Sushmita Sen, Ram Madhvani To Reunite After Aarya 3; Latter Says 'It Took Me 8 Years...' | Exclusive
Ram Madhvani drops big hints about developing a script for Sushmita Sen beyond the world of Aarya. He also lauds her for bouncing back post her heart attack.

Ram Madhvani collaborated with Sushmita Sen for the first time on their debut web series, Aarya, which proved to be a game-changer for the director-actor duo. The third season of the critically acclaimed web series released recently and has been bagging heaps of praises. And now, Madhvani is all set to take his collaboration with the former Miss Universe a step further. In a recent chat with News18 Showsha, he exclusively told us that he is in the process of developing a script beyond the world of Aarya and is planning on narrating it to Sen.

While he remain tight-lipped about the project, he said, “Yes, there have been conversations. I want to work with her again. There’s something in my mind and I’m waiting for it to cook a little further. A lot of what I cook takes a long time (laughs). It took me eight years to understand what I was making with Aarya. Let’s wait and see and hope what happens.”

Though excited with the thought of directing Sen again, the Neerja director is prepared for her to turn down the offer. When prodded further, he shared, “Sushmita has the power to say a yes or a no. I’m hoping that she’ll agree to what I’ve written when I go back to her. A lot of the time, it depends on where she is in her life. She has the power to green-light me and it’s not the other way round.”

Madhvani and Sen are currently basking in the success of Aarya season three. But its shoot was no cakewalk. Earlier this year, she suffered a heart attack during the filming of the show in Jaipur. In a video, she later revealed that she got a stent placed following 95 percent blockage in her main artery. However, she returned to the shoot soon after her angioplasty and even performed all the stunts on her own.

Lauding her courage, Madhvani remarked, “I’m relieved, happy and amazed in a way about her strength and resilience. We know how she is. Two weeks after the incident, she was back and doing a fashion ramp show! That was quite incredible. Hats off to this lady! Whatever she says, she puts out there. I’m just grateful that she’s back and is doing okay.”

Speaking to us earlier, Sen revealed that the health scare has made her ‘more fearless’. “I’ve become very aware of the fact that there’s a bigger purpose that I’m here for. That’s mostly what has changed. I used to take life for granted. I’m aware why I’m still here given the episode that it was,” she said and added, “It was a phase and it passed. I’m very lucky to be on the other side. It doesn’t make me fearful now, instead I now have a feeling of promise, of something to look forward to. When you get a new lease on life, you respect it and are more careful.”

Aarya 3 is currently streaming on Disney+ Hotstar.
