Is Madhuri Dixit planning her directorial debut? Actor reveals
What's the story
Bollywood actor Madhuri Dixit, who has been working for four decades, recently revealed whether she will step into direction. In an exclusive interview with IANS, she said, "A lot of people ask me that because I have been working for 40 years." "That brings with it the kind of experience because you have seen so many directors...learned from them." "But...I have to be ready for it, and right now I am not, but at some point maybe."
Career reflection
Dixit's journey from 'Abodh' to 'Mrs Deshpande'
During the same conversation, Dixit also reflected on her journey in the film industry, from her debut film Abodh to her recent series, Mrs. Deshpande. She noted how filmmaking has become more organized over the years. "I think at that time there were only five or six very organized producers... and the rest was pretty unorganized," she said, adding that today it's a lot more systematic with better facilities for actors.
Actor's perspective
Dixit emphasized on actor's comfort and role preparation
Dixit also highlighted how actors are now given more comfort. "So, there are a lot of things where the comfort of the actor is taken care of," she said. She also talked about the importance of role preparation in today's filmmaking. "You get a script, along with amenities such as the RVs...we do a lot of prep for the roles, we have readings, which never used to happen then," she added.
