Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit, who have been captivating viewers for more than a decade, has no plans to act in movies as of now.

But, a section of the media reported that filmmaker Yash Chopra will himself direct Madhuri in their next film as their erstwhile release with her Aaja Nachle was a dismal flop.

A Yash Raj films (YRF) spokesperson said that the reports were baseless. "There is not an iota of truth of these reports", the spokesperson said.

Madhuri's business manager Rakeshnath alias Rikku also said that the actress is leaving for her home in US in a week's time and is not planning to do any movies.

The reports coincided with Madhuri's visit to India to receive the 'Padmashri' award for her contribution to Indian cinema.

Except attending the premiere of Jimmy, Mithun Chakraborty's son Mimoh's debut film and receiving the 'Padmashri' in Delhi at the hands of President of India Pratibha Patil, Madhuri is spending her time visiting family and friends, Rikku said.

The actress, who married US based doctor Sriram Nene in 1999 after a successful career in films, is a mother of two.

She made a comeback after six years in Yashraj's Aaja Nachle in November last year. However, the film did not do well.

Madhuri bids adieu to films, for now by Chandrika on 2008-05-13 22:19:02.090789+05:30 Good Decision. I am glad Madhuri decided to stop for now with dignity and respect. No actresses should stretch too far.... No matter what it is Male oriented world in Hind cenemas just should not compare with Bollywood where there is always a good script for mature acresses with respect to their age!

Madhuri was to play Devadasi by KTVReddy on 2008-05-13 16:20:00.770011+05:30 Famous OSCAR winner director Vasanth Rokade (Satara) has launched a brand new documentary titled DEVAADASI.STORY--IT IS Hair RASING STORY OF MIDDLE AGED WOMAN PLAYED BY MEDHA ROKADE WHO was kidnapped and kept in confinement. Abused every possible way by land mafia Vasanth Rokade and his goons led by naredra rokade.Miss Rucha was born and as per family/tribal tradition in Rokade family, she was to be deflowered by an elderly male of the same family. There will be voting and one who gets highest vote will deflower this innocent girl and then she will be forced to serve other male members of tribe as medha Rokade did for 20 years of so.Ms medha here plays role of life time where she openly defies Vasanth Rokade, ashok Rokade--faces wrath of all members of this ugly tribes but eventually she was burnt alive by kshirsgara tribes and bhange tribes. Destiny had more blood in the mid and there was a tie for deflowering rights. Real story start there and fight to finish as per tribes rule between two contenders is filmed at a high riser on Sun Empire on broad daylight. Blood stained skyline of Pune shown in the background is visual reminder of these ghostly traditions --but at the climax Miss RUCH Rokade commits suicide to save her pride rather than getting deflowered by a bhange man!!

1 Madhuri
by KTVReddy on 2008-05-13 16:20:46.769339+05:30Photography by UK Return NHS doctor ashok Rokade is hair rising and barring few explicit night scenes between tribal leader and Miss Medha, it is top niche. Fight to Finish just before midbreak is world class where ramesh Bhnage and Lalit kshirsagara (two protagonists) fight to kill for deflowering rights and execution of Lalit reminds viewer way abhimanyu was killed. Director Vasanth has used Geetha Slokas in the background just to tone down violence shown of the screen and will be one of the highlights of this splendid movie. Right angles and HD Lenses used by ashok Rokade will put him in the top bracket in the Hollywood as well. Vasanth Da proves beyond doubt here that even Mahabharata was fought for Drawpadi’s lust and s@@xually charged male/female can be worst than Doryadhana. Decapitation (al- Rokade style) shown on the screen of Lalit is gruesome scene and villain ramesh bhange jumps from 6th floor tower is a real stunt. Dramatic transformation of Lalit Kshirsagar from a civilian air India employee to a blood sucking s@@x charged tribal monster is worth a watch. Ramesh Lallu Bhnage who normally plays light hearted comedy role is seen here as tribal gangster with evil tint and seems he has worked hard on his physique and voice modulations. Dance number by Miss Medha Rokade where she goes almost topless to plead /please tribal leaders that still she is young, beautiful and capable to serve tribes as Devadasi for many more years and thereby telling them to spare Her Daughter. But Tribal leaders eventually burn her alive so that as per tribe rules, new Devadasi has to be nominated! Miss Medha looks stunning, divine and erotic and would draw big crowd for sure. Her Dance numbers reminds mennakumari of pakizaa! Back ground scores by Kirti Rokade is pleasant with right mix of vocal and instrumentals

by KTVReddy on 2008-05-13 16:21:32.557215+05:30Villain Naredra Rokade as Lions Club officer running flesh trading business in rural interior Maharashtra is worth mentioning. KVPatil as Public Prosecutor and Miss Jadhav PSI for Corrupt investigations Officer of bride burning CASE reflects how closely Police, Judiciary and Politics are interlinked.Director and producer VASANTH ROKADE Leading lady, Miss Medha Rokade and Rucha ROKADE CHILD STAR-- YASHVANT BHNAGI AND ADITYA as a perverted retarded boy are ok. In nut shell excellent movie by Vasanth Rokade and NCW (national commission of women) has promised to dub the movie in other Indian languages as well. Vasanth Da raise a valid point here that only 50 sati case has been registered since independence and we have Sati Laws but we have no laws preventing Devadasi and problem here is lot wider than isolated sati cases.Really Vasanth Rokade is a pride of this tiny city of Satara!
