Bollywood actress <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/article/madhuri-dixit-stuns-in-her-sonepuri-silk-saree-carries-quiet-grace-on-every-fold-23606635" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Madhuri Dixit</a> opened up about her preparation for the upcoming series Mrs Deshpande on JioHotstar.
In an interview with ANI, Madhuri Dixit said that her main preparation for the role was deeply understanding the script and the character.
"For this role, the preparation was to sit on the script and understand the character. Once we understood the character, we met with the director to discuss. And then the magic happens on the set," said Madhuri Dixit.
The actress called "understanding the character" the most important foundation in her preparation for the role.
"Just knowing the character itself is good enough, I think, and then we go into the nitty-gritty, the smaller things on the set," said Madhuri Dixit.
The director <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/web-series/article/the-hunt-the-rajiv-gandhi-assassination-case-web-series-review-23583144" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Nagesh Kukunoor</a> revealed that he had written the entire script of the show, keeping Madhuri Dixit as the lead character in his vision, before her approval.
While talking to ANI, Nagesh said, "When we were writing episode 1, we were discussing the actors for the show's title character. So we floated the idea, why not Madhuri Dixit? Because we had never seen her in this role, and when we had this idea, we wrote the rest of the show keeping her in mind."
He added, "And the best part was, she said yes. So then we got to make the show. I can say with 100&#37 guarantee that if you have seen her in so many films, she has never played such a role."
