Madhuri Dixit returns to regale audiences with her new film, Maja Maa, which sees her as an everyday woman.
It’s a film she’s enjoyed working in for various reasons.
“This film gave me the chance to do my first ever garba performance!”
Did you enjoy shooting for Maja Ma?
Oh yes, absolutely! It was truly maja on the sets of Maja Maa, a whole lot of different and surreal experiences because this movie came with many firsts for me.
It was my first time working with Amazon Prime Video and Leo Media Collective, Director Anand Tiwari and Producer Amritpal Singh Bindra.
Also, this film gave me the chance to do my first ever garba performance!
Apart from that, the script was something that drew me to it.
I found my character, Pallavi Patel, to be so interesting and challenging.
So yeah, when there are a lot of things that you admire in a project, you tend to enjoy every bit of it.
Earlier this year, you made your OTT debut with The Fame Game. Do you see OTT platforms as the way forward?
Oh yes! There are so many kinds of roles being written for streaming services and that really provides us actors with the opportunity to explore our craft and challenge ourselves.
Stories on OTT platforms are unique and a lot of them have women as the focal point, which is great.
