Madhur: ‘Heroine’ will be a shocker

Director Madhur Bhandarkar who is known for making films such as ‘Page 3,’ ‘Corporate,’ ‘Fashion’ and his most acclaimed film ‘Chandni Bar’ assured that fans of his movies can expect to be absolutely shocked when they see Kareena Kapoor in his upcoming project ‘Heroine.’

At a recent event, Madhur said that Kareena plays Mahi Arora in the film who has a very modern outlook, has no inhibitions when it comes to doing all that it takes to reach the top in her profession, is in every sense of the word bold, beautiful and ambitious. He also expressed that he had great confidence in his leading lady and believed the role could be a milestone in her career. He further revealed that ‘Heroine’ was about 25 percent complete, the remaining parts would be shot by April and that the film would hit theatres around September.

Yeah we are certainly looking forward to it. Kareena Kapoor is one actress who can act & she’s not at all over-rated. I’m glad she is the one who’s playing the role.

Aishwarya's "Heroine" Shelved Entirely

After the announcement of Aishwarya Rai's pregnancy the world is over joyed, however, Madhur Bhandarkar has been conducting meetings with Ash and Ronnie Screwvala regarding the filming of his film "Heroine".

Apparently, it is a movie on the life of Marilyn Monroe and Aishwarya was supposed to play the sexy role. However, with her getting pregnant, she could only give 65 days to shoot the film since her baby is due in November.

Thus, after lots of discussions Madhur has shelved the entire project because he needed at least six months to complete the movie. Also there were scenes where the heroine was to be seen under a waterfall, smoking cigarettes and look extremely hot. Keeping the demands of the role, Madhur knew Aishwarya won't deliver as per the need of the role and so for now "Heroine" has been shelved.

Madhur has already started working on two other projects without wasting any more time.
