Main Madhuri nahin ban sakti

Konkona Sen Sharma was hardly afraid to share screen space with Madhuri Dixit because she knew she could hold her own, but when the actress heard that she had to dance with the nimble-footed Madhuri Dixit in 'Aaja Nachle,' she nearly ran away from the sets.

One has to be totally crazy to even attempt to match dance steps with Madhuri, says Konkona. Vaibhavi Merchant choreographed steps for Konkana which "thankfully didn’t make her look foolish in front of Madhuri." The film itself required Madhuri to dance much better than the rest of the cast.

Konkona is currently basking in the good reviews for 'Metro.' Says Konkona, "I just loved meeting Anurag Basu for the narrations. He kept getting all the characters' names confused. It was hilarious but I liked his honesty, passion…and maturity."

Talking about the reactions she received after the release of 'Metro,' she says, "People are so pleased to see my chemistry with Irrfan in the film. He is a good actor. Irrfan also has a guest appearance in Aaja Nachle."
