 Every time she comes to Mumbai, Madhuri finds the city more westernized.
You shouldered the entire film... almost the hero. But heroine-centric films don't work.
There's no fear of failure in me. I'm just happy that something different has been attempted in my comeback film. There's no hero in the film. But I won't call myself the film's hero. I'm the female protagonist.
The thought made my legs shake, and not because I was dancing (laughs).
The Madhuri mania lives.
That's because I've worked with terrific directors and choreographers on good subjects. I remember when I met Aditya Chopra, my first question to him was - do people still want to see me? He looked at me very strangely and said, “Don't worry about that.”
And you get a vehicle in your new film where you dance non-stop.
It isn't just about dance but the entire theatre culture and dance is an integral part of it.
Did you keep your dancing going in the US?
No, where was the time? With two small kids it's very difficult. Out of the five years I was away, I was pregnant for the most, and then looking after my kids. So after Devdas, I hadn't danced at all.
And yet you slip so easily into the dances of Aaja Nachle!
Can't help it. I don't know what it is. It just comes naturally to me. Earlier, I had many of my best dances choreographed by Saroj Khan. And she was the boss. I just listened to her when she cracked the whip. In Aaja Nachle I was working with Vaibhavi Merchant who's an ardent fan of mine. And she was quivering on the first day. I had to call Vaibhavi aside and warn her we could do no work if she was going to be nervous of me. So, earlier Sarojji used to calm me down, this time I was calming my choreographer down. I was very impressed by her.
