Madhuri Dixit has done it again. Her interpretation of the character of Chandramukhi in Sanjay Leela Bhansali`s Devdas has sent the entire unit into raptures.At a special screening, she, her family and the unit saw the unedited version of the the film. Was so pleased? "Ecstatic is the word," gushed Mrs Dixit, wiping her tears of happiness.

Madhuri, who was desperate to have a classic against her name much like Meena Kumari had Pakeezah and Waheeda Rehman had Guide, has already planned a five-week tour of the US, her husband`s home, before kicking off her all-India promotional tour for Devdas. But one person who is not only sad but "bitter as hell" is Mahesh Manjrekar, who was eagerly waiting for an opportunity to work with the numero uno in the English version of the Tabu starrer Astitva. He has had to sign on Sushmita Sen instead.

Mrs. Nene backed out of the project at the last minute on the pretext that the role wasn`t exciting enough and that she would rather bank upon Devdas as the film that posterity would remember her by.
