Along with the rest of the world, I've been a fan of Madhuri's for close to 30 years, so when I was in a position to create a series for Netflix, I knew that I wanted it to center around this brilliant artist, to showcase her versatility and breadth as an actor who's at the top of her craft. In the role of Anamika Anand, she takes on every shade and enlightens every aspect of a woman - from mother to wife to daughter to lover to superstar. I guarantee you, The Fame Game will be a thrilling ride. You've never seen Madhuri Dixit quite like this before!”
