Asin gets 'Ready' to play character inspired by Mads' role in Hum Aapke Hain Koun?

Asin's resemblance to the Madhuri Dixit of Hum Aapke Hai Koun? in Anees Bazmee's Ready is not coincidental. Her character, costumes and even the choreography are inspired.

Sallu's idea

The tribute of sorts was Asin's co-star Salman Khan's idea. Khan feels that the Mads of HAHK is the ideal
woman, the kind he'd like to take home to his mother.



Salman apparently persuaded his director and Bazmi was only too happy to oblige.

Says the director; "There is a lot of Madhuri in Asin's character and presentation. We don't have item songs in Ready but conversational
songs woven into the narrative."

Asin doesn't deny the likeness of her character to Madhuri. "The resemblance to Madhuri did not escape me. In fact, my first duet with Salman was very much like Hum Aapke Hain Koun?."

The climactic wedding song is designed to echo the HAHK hit Didi Tera Devar Deewana.



Asin confirms, "That's true. The entire family joins in song-and-dance while Salman and I get married. If I've managed to capture even a fraction of Madhuri's effervescence, I'll be happy."
