Madhuri Dixit - Happy Birthday

Madhuri Dixit | Birthday Girl

 
May 15th is the birthday of the most beautiful, gracious and talented leading lady of Hindi cinema: Madhuri Dixit.

This year Mads turns 44. We wish her all the best and hope she signs a film soon. 2011 has been a great year for her with the mega successful stint as judge on Jhalak Dikhlaja and the many many awards bestowed upon her.


Let's celebrate by watching one of her many magical songs. This one is taken from her earlier days 'Ram Lakhan' [1989]:

Aishwarya Signs Madhur Film

Celebrated film director Madhur Bhandarkar has finally signed Aishwarya Rai on for his next film "Heroine". As we all know, he initially approached Kareena Kapoor for the role which will be based on Marilyn Monroe. Kareena was pondering with the offer for more than a year but rejected it in the end.

Madhur had wanted to collaborate with Aishwarya for many years now, and although he stated many times that he wrote the role with Bebo in mind, I think Ash is the right choice. The film will be produced by UTV and is set to hit the floors later on in the year.

Here is the team at the Cannes Film Festival where the movie was announced officially.
