OMG! Madhuri Dixit Was Asked To REMOVE Blouse & Wear Only Bra For Scene With Amitabh Bachchan
Madhuri Dixit Tinnu Anand: Madhuri Dixit is undoubtedly one of the most adored and renowned actresses in Bollywood. She is cherished for her versatility and stunning appearance. The actress has worked with almost every top hero of her time but has never shared the screen with megastar Amitabh Bachchan in any film.
However, it's interesting to note that filmmaker Tinnu Anand, renowned for directing some of Big B's most memorable films like "Shahenshaah," "Kaalia," "Major Saab," and "Main Azaad Hoon," once attempted to bring them together in a film titled Shanakht in 1989.
But he couldn't succeed in making the film. Recounting the very first day of the shoot from the film's set, Tinnu revealed that he had a heated argument with Madhuri over her costume that was so bad that he ended up firing her.
Madhuri Dixit was asked to take off her blouse and only wear a bra for a scene with Amitabh Bachchan
Renowned actor-director Tinnu Anand, in a recent interview with Radio Nasha, recalled a scene from the shoot where Amitabh was tied up in chains. He said, "In the scene, Amitabh is tied up in chains by the villain in that carriage. He is trying to protect Madhuri, but he gets overpowered by these goons. So Madhuri's character says why are you attacking a man in chains when a woman is standing in front of you."
He then shared that he had narrated the entire scene to Madhuri before signing her. He shared, "I had narrated the entire sequence to Madhuri, and I told her that you have to remove your blouse and for the first time, we should see you in your bra. And I am not going to hide anything behind a haystack or anything."
"Because you are offering yourself to help a man who is trying to help you. So it is a very important situation and I want to shoot it on the first day. She said okay," he said.
He then went on to say that he told Madhuri to design her own bra and added, "I said you can design your bra, whatever you want. You don't have to wear a bra bra but you can design your own bra, I don't mind. But it has to be a bra because your are opening your blouse, offering yourself."
Tinnu then revealed that Madhuri refused to do it even after willingly singing the movie and shared, "I asked what happened. She said, 'Tinnu, I don't want to do this particular scene.' I said, 'I'm sorry, you have to do this scene.' She said, 'No, I don't want to.' I said, 'Okay, pack up, say good bye to the film. I'll cancel my shoot.'"
Tinnu also stated that he was thinking of signing another heroine for the role, but Dixit's secretary later came in and said that she would do the scene.
Let us tell you that Madhuri and Tinnu never collaborated again, but Amitabh Bachchan and Madhuri had a special dance number in the 1998 film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, which was titled Mere Pyar Ka Ras Zara Chakhna.
