Madhur Bhandarkar and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Madhur Bhandarkar and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Oopsy! Looks like Madhur Bhandarkar has had to go back to the drawing board for his dream project Heroine. Ever since Aishwarya Rai Bachchan dropped out (due to limited shooting dates since she has a baby on board) he’s had to fly to Hyderabad to narrate the script to Kareena Kapoor. A source close to the director claims, “The production house, UTV, has a major hand in the move. They’ve spent Rs 50cr on the film’s publicity and aren’t willing to shelve it. Both Madhur and UTV spoke to Bebo and she agreed to a narration.” Even though Kareena was always his first choice things didn’t work out for either of them due to “creative differences” apparently she didn’t dig the script because it resembled her real life affair with Saif Ali Khan. Hmm, really? I find that kinda hard to believe, you?
P.S. Is it terrible that whenever I think of Saif and Kareena, I think of his ex-wife Amrita Singh and the first image that comes to mind is her doing the bunny hop with Sunny Deol to Jab Hum Jawaan Hoge from Betaab?
