Madhuri DixitMadhuri Dixit put off by the idea of nudity?

There seems to be a reason why Madhuri Dixit has not committed to filmmaker Shaji Karun’s proposed project on the life of painter Raja Ravi Varma and his muse Sugunabai.

The film, tentatively titled ‘Suryamukhi’, is about the love affair between Raja Ravi Varma and a Maharastrian woman who posed for him. The film is set in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.




Six-time National Award winner, filmmaker Shaji Karun, approached Madhuri with the offer to act in the movie when the actress was in India early this year.

Madhuri heard the story, but has still not committed to the project.

She is being sought to play Sugunabai in the film.

Reports suggest that the film might contain some nudity as Raja Ravi Varma painted some nude canvases of his muse. And this doesn’t seem to have gone well with Madhuri.

Although Shaji has said that he will use shadows in the film to represent nudity, or perhaps use the paintings by Varma to depict the same, it still remains to be seen whether Madhuri will give her consent to the role.

Shaji Karun has approached Ajay Devgan to play the painter.

In case Madhuri declines to act in the film, Karun says he will sign Vidya Balan .
