At the 54th International Film Festival of India, the legendary actress Madhuri Dixit was honoured with the 'Special Recognition for Contribution to Bharatiya Cinema' Award. Reacting to the honour, Madhuri said, “I’m feeling very honoured to have been bestowed upon such an award. It encourages me to do better work in this creative field and gives me a hunger to give more entertainment to our audiences.”
At the same event, Madhuri also performed. She said, “I’m very excited about my performance, especially being able to perform here at the IFFI platform.”
The opening ceremony was attended by several Bollywood stars and cine personalities, including Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting and Youth Affairs and Sports, Anurag Singh Thakur, and the Chief Minister of Goa, Pramod Sawant.
Madhuri also spoke about her home production film Panchak which is slated to release on January 5, 2024. The film is produced by both Madhuri and her husband, Dr Nene. She said, “We are the co-founders of RNM Moving Pictures. This is our second film. It has a very strong cast from the Marathi industry. Hope the film does well.”
When asked if Dr Nene will also be debuting as an actor soon, Madhuri said, “He is a surgeon and a doctor. He hails from a different platform altogether.” Dr Nene jokingly replied that he will “see” about acting in the future.
Touted as the World's 14th biggest International Film Competition, IFFI, the festival enters its 19th edition this year. Madhuri recently shared a selfie with Rajinikanth from the INDvsNZ semi-final match and called him “kind and respectful”.
