Madhur Bhandarkar- “Working with Tabu in
Chandni Bar was a turning point in my life”
~The multiple award winning director speaks of his illustrious 20 year career in
Bollywood on Zee TV’s ‘Pro Music Countdown’ ~
With Bollywood and music being nothing short of religions in India, Zee TV has brought the
best of both worlds with its weekend prime-time offering. The channel’s first-of-its-kind music
countdown show called ‘Pro Music Countdown’ is hosted by one of India’s finest RJs, social
media influencer and YouTube sensation - Siddharth Kannan. The show presents superhit
songs in a never-seen-before chat show format with the hottest Bollywood celebrities getting
up close and personal about their career, love lives and everything that’s brewing in B-town!
In the upcoming friendship special episode of ‘Pro Music Countdown’ the actor-director BFFs
Neil Nitin Mukesh and Madhur Bhandarkar graced the couch on the show. The duo was
seen talking about their friendship and the journey in Bollywood which wasn’t easy for either
of them. The national award winning director Madhur Bhandarkar spoke about having spent
two decades in the industry, setting new benchmarks and introducing an all new genre of
films in the fraternity.
On being asked about his journey by Siddharth Kannan, a nostalgic Madhur Bhandarkar
said, “I used to be a delivery boy and delivered video cassettes going from door to door for
almost 4 years. By watching movies, I got inspired to become a filmmaker and now I’ve
completed almost 20 years in the industry. When I was a kid, I used to go and watch movies
being shot on sets, because I always knew what I wanted to do. Even today Mithun Da
remembers me as that boy who delivered video cassettes at his house.”
On being asked about his favourite heroine, Madhur Bhandarkar took the name of Tabu and
further added, “The movie 'Chandni Bar' with Tabu was a turning point in my life. The way
Tabu played that role and her performance not only changed her career but mine too! And
when I was an absolutely flop film maker, she believed in me and that’s why I have that
special connection with her.”
