the beginning of the shoot itself.”

As she enters Bollywood, she would have to get used to the compliments coming her way. How is she looking at differentiating between the real and fake compliments?

”By going back to my family every night”, says Vaishali, ”For me, they are the biggest critics in my life. They are very appreciative when I do something good and would be the first to tell me when I err. Whatever I am today, it’s because of them. It’s their grooming of me that has helped shape up my character. They have told me quite clearly that flattery doesn’t take one anywhere while criticism mostly helps. All I do is seriously follow their advice.”

Well, that means a new Madhuri on the block.
