Popular
southern
actress
Madhoo,
who
is
set
to
make
her
theatre
debut,
says
one
can't
compare
the
medium
with
cinema
because
theatre
is
done
for
the
joy
of
a
performer,
and
not
for
money.
Madhoo
will
debut
with
the
stage
adaption
of
The
Verdict,
which
will
be
performed
Aug
15
in
Mumbai.
"I
believe
theatre
is
the
last
place
one
would
want
to
be
in
for
money.
It's
mostly
done
for
the
joy
of
a
performer.
I
have
been
told
that
actors
such
as
Paresh
Rawal
and
Anupam
Kher
take
out
time
for
theatre
because
they
enjoy
doing
it," Madhoo
told
IANS.
"All
these
actors
never
quit
theatre
because
they
are
addicted
to
it.
We
can't
compare
theatre
with
cinema
because
the
economics
attached
to
them
is
totally
different.
Theatre
rarely
has
any
repeat
value
and
offers
very
little
monetary
benefit,"
she
added.
Madhoo
wanted
to
challenge
herself
with
theatre.
"I
don't
have
any
theatre
experience,
but
I
wanted
to
challenge
myself.
I
wanted
to
see
will
I
be
able
hold
myself
on
stage.
I
was
piqued
by
the
strange
nervousness
to
perform
live
in
front
of
a
live
audience.
I
wanted
to
know
if
I
can
pull
it
off
without
retakes,"
she
said.
The
Verdict,
directed
by
Divya
Palat,
also
features
Tanisha
Mukerji,
Dalip
Tahil,
Aditya
Hitkari
and
Vivan
Bhatena.
Quizzed
if
she
wants
to
nurture
a
career
in
theatre,
Madhoo
said,
"I
don't
have
a
logical
answer
for
that.
I
would
love
to
do
something
exciting
but
I
don't
know
when
I
will
say
yes
or
no.
I
have
something
exciting
lined
up
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
it."
Meanwhile,
Madhoo
is
also
awaiting
the
release
of
her
comeback
film
in
Telugu
Anthaku
Mundhu
Aa
Tharuvatha,
in
which
she
plays
the
role
of
a
mother.
