Versatile Madhuri Dixit who plays the central character Pallavi Patel explains why she took up this role. “ It’s a pivotal resilient woman-centric story character who has the strength of her conviction . She is a caring wife, doting mother, concerned friend—a  central guiding force who with her aura binds the society together, It was wonderful working with brilliant director Anand Tiwari, and amazing co-star actor Gajraj Rao  and other young talented co-stars Ritwik Bhowmik, Barkha Singh and Srishti Shrivastava. In fact, for the first time I played Garba ‘( dance song Boom Padi ) in my acting career . The movie is so much like a Hindi blockbuster movie with a spectrum of emotions, drama, domestic family conflicts, romance, festivities wedding, laughter , gravitas lovely lively songs relatable, relevant characters and lots of take-aways,” assures Madhuri

Was it a challenge for Madhuri stepping into a Gujarati character ? “ Homestly, I have played a Gujarati screen-character earlier in my previous big-screen comedy movie ‘Total Dhamaal’  ,But this character  Pallavi in ‘Maja Ma’ is very different. Must share that during my school and college I had lots of Gujarati friends and I do understand and speak quite a few Gujarati words and phrases   Frankly, I really love Gujarati culture, their food and snacks . Once on a 16 hour overseas flight to the US,  where the  in-flight food was not good, I carried with me Gujarati ‘thepplas’ ( spicy dry snack similar to soft parathas or rotis) and relished them all thru the flight,” laughs madame Dixit

Meanwhile co-star Gajraj Rao [ of ‘Badhaai Ho’ hit movie] fame seemed overwhelmed with some of his thrill-fan-moments as he also shared how he was so impressed  watching exemplary Madhuri’s professional conduct and discipline on the sets of ‘Maja Ma’.Recalls Gajraj, “Not even once did mega-star Madhuri leave the sets without the prior permission of  movie director Anand Tiwari. What also impressed me, was that despite being such an iconic star, she was so friendly-playful-courteous with absolutely no star-tantrums during the shoot, during lunch-break or after her pack-up.”

The agile charismatic ‘Ram Lakhan’ and ‘Devdas’ movies lead actress, who once swayed the nation with her iconic number, ‘Ek Do Teen’, [from Tezaab ] was in Mumbai for the fanfare trailer launch of her upcoming Prime Video streaming movie ‘Maja Ma’ which starts streaming from October 6^th, just a day after auspicious Dussehra day.
