Madhuri Dixit Nene to play gay character in ‘Maja Maa’?

After the success of ‘The Fame Game’ on Netflix, Madhuri Dixit Nene is set to surprise fans by playing a gay character in Amazon Prime Video’s next project ‘Maja Maa’.

Bollywood Hungama reports that the veteran actress will be playing a gay character in the film. A source said, “How her sexual orientation leads to conflict, madness and lots of entertainment as she prepares for her son’s wedding is the crux of the film.”

The source added, “It goes without saying that the homosexual element is clearly treated sensitively, minus any excitement have changed. Recently Bhumi Pednekar also played a lesbian in Bath shark Do and her rendition was beautifully rendered. Likewise, Madhuri Dixit’s character has been sensitively treated. That’s why a star like her agreed to sign for such an out-of-the-box part.”

It also stars Gajraj Rao, Ritwik Bhowmik, Rajit Kapur, Barkha Singh and Simone Singh. It is directed by Anand Tiwari.
