Madhur Bhandarkar didn’t let his dream wash away. His ambitious project "Heroine" will roll soon and that too with Aishwarya Rai in lead. Now, the director can’t stop counting his blessings.
Finally "Heroine" gets its actress. This much-awaited project was riding high on buzz courtesy Kareena Kapoor. Bebo first said yes to the film and later said no. The speculations were rife that the story of "Heroine" resembles her real love story with Saif Ali Khan and also her character required to do steamy scenes in the film, something that was not acceptable to the actress.
After Kareena walked out from the film, Madhur approached Aishwarya with the script. But Ash too had apprehensions about it. So, Madhur decided to work again on his script. The director confesses that he has now ‘structured’ the script keeping Ash in mind.
Madhur regrets not having Kareena, his original choice, in the film but has now moved on. The director reveals, “I feel it is jinxed for me to think of Kareena doing any of my films, as due to some or the other reason, it never materialises.” Kareena was also his first choice for Page 3 and Fashion.
The announcement of "Heroine" will be made in Cannes, says Aishwarya Rai, who will start shooting for it next month. The film will be shot in a single, two-month long shooting schedule.
