Just days after saying that Alia Bhatt will be the ideal person to play her in her biopic, Madhuri Dixit is now negotiatin­g with a premier Bollywood production house to make a biopic on her life.

“Yes, Madhuri is in discussion­s with someone to make a film on her life. Considerin­g that she has a production house herself she will be one of the producers if the project deal works out. Madhuri biopic is a wonderful idea and she is still active in Bollywood,” says a trade source.

As far as Madhuri’s life curve is concerned she has a wonderful story of her rise after being written off post her debut film Abodh. “One film critic even wrote that he would quit doing film reviews if she goes on to be a star. And she did become a star and how. We are not sure what aspects of her life will be kept and retained, but she is the one telling the story,” adds the source.

Recently in a media interactio­n during the promotion of her film Kalank, Madhuri had said, “Alia is the best person to play me. She has to work on her kathak though.”
