Nagesh Kukunoor, Madhuri Dixit on Mrs Deshpande

In a statement, filmmaker Nagesh Kukunoor shared, "Mrs. Deshpande has been a truly fascinating and enjoyable journey for me. As I worked on the script, I saw only Madhuri in the title role, and to have her play this complex character was an absolute joy. The deglamorized look is just the beginning, as her character constantly keeps the audience second-guessing the secrets that she hides behind the million-watt smile. This character is a significant departure from anything the audience has ever seen her do, and I guarantee that they will be blown away by her nuanced performance."Madhuri added that she was eager for audiences to see another side of her, "Mrs Deshpande is unlike anything I've stepped into before. It’s raw, unfiltered, and strips away the glamour audiences usually associate with me. She is the most complex character I've ever played - you constantly feel like you know her till you don't. Playing a character with so many shades of grey has been both exciting and nerve-wracking!"
