Varanasi
(UNI):
Film
actress
Madhuri
Dixit
will
play
Shaguna
Bai,
the
famous
painter
Raja
Ravi
Verma's
beloved
in
her
comeback
movie
Suryamukhi,
to
be
shot
in
Mumbai,
Goa
and
Varanasi.
The
'dhak
dhak'
beauty
will
be
in
the
holy
city
in
November-December
for
the
shooting
of
the
film
directed
by
six-time
national
award
winner
Shaji
N
Karun
sources
said
yesterday.
The
film
based
on
the
life
of
Raja
Ravi
Verma
will
see
Ajay
Devgan
essay
the
role
of
the
famous
painter,
who
invited
the
wrath
of
people
for
innovatively
painting
Hindu
goddesses,
the
model
for
which
was
served
by
his
beloved
Shaguna
Bai.
Although
the
film
is
based
on
the
life
of
the
famous
painter,
it
is
Ganga
(the
name
of
the
character
denoting
Shaguna
Bai),
who
will
dominate
the
flick,
sources
added.
For
both
Ajay
Devgan
and
Madhuri
Dixit
will
for
the
first
time
shoot
in
Varanasi,
Mr
Karun
has
in
the
past
shot
scenes
of
his
Malyalam
film
starring
Mohan
Lal
here.
The
religious
city
is
likely
to
see
Ajay
Devgan
work
in
two
ventures
simultaneously
during
his
stay
in
Varanasi.
Besides
shooting
for
Shaji
Karun's
Suryamukhi,
Devgan
is
also
likely
to
be
in
front
of
the
camera
for
Raj
Kumar
Santoshi's
Halla
Bol.
