Madhuri Dixit, who had kicked off her first Marathi film, Bucket List, in December, took off to Malaysia earlier this week with co-star Sumeet Raghavan to shoot for a romantic number titled “Tu Pari”. It has been composed by composer-duo Rohan Gokhale and Rohan Pradhan, who has earlier worked on the Priyanka Chopra-produced Ventilator and Kaay Re Rascalaa.

“We will also shoot a sequence for the film that leads up to the song. It’s a beautiful number and is set against locations in Langkawi that haven’t been explored on screen before. The song serves as a catalyst to the story,” director Tejas Vijay Deoskar told Mirror from Malaysia, adding that viewers will identify with Madhuri’s character. “It’s the story of a housewife but we are striving to convey that there is more to her than that — she is also a daughter, a sister, a wife and a mother who has a lot of responsibilities. Being a housewife is a fulltime job and ours is an uncommon story of a common character.”

Tejas is also all praise for his leading lady. “Beyond her stardom and looks, she is amazing as an actor and is delivering much more than I expected of her,” he informs, adding that Madhuri is enjoying her first visit to Langkawi. “She loves the picturesque island. It’s the ultimate holiday destination even if we are working.” The team returns to the Bay this weekend.
