Juhi will be back with a bang!

Following closely on the heels of Dreamz Unlimited and PBDHH, Juhi worked on some projects in quick succession.

The first was her film One Two Ka Four, directed by Shashilal Nair, costarring Shah Rukh.

She shot for the movie during her pregnancy. The demanding Haryanvi accent required for the role proved to be a challenge to the mother to be.

In fact, during one grueling schedule for the film, Juhi was visibly weary and had to be cajoled by old pal Shah Rukh to give the never-ending 'one more last take' to meet her co-star's demanding standards of perfection.

By the time the film was done, her pregnancy was nearing the end of its term.

And if you assume that Juhi is winding up her film career, you couldn't be more mistaken.

While a pregnant belly may be a trifle hard to hide when you're dancing around trees, but Juhi's making up for her absence in front of the camera by her newly awakened business acumen which is working overtime.

Besides actively participating in the production of Ashoka The Great, Juhi is also involved in the new web portal launched in end 2000. srkworld.com promised to be the most exciting 'official' portal run by actual film stars, and Juhi made sure it lived up to its promise by using her drawing skills and artistic judgement to oversee the design and content creation of the site.

She also speeded up matters in Dreamz Television, the software production division of their film company, by taking part in the development of various ideas for television shows and serials.

As of this moment, nothing is known of the details of the division's plans. But the excitement after Shah Rukh's participation in a special episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati has triggered rumours that the star duo might co-host a similar megabucks game show under their own banner.

Juhi, excited about Asoka The Great, says, on her website that she loves the film. "There's a strong love story that runs like a thread through the script. There's also stylish action, and tragedy and lots of comedy. And the visual look of the film is so different."

She adds, "Kareena's given a brilliant performance. I'm sure she's going to be remembered for her role. Shah Rukh is also very good in the film, of course, but I think we've come to take that for granted from him. So my guess is that Kareena's going to walk away with the rave reviews."

She is also excited about the next Dreamz Unlimited film, scripted by Aziz Mirza.

It's not clear yet whether Juhi will or won't appear in it. Or even when the next film starring her will go on the floors.

But she's certainly got her hands full with production, website content management, promoting her productions, mothering, and spending time with her family.

However, that still doesn't answer the first and most crucial question: Is Juhi's acting career is at an end?

The answer is a resounding no.

The businesswoman-superstar might just be making a very wise decision by keeping out of the limelight for a while.

After all, she's building a formidable business empire with Dreamz Unlimited, srkworld.com, Dreamz Television and their other spin offs, accumulating rich profits and solid assets, acquiring greater power and influence in what is deemed to be a male-dominated industry.

And then surely, she'll be back with a resounding bang!

Of course, only time will tell whether she succeeds or not.
