Madhuri ditched; Rani in for Sony TV’s ‘DPL’

Fans of Madhuri Dixit will be disappointed to hear that she has been replaced with Rani Mukherjee in Sony Entertainment Television Asia’s new show ‘Dance Premier League’.

Madhuri was expected to form the judging panel on the dance reality show but because a nanny for her children could not be arranged, she decided to pull out. This will be Rani’s first entry on the small screen.

A source confirmed the news to TellyChakkar, “The producers were to arrange for a nanny for Madhuri�۪s kids which they couldn�۪t. So Madhuri has decided to opt out of the show. The production house then got in Rani Mukherjee who has almost accepted. Her film Hadippa on which she had pinned a lot of hopes has bombed and the actress is quite low. She has also decided on trying her luck with a different medium. She has therefore accepted the offer. Moreover she is a trained dancer and has the right background in the field of dancing.”

Ali Morani of Cineyug confirmed the news and said, “Madhuri was keen on doing the show but she couldn�۪t find a nanny for her school-going kids in the U.S. Rani Mukherjee has been finalised as the second judge on the show. She will be adjudicating the gala round along with Shaimak Dawar.”

‘Dance Premier League’ kicks off on Sony TV on Friday (9th October).
