Husain,
a
self-confessed
fan
of
Bollywood
actress
Madhuri
Dixit,
has
booked
an
entire
show
of
her
comeback
film
Aaja
Nachle,
releasing
in
theatres
in
the
UAE
on
Thursday.
The
famous
painter,
now
living

seats
for
the

Cinema
on
the

Madhuri
had
taken
a
long
break
from
acting
after
her
marriage
to
US-based
surgeon
Dr
Sriram
Nene.
Husain said movie tickets for Aaja Nachle would act as “invites" and would have his autograph and a sketch of the Bollywood diva.
“I"ll also be exhibiting paintings of Madhuri in the foyer of the theatre. I have made these paintings based on her great hits," he told the Khaleej Times.
“In fact, the paintings are a part of a series I have undertaken and will be exhibited sometime next year as my tribute to Bollywood, the biggest and greatest movie industry in the world."
Husain is currently painting a series of huge panels that depict the glorious 100-year history of Indian cinema for the exhibition titled, 'From the Silver Silence of Dadasaheb Phalke to the Golden Dazzle of Madhuri Dixit´.
Dixit
told
the
paper
that
she
was
“overwhelmed
by
his
gesture
of
booking
a
theatre
for
my
comeback
film.
I
feel
very
flattered
indeed!".
