Bollywood diva Madhuri Dixit will be seen gracing big screen this year after 6 long years in ‘Dedh Ishqiya’.

The actress, who was last seen in the movie ‘Aaja Nachle’ in 2006, said that she chose to be part of ‘Dedh Ishqiya’ because she has faith in the makers of the film - Vishal Bhardwaj and Abhishek Chaubey.

“I didn't wait for seven years for the script. I have my reasons. I was not even living here before. I was staying abroad so to come here and work and go back was getting very tedious,” said Madhuri Dixit to IANS.

"That was one of the reasons I didn't do anything, but when I decided to come to India and settle here, that time I decided to read scripts and 'Dedh Ishqiya' was offered. I was confident that Vishal and Abhishek team makes good films and I would love to be part of it," she added.

‘Dedh Ishqiya’ is a sequel to 2010 super hit movie ‘Ishqiya’, which starred Vidya Balan, Arshad Warsi and Naseeruddin Shah.

‘Dedh Ishqiya’ is a romantic saga of individuals who are caught amidst love, compassion and deceit. The movie will see Arshad Warsi and Naseeruddin Shah move from Gorakhpur (where ‘Ishqiya’ was set) to Lucknow and meet a highly cultured Muslim family that includes Madhuri Dixit and Huma Qureshi.

The movie will release on January 10.
