Madhuri
Dixit
Nene
says
she
was
shocked
to
read
names
of
Alok
Nath
and
filmmaker
Soumik
Sen,
people
she
has
previously
worked
with,
in
the
#MeToo
movement
as
she
was
not
privy
to
this
side
of
their
personalities.
In
the
#MeToo
movement,
which
hit
Bollywood
in
August
last
year,
Nath
was
accused
of
rape
by
writer-director
Vinta
Nanda.
Sen,
who
directed
Madhuri
in
Gulaab
Gang,
has
been
accused
of
inappropriate
behaviour
by
three
women.
When
asked
if
it
was
heart-breaking
for
her
to
see
their
names
in
the
#MeToo
movement,
Madhuri
told
PTI,
"It
is
always
shocking.
Because
you've
known
them
and
you've
not
known
them
like
that.
It
is
always
shocking
when
something
like
that
comes
out.
What
you've
known
them
and
what
you're
reading
is
two
different
people.
It
was
so
shocking."
The
actor
is
currently
gearing
up
for
her
upcoming
comedy,
Total
Dhamaal.
Post
which,
she
would
be
seen
in
Karan
Johar's
production
Kalank,
which
features
an
ensemble
cast
of
Varun
Dhawan,
Alia
Bhatt,
Sanjay
Dutt,
Sonakshi
Sinha,
Aditya
Roy
Kapur.
Originally,
Sridevi
was
meant
to
do
the
film,
before
she
passed
away
in
February
last
year.
The
role
eventually
went
to
Madhuri.
The
51-year-old
actor
said
she
took
time
to
'digest'
that
Sridevi
was
no
more.
"What
took
time
was
to
digest
the
whole
thing
that
had
happened.
It
was
so
shocking,
I
was
like
'you
want
me
to
do
this
role?'
because
even
they
(filmmakers)
were
stuck.
They
had
to
go
on.
As
a
person
it
was
hard
to
deal.
As
an
actor,
you
know
the
role,
the
script.
It's
a
different
matter
altogether.
But
to
accept
the
truth
was
very
difficult," she
added.
Directed
by
Indra
Kumar,
Total
Dhamaal,

Anil
Kapoor,
Ajay
Devgn,
Arshad
Warsi,
Riteish
Deshmukh,
Johnny
Lever,
Boman
Irani,
Sanjay
Mishra
among
others.
It
is
scheduled
to
release
on
February
22.
