A source revealed DNA, “Karan and Madhuri share a warm equation. They are even doing a film together (Abhishek Varman’s next). When Karan saw the teaser of ‘Bucket List’, which was released a week ago, he loved it and spoke to the team. He came on board as a presenter and along with Madhuri, this will be his debut in the Marathi film space.”
Moreover, speaking about his first Marathi venture, Karan told DNA, “I’ve been a staunch believer in regional cinema and since ‘Bãhubali’, I am confident that good cinema with a great platform breaks the barrier of language. Moreover, the opportunity to launch the superstar actor Madhuri Dixit-Nene in her mother tongue is going to be my absolute pleasure. Together, with the team of ‘Bucket List’ and AA Films, we hope that this heartwarming film gets all the love it deserves.”
‘Bucket List’ also stars Sumeet Raghavan, Renuka Shahane and Shubha Khote in pivotal roles. And we must say, Madhuri’s fans are going to get the biggest treat in May.
