It challenged me to dive into a new side of my acting repertoire, and that process has been immensely gratifying and thrilling.”
Reflecting on what initially ignited her interest in the project, Madhuri stated, “I was captivated by the charm of the original ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ and found immense enjoyment in its sequel ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’. When Anees ji approached me with this new narrative, its appeal was immediate and irresistible. Viewers will discover what makes this film so special, but for me, the script was exhilarating, which played a pivotal role in my decision to participate.”
Known as one of the quintessential icons of Indian cinema, Madhuri Dixit’s journey in Bollywood started with the 1984 film ‘Abodh’, although it wasn’t until the colossal success of the 1988 blockbuster ‘Tezaab’ that she truly became a household name. The years following ‘Tezaab’ saw her cementing her place in the film industry with a string of mega-hits such as ‘Ram Lakhan’, ‘Parinda’, and ‘Khalnayak’.
. She further expanded her horizons by taking on diverse roles, notably in films like ‘Mrityudand’, which were appreciated for their offbeat and realistic portrayal of strong, empowering female characters.
In reflecting on her cinematic journey and influence over the years, Madhuri remarked, “I’ve had the fortune of working with exceptional directors and extraordinary scripts. Choosing roles that highlighted powerful women was intentional on my part, aiming to represent a banner of empowerment. With films like ‘Mrityudand’, which was groundbreaking at the time for commercial cinema, I strived to challenge prevailing genres and norms.”
Her efforts contributed to a noticeable shift in the industry’s landscape, as she noted, “At that time, many believed such realistic films couldn’t coexist within traditional commercial cinema. Yet, we ventured forward. Today, the segregation between art films and commercial cinema has faded, replaced by a universal quest for compelling content—a truly exciting evolution.”
‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’, steered by the vision of director Anees Bazmee and produced by Bhushan Kumar, beautifully carries forward the franchise’s dynamic mix of horror-comedy, drawing upon the talents of co-stars Kartik Aaryan, Vidya Balan, and Triptii Dimri. The film is keenly anticipated to light up the silver screens this Diwali with its release set for November 1.
Denoting the film’s highly anticipated arrival, especially amidst the looming competition from Rohit Shetty’s ‘Singham Again’, Madhuri confidently remarked, “I believe ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ will be an exhilarating experience for the audience this Diwali, sure to entertain and captivate.”
This transformation in Madhuri’s cinematic ventures underlines her versatility and indomitable spirit as an actress who continually seeks to reinvent her screen presence. With ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’, audiences can expect both nostalgia and innovation, delivered by one of Bollywood’s beloved stars, reaffirming her formidable standing within the industry.
