“I’ll Sign Another Film, If I Like It,” Says Madhuri Dixit

madhuri_dixitMumbai: “Aaja Nachle” has invited lots of talks on Madhuri Dixit. There is a lot of talk on Madhuri’s next movie.

Madhuri said, “I haven’t signed anything new. I haven’t planned any new project as yet. And it isn’t because I want to see how my so-called comeback is accepted.”

“The box office outcome of Aaja Nachle has nothing to do with my future in films. I’ll sign another film if I like it,” she said.

When asked how she plans to balance her domestic duties in Denver with her movie shootings in Mumbai, she said, “We’ll see how it goes. Maybe I could again shoot in India during the kids’ vacations. Or then the film could be shot in the US.”

Madhuri’s sons Arin and Ryan have seen mom’s films in passing.

“They’ve seen Devdas fully. They found me strange in that film because I was bedecked and bejeweled from head to toe. What I've worn in Aaja Nachle is how they see me dressed at home. Hum Aapke Hain Koun was another film that was pretty close to me in dress and thought,” she said.

She cuts down all speculation about her unwillingness to be in India to promote Aaja Nachle.

Madhuri said, “What rubbish! Yashraj Films and I had decided that I should be here 15 days before the film’s release. I think two weeks is a decent period to acquaint people with a film.”

“Times have changed. Now you need to tell people to come and see your film. It’s like inviting guests for a daughter’s wedding. And you know what? I’m enjoying it.”

Most critics and audiences agree that Dixit produces a first-rate performance, and at 42, retains much of her oomph and agility as a dancer.

“Aaja Nachle,” with echoes of the hit Brazilian musical “Xuxa Requebra,” is about a dancer who returns from abroad to save a theatre from being torn down to make way for a shopping mall.
