Uttar Pradesh lifts ban on Aaja Nachle

LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh government on Saturday lifted the ban on the screening of Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit's comeback film Aaja Nachle .

The move came after the promise of Yash Raj Productions that the controversial lines would be removed from the title song of the movie.

"Once it is verified that the objectionable lines in a particular song in the film have been removed, the ban would be lifted," Principal Secretary to UP Chief Minister Mayawati, Shailesh Krishna said earlier in the day.

The Mayawati government in Uttar Pradesh had on Friday night banned the movie in the state and also written to the Prime Minister demanding a complete ban on the film throughout the country alleging its title song has humiliated Dalits.

Krishna said that although the film producers have stated that controversial lines will be removed from the song, it would be verified whether it has been executed or not before going ahead with lifting the ban imposed by the government.

He said that directives to this effect were being issued to respective district magistrates to check that the lines have been removed in the reels available with the cinema halls and accordingly allow its screening in their areas.

Madhuri Dixit returns to Mumbai

Pune, Nov 14 - Madhuri Dixit who was apparently not satisfied with her comeback film 'Aaja Nachle' will nevertheless be in Mumbai to promote it after Yash Chopra persuaded her to do so.

The actor, who lives in the US, will be in Mumbai Wednesday to attend the promotional events for 'Aaja Nachle' that releases Nov 30, Chopra said here Tuesday during a visit to accept the Zenith Asia award for his contribution to cinema at a ceremony organised by the National Films Archives of India.

Apparently, the actress felt Yash Raj Films did not deliver the promised goods and therefore refused to promote 'Aaja Nachle'.

Chopra, who gave her a makeover in his super hit 'Dil To Paagal Hai', had a tough time convincing her to change her mind.

The director said his son Aditya met Madhuri in Detroit last year and convinced her to make a comeback with their film. She accepted the offer and came to Mumbai from the US, where she lives with her husband Sriram Nene and their two children. She was in India for almost seven months to complete the film.

The actor had taken a sabbatical after 'Devdas' and will be seen in a film after five years.

Chopra, who hasn't directed any film after his cross-border love saga 'Veer-Zaara', also talked about his forthcoming venture which he plans to start in January next year.

'I don't direct too many films these days because I am short of ideas. I can only make romantic movies. I'm finalising the script for my next film. I cannot make action movies and that is why Yash Raj produces movies made by young and talented directors,' Chopra told IANS.

He is also looking forward to Yash Raj Films animation movie 'Road Side Romeo', which is being made in collaboration with Walt Disney. Chopra doesn't want to compromise on quality and has allocated a huge budget for the film, which is expected to release sometime in June next year.

He said: 'For the first time, we have an Indian animation movie with the quality of Disney animation.'

Madhuri has cold feet

The promos of ‘Aaja Nachle’ are out and it seems that the leading lady is not very happy about the way the film has turned out.

Madhuri Dixit’s comeback vehicle hasn’t been received with much enthusiasm by the dhak dhak girl herself, and it seems she has declined to come down to India for the promotion unless she gets some positive reviews of the film.

The folks at Yashraj are said to be in a quandary because the mainstay of the film staying away from promotions will hardly make a good impression on the audiences.

As of now, efforts are on to convince her to make a trip to India sometime after Diwali, since the film is up for release on November 30.
