‘Roja’ star Madhoo to debut on small screen

Having received critical acclaim for her work in the likes of ‘Phool Aur Kaante’ (1991) and ‘Roja’ (1992), Madhoo then was seen less and less on the big screen, and instead focused on films in the South. However, if news is to be believed the actress is now getting back into the acting world on a more permanent basis, though this time it will be for the small screen.

As Times of India reports, the actress has been signed to play the lead in Star Plus’ ‘Aarambh’. To be directed by Goldie Behl, the actress was reported expressing, “Goldie and his wife Sonali (Bendre) are good friends, so I had no apprehensions about joining their team. Also, my character is well-defined; it has a proper beginning and end, unlike some roles that undergo illogical twists and turns. More importantly, when it comes to TV shows, their hectic schedule scares you. But here, it was not at all the way I feared it would be.”

Apparently the show has been inspired by the pivotal character Sivagami from the blockbuster hit ‘Bahubaali'(2015) played by South actress Ramya Krishnan. Talking about this, Madhoo explained, “Yes, it is a dynamic role. I will be playing a queen who takes control over her kingdom. Ramya is my best friend and I am happy that I am playing a similar character on TV.”
