Recently, in an interview to radio intoxication, Suraj Badjatya gave Madhuri Dixit not to cast in 'Hum Saath Saath Hai'. He said, the fact that I got Madhuri's phone. Madhuri said that I am ready to do this film. I told Madhuri that I was making a male -dominated picture for the first time. If I cast you in front of Salman, the roll is small and if I cast you with Mohanish Bahl, you will be Salman's future. Madhuri is such a wonderful person that she told me that it didn't matter. I would love to work with him. But I said I didn't think this casting comforter.
In the casting of the film 'Hum Saath Saath Hai', Suraj Badjatya further said that Salman was a star at that time. If I had cast Madhuri with her, would the public accept her as her brother -in -law? In this case we have cast Tabu.
