| Come June 10, 2011 and a certain heroine will show up to greenlight Heroine. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, that is. Word has it that Madhur Bhandarkar has completely rewritten the script to suit Aishwarya, a fact that the director refuses to comment upon. However, Bhandarkar has denied that Heroine is a "period film" and asserts that it is a contemporary take based on the current Bollywood and Hollywood scenario. When earlier choice Kareena Kapoor had agreed to be part of Heroine, Madhur had given her a documentary based on Marilyn Monroe, Vivein Leigh, Ava Gardner and Elizabeth Taylor, it was assumed that Heroine was possibly a dramatised version of their lives. "People are making assumptions, but nothing is true", Bhandarkar is quoted to have being said. As of now, Heroine showcases Arjun Rampal and Arunoday Singh, though Imran Khan, Prateik and Ranbir Kapoor are also being looked as possible inclusions into Heroine. The mediavine was also abuzz with news that Heroine had ample reference points to real life events in Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's life. A source close to Aishwarya said, "Ash will never agree to do any film that bears a resemblance to her real life." |
