Actress Madhurima Tuli is spending her free time watching Shabana Azmi's films. And that's because she wants to be fully prepared before she starts shooting for her international project, The Black Prince, in which she plays Shabana's younger version. An excited Madhurima says, “In the film, I will be portraying the younger days of the character played by Shabanaji. So, I wanted to make sure I look the part and pull it off convincingly. So, I've been seeing her films on repeat mode. I've already watched Masoom and Fire. My mom has also been suggesting some movies that I can watch.“

The film is based on the life of the last Sikh Maharaja, Maharaja Duleep Singh. The actress, who debuted in Bollywood with Baby, is a tad disappointed that she won't get a chance to work with Shabana.

Meanwhile, Madhurima, who was last seen in the show Kumkum Bhagya, says she is looking forward to returning to television. “I've been getting offers, and I've almost finalised a TV series,“ she says.
