Juhi Chawla teams up with Madhuri Dixit for Gulab Gang

Juhi Chawla has joined Madhuri Dixit for Anubhav Sinha’s upcoming film Gulab Gang. The producer feels that it will be great to see the two actresses together for the first time on the big screen. "Actually, there were two reasons to cast Juhi Chawla. The first thing was that it was a creative decision taken by all of us and we thought it would be great to see these two iconic stars teamed together in the film," said Sinha. "I couldn't have pulled off a better cast than the two most iconic female stars, Madhuri and Juhi, together for the first time on Indian screen," he maintained. Inspired by Sampat Pal-led Gulabi Gang in Bundelkhand, Uttar Pradesh that fights for the rights of women in the region, the film will be directed by Soumik Sen. Questioned as to when the film will go on the floors, Sinha averred, "For some time, we were working on the looks of the actresses. Now we are ready to roll. Since the film is based in rural India, both of them (Juhi and Madhuri) will be seen in a de-glam avatar and will have a rustic look." Gulab Gang also stars Mahie Gill and Shilpa Shukla. The film will roll in December (2012) and the first schedule will be shot in Mumbai. Earlier, Sinha wanted to release Gulab Gang on Women's Day next year but since things got a little delayed, it will release some time after March.
