Madhuri Dixit toughens up for Gulaab Gang

For the action sequences,Madhuri had to train extensively under the renowned Shaolin master Shifu Kanishka Sharma. To master the stunts,she trained for four hours,every day for three weeks. During the shoot,she finished her action sequences in one or two takes. “Thanks to her background in dance and extensive training before the shoot,Madhuri took very few takes to finish the sequences,” added Sinha.

The team had to shoot a scene in Navi Mumbai,where Madhuri had to jump off a truck,and kick a cast member. Stunt directors Parvez and Firoz had given her all the instructions before the scene. “We were a little worried,as Madhuri had to jump from a truck. We thought that it would not be possible to shoot before sunset as she would need several takes. We were shocked when we saw her performing the entire sequence so effortlessly,and that too in a single take. She climbed the truck on her own,and jumped off without any kind of worry,” stated Sinha.

Gulaab Gang is Madhuri’s return in a full-fledged role since Aaja Nachle in 2007. Slated to release this year,it also has Juhi Chawla,Mahie Gill,and Shilpa Shukla in pivotal roles.
