Urmila Matondkar turns producer; unveils the trailer of maiden Marathi venture Madhuri

Urmila Matondkar, who used to be one of the reigning queens of Bollywood in the 90s, has added a new feather to her cap. The actress has turned producer along with her husband Mohsin Akhtar. Today she launched the trailer of her first Marathi film Madhuri in the presence of the entire cast and crew.

Bankrolled and presented by Matondkar and Akhtar’s production banner Mumbapuri Productions, Madhuri has been directed by Swapna Waghmare Joshi. It stars popular Hindi and Marathi film actress Sonali Kulkarni in the title role. Besides Kulkarni, Sharad Kelkar and Sanhita Joshi also play important characters in the flick.


If the trailer of the movie is anything to go by, Madhuri revolves around a woman and her relationship with her daughter. Things get a little haywire when doctors inform the teenage girl that her mother suffers from an uncommon personality disorder.

Talking about the message given by this film, Mohsin Akhtar said, "If the situation is bad we feel bad, but that does not mean that we forget to laugh. We all get such phases in life but we still keep living the life. We want to give the same message to the youngsters and their parents."

Madhuri is set to arrive in theatres on 30th Nov.

Here're some pictures from the trailer launch event.

Romesh Ranganathan jokes he might go work in a café if people get tired of seeing him

Highlights:

  • Romesh admits he’s aware of possible overexposure but says he chooses work based on gut feeling and quality.
  • He makes his West End debut opposite Sheridan Smith in Alan Ayckbourn’s Woman in Mind.
  • The play runs at the Duke of York’s Theatre from 9 December to 28 February, then in Sunderland and Glasgow in March.
  • Romesh will play Bill, the doctor who links Susan’s real and imagined worlds.
  • He balances television, radio, and stage work by turning down offers he doesn’t think he can do well.

Romesh Ranganathan says he knows the word “overexposure” follows him around and he’s decided it’s a risk worth taking. The comedian, who is making his West End debut, told the BBC he deliberately turns down roles at times but will say yes when a job feels right, putting “overexposure” and the play’s pull, plus the chance to work with Sheridan Smith, at the centre of his decision. This new stage turn comes as Romesh juggles television presenting, radio, and touring stand-up, and it is also his first proper stage role since primary school.
