At the event, Ravi took to the stage and said, “Uttar Pradesh ki jai jai kaar hui. Jisko kehte the, nai nai Uttar Pradesh nai jaana, waha goli maarte hai, waha shooting nai karenge, heroine log bolti thi. Madhuri Dixit teen din yaha Gorakhpur mein rehke gayi hai. Teen din reh ke gayi hai woh, surakshit, vyavastha. (There was a shout of victory for Uttar Pradesh. Earlier, they would not want to come to UP, saying they shot people; heroines used to say this. Madhuri Dixit stayed in Gorakhpur for three days. She left safe and secure after three days).” At the event, Ravi also joked about how many people turned up to meet Madhuri with dye in their hair, some of whom were even leaking.

Ravi and Madhuri will star together in an upcoming Netflix film, Maa Behen, by Suresh Triveni of Tumhari Sulu-fame. The film also stars Triptii Dimri and Dharna Durga. A teaser for the same was dropped last month, telling the story of a dysfunctional family with a twist. A release date for the dark comedy has yet to be announced.Talking to GM City last year about working with Madhuri, Ravi had said, “Madhuri ji has been such a big superstar, and we’ve all admired her for decades. It’s a great feeling. I had the opportunity to work with Sridevi ji, but never with Madhuri ji — so this is a big charm, saubhagya hai ki unke saath kaam karna (it’s a blessing to work with her).”
