Bollywood diva Madhuri Dixit has verified that she will play the lead in Vishal Bhardwaj's "Dedh Ishqiya".

Directed by Abhishek Choubey, "Dedh Ishqiya" is a sequel to 2010 film "Ishqiya", which starred Vidya Balan, Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi.

"Hey guys, back in action. On set for Star's 'Life OK'. Am doing 'Dedh Ishqiya' and 'Jhalak...' is right around the corner. More to come! Thanks for all ur patience and support!," she wrote on her Twitter page. The sequel retains Naseer and Arshad in important roles.

In 2007, Madhuri, who is married to US-based Sriram Nene, was seen in the film "Aaja Nach Le", after which she shifted back to the country. The actress returned in 2011 to be a judge on dance reality show "Jhalak Dikhla Jaa". And later decided to shift permanently to India with family.

This will be Madhuri's first movie after shifting back to India.
