Madhuri Dixit Wants To Act With Amitabh Bachchan

Shaking a leg with megastar Amitabh Bachchan once is not enough for actress Madhuri Dixit. She hopes to act with him someday and is keeping her fingers crossed for that.

The two were seen dancing together in 'Makhna' in the 1998 film Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan along with Govinda. "There were nearly three films which we did together, but they never happened. I am keeping my fingers crossed. Maybe, something will work out," Madhuri told IANS. But at the moment, she is busy promoting Dedh Ishqiya.

"It's crazy. It needs a lot of energy. Everybody is doing it and it seems to be the part of whole thing. I don't know how much benefit we'll get from promotions, but we are doing our best," said the star, who will be seen on the silver screen after seven years.

Directed by Abhishek Chaubey, Dedh Ishqiya also features Naseeruddin Shah, Arshad Warsi and Huma Qureshi, among others.

Often cited as one of the best actresses in Bollywood, Madhuri Dixit made her film debut in Abodh (1984) and received wider public recognition with Tezaab (1988). The film failed but Dixit earned positive reviews from critics. Aakash Barvalia on Gomolo praised her as he wrote "Madhuri excels in her role as a young naive bride who acquits herself well as the naive village girl and does not realize what marriage actually entails."
