Madhur Bhandarkar's discovery Mugdha Godse, who hit the silver screen in the filmmaker's 2008 film Fashion is all set to step into Sridevi's shoes in the Marathi remake of the 1994 Anil Kapoor-Sridevi starrer Laadla. Interestingly, the actress has been paired with her off-screen boyfriend Mithun Purandare, who will essay the role played by Anil Kapoor in the original.
The Marathi version of Laadla is being produced by Nitin Manmohan and directed by Rajiv Patil, whose Marathi film Jogwa won five national awards.
A source close to the film told Mumbai Mirror, “Mithun was finalised for the role a few days ago. It is going to be a big challenge for him to step into Anil's shoes; it is his first film.”
Mugdha and Mithun have had a rather rocky relationship. They first met in 2003 during the shoot of a music video, which was being directed by ace photographer Jagdish Mali.
The couple of modelling assignments together, strengthened their 'liking' for each other. Mithun, who was smitten by Mugdha, had reportedly booked an entire theatre when Fashion hit the screens in 2008. Things started going wrong soon after. While insiders maintained that that the two were back together as a couple, Mithun claimed, “We are not dating. We have moved on to be great friends.”
Friends or lovers, the two have now been cast together in the remake of Laadla, the shooting of which will begin in January 2012. “Yes, I am doing Anil Kapoor's role in the Marathi remake of Laadla. It's a good opening. I am thrilled,” said Mithun.
We wonder if Mugdha is equally thrilled about the same.
