Madhuri Dixit-Nene is keen to do meaningful cinema as she believes such films have a positive impact on the audience. “I’m looking for films and roles that are different to do and yet they create an impact on the audience and make them think,” said the actor, who makes her debut as a producer with the recently-released Marathi film, Panchak. The film deals with themes such as superstition and the fear of death.
“When I read the script of Panchak, I liked it instantly as it was a different take on superstition with a comic lens. Through the film, we are trying to say that don’t fear in life, keep a balanced outlook,” Dixit said. The actor recalled how several of her industry colleagues advised her against taking up Prakash Jha’s Mrityudand (1997), which commented on the social and gender injustice. “People asked, ‘You are a commercial film heroine, why are you doing this art house film?’ I did it because I loved the script,” reminisces Dixit.
