Remember
the sensation he created
with his film, Page
3? It was a realistic
comment on the so-called
charmed circle of
party-hoppers in the
Mumbai social circuit.
It recorded the decadence
and erosion of values
in modern city life.
Madhur is not new
to controversies though.
Last year, he was at
the center of a sexual
harassment scandal brought
up by a starlet, Preeti
Jain. Recently, Preeti
was arrested with charges
of attempting to murder
Madhur. Unfazed by the
goings on, he has proceeded
with writing the script
for his next film. The
story? You guessed it
– another rocker
of an issue about the
cricket betting scandal
involving the bar dancer,
Tarannum Khan. Tarannum
was arrested recently
by the Mumbai police
and questioned over
her alleged involvement
in cricket betting.
Madhur is in charge
of the screenplay and
direction and Ashok
Pandit is the producer.
There is stiff competition
for the actress who
would play Tarannum.
We have reliable news
that Rani Mukherjee,
Konkona Sen and Urmila
Matondkar are in the
fray and that Urmila
has a slight edge.
