Bollywood's Dhak Dhak girl Madhuri Dixit Nene, who was last seen in 'Gulaab Gang' in 2013, has been reportedly roped in to play Alia Bhatt's mother in Abhishek Varman's next titled 'Shiddat.'
According to a leading daily, Dharma Productions has managed to convince the 49-year-old actress to play Alia's mother in the film, reports Bollywood.life.
Interestingly, the 'Devdas' actress, who is widely known for her glamorous look in the movies, would be essaying such a role for the first time.
The upcoming movie, which will be co- produced by Dharma Productions and Sajid Nadiadwala, also stars Varun Dhawan in the lead role.
Meanwhile, actor Arjun Kapoor, who was too approached by the makers, is yet to give green light to the project.
