Madhuri Dixit to play Draupadi for Prakash Jha

Prakash Jha is going to work with Madhuri on a period film. Jha is also bemused by the rumours that indicate that he was making a movie with Ranbir. “I think Ranbir once said that he has a crush on Madhuri. Somebody must have put two and two together,” says Prakash.
