Rajinikanth's next after the super blockbuster Endhiran/Robot is Rana where he will play triple roles and will also romance Deepika Padukone. Three of those roles span different generations with Deepika romancing the youngest Rajini. Madhuri was approached to play his mother to the youngest one and a wife to the older one.
The Dhak Dhak star said no to the actor who offered him one of the three leads in his upcoming film. Rajinikanth who has acted with Madhuri before in Uttar Dakshin in 1987 was keen to sign Madhuri in the film Rana. But the actress turned down the offer saying she was missing her sons and wanted to fly back to US.

"will also romance Deepika Padukone."....frigging cringe-worthy..rajni needs to stop playing all these roles of the young hero..when he kissed aish in the last movie it was a vomit fest...
agree, i am really looking forward to see deepika in the period look. the only reason i might watch it.
madhuri is the best off all
rajnikanth wanted madhuri to play his sister which is wat madhuri said on twitter
His mother ??? bwaahahaha
The MEGA Stars of that generation are delusional about their star status.
lololol, madhuri his mother. he is more like her father. for whatever reasons, i am glad she turned this down. the movie seems to be really confusing too, three generations and period film. hopefully they make deepika look beautiful in the period look, bc that's the only reason i might watch this movie.
Rajni wanted Madhuri to be his heroine NOT mother!!! This is false news. I am a friend to Soundarya Rajnikanth and we discussed this just yesterday!!
SMART of madhuri - she is a smart actress...not stupid when they turn old doing any film. she cares about her family, fans, reputation, she is always seen as a main actress no mother shit
Ok,Madhuri has been in India for a while now I'm sure she was missing her kids way before this film offer came about. Glad she turned it down,personally think it was a bit cheeky for Rajni to expect her to take on this role. Dude needs to retire.
in refernce to this comment:
let us not discuss tha age factor. madhuri said no because making a film takes a year or greater and she would not be able to give that much time away from her family. The show she is doing is for 3 months, she can fly back to the states after that
why did she do aaja nachle then and in that case she can never do ANY film then.
hahahha thats such an insult to Madhuri. Rajnikanth should play her father instead. muahahaa
like I'm sorry but that Endhiran .... the promos looks like like crappy comedy or something when I know for a fact Rajni looks like a Grandpa and he's made himself to look so much younger n also look like a clown and Aish laughing and dancing around him to get his attention lol.
He's crazy .... first he makes himself look late 30's and 40 when in reality he looks like 70 some or whatever his age is .... he gets girls 40 years younger or even younger thn to romance him .... Deepika .... that's nasty she's like what 40 years younger thn him? He can't play his age .... he plays much much younger and makes a fool of himself I never liked him anyway and his acting isn't much either.
glad Madhuri turned it down. i rather she be picky when/if she chooses films... and i totally understand her desire to ACTUALLY return to her children whom she's missing and vice-versa. normal. she deserves better projects. no offense to Rajni uncle...though i found his offer a tad lame.
"He seriously should stop playing the younger dude! It so doesnt fit him!"
That's not what the cash registers say!!!!!!!!!
"rajni needs a therapist...."
Why??? for wanting someone to act as his mom in a movie??? in that case, all movie sons should be seeing therapists.
Now she misses her sons? What a poor excuse for a mother!
let us not discuss tha age factor. madhuri said no because making a film takes a year or greater and she would not be able to give that much time away from her family. The show she is doing is for 3 months, she can fly back to the states after that
good for madhuri....she shouldnt play his mother...eww disgusting.
madhuri deserve better role than that.
madhuri is a legend n she can still play as an actress leading role why play mother.
they shud ask katrina or priyanka....best choice for rajnis mama!!!!
What a misleading headline. She didn't refuse she turned it down cause she missed her family. Keep it up this way and you'll be working for the tabloids soon!
why doesnt he ask priyanka and deepika to play his ammas?
or even katrina matha?
rajnikanth is messed up he is 100 years old and wants someone as beautiful and 40 years younger than him to play his mom?
he is having an end of life crisis!
People paid three times the price of a movie ticket and drove four hours to watch grandpa's movie.
people need to learn manners deepika n aish did the film/are doing as they arent picky, they know its acting and arent dumb enough to turn down a film coz they jus wanna run round trees insulting aish doesnt make madhuri any less gutless. aish needs money lmaoooooooooooooo good one....
she's pathetic.
And why do people keep bringing Aishwarya into everything? Gosh, this should be called AshVilla.
All rajini haters....i agree he is old n yea he doesnt look hot like bollywood hunks...but lemme tell u something...watever he does...he is numero one in pulling the crowds..not just in India..but also abroad...n acting opposite to him....is such a great offer that will make the actor reach to those places whr bollywood doesnt even have access....
c'mon guys..lets not get carried away only by the looks....lets appreciate the substance too...
lol @ comment saying aishwarya did robot for money. oh yeah right, madhuri has been doing free service in the movies for the past many years. And oh yeah.. she's not taking a single penny for her show right?
Movies should be about acting. A 60 year old is ACTING as her son, THAT is called ACTING. Not for real. Plus he is a legend.
Btw, Madhuri is just 6 years older than Aishwarya... it's funny that he wants to romance Aishwarya and Deepika and wants Madhuri to be his mother.. look at the granny persona Madhuri has made for herself... where as Aishwarya can easily pull off both glamourous and offbeat roles.
But the actress turned down the offer saying she was missing her sons and wanted to fly back to US.///
Oh yeah? All of a sudden she remembers her kids after months of being in India for money for her crappy TV show?
Rajinikanth is one of the best stars of the country. Just look at his interviews... the man is amazing. Aishwarya worked with him and cannot stop saying good things about him... Madhuri too would have got the chance.. but she thought acting in a South film would affect her prospects.
Look at Aishwarya.. she worked in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Bengali and English films and that's why she is so popular all over the world but Madhuri is hardly known well in South India but now she lost the golden oppurtunity.
Yuck. This woman is terrible.
rajni needs a therapist....
Madhuri has guts to say no which aish and deepika don't
it like salman playing Dad to rekha !!!!
Rajni with Deepika? Thats so wrong=S
