Much has been speculated about the man who will play Madhuri’s hero in her comeback film in Bollywood.
It is a well-known fact by now that Madhuri Dixit is returning to tinsel town with a Yash Raj film titled Aaja Naachley .
To be directed by ace cinematographer Anil Mehta, the film will mark Madhuri’s comeback after a long gap since her marriage.
However, speculation has been rife about who will pair with Madhuri in the film. Names like Kunal Kapoor , Nana Patekar , Bobby Deol and Akshay Kumar have been guessed. But it appears that none of the above will get to share the screen space with Madhuri.
Grapevine has it that Akshaye Khanna has been finalized for the role.
It is being said that Aditya Chopra from Yashraj Films wanted someone with high acting caliber to star opposite Madhuri in the film. Akshaye, who is known for his intensity, apparently suited the role.
Although Madhuri will begin shooting for the movie in January, Akshaye will reportedly begin shooting his portions in February.
It is believed that Madhuri plays a theatre actress in the film. However, people at Yashraj Films are keeping the film’s story and details about Madhuri’s role in it under secrecy.
