Madhuri Dixit to get bold in ‘Dedh Ishqiya’

YUSRA MURSALEEN

KARACHI: The Queen of Bollywood, Madhuri Dixit is making a comeback to the industry with a bold new movie titled “Dedh Ishqiya”, a sequel to the highly-acclaimed 2010 release “Ishqiya”.

Dixit said that she has no inhibitions in performing intimate scenes on-screen.

Speaking to the media Dixit said, "I don't think marriage or motherhood has anything to do with an actor's work. My kids (Arin and Rayan) and husband (Dr Sriram Nene) know that I'm an artist. I can't shy away from anything that a script demands, even if it's physical intimacy."

The professional actress added, "If I'm convinced that it's essential to the script, and I know it will be shot aesthetically, I won't say no to intimate scenes. Vidya's scenes were shot so beautifully in Ishqiya. If Dedh Ishqiya absolutely needs something of that sort, I'm game."

Dedh Ishqiya features Dixit alongside actors Arshad Warsi, Kangana Ranaut and veteran Bollywood legend Naseeruddin Shah. The film will be directed by Abhishek Chaubey and produced under Vishal Bhardwaj.

Dedh Ishqiya is expected to be released sometime towards the end of this year.
