“Heroine” delves into the behind-the-scenes lifetime of an actress within the Indian film industry and the primary poster of the film itself is self-explanatory. It indicates where the glitz and glamour of the film world can take an individual.
She displays the variety of a Bollywood actress in another poster, by which it kind of feels she has gone back to her “Chameli” and “Chammak challo” avatar. She looks chic in a unique, red sari teamed with a daring, blue net blouse. The look is for an item song titled “Halkat jawaani”, and may be harking back to Vidya Balan’s look from “The Dirty Picture”.
The film’s plot itself is a reminder of Bhandarkar’s National Award-winning film “Fashion”, which uncovered the dark reality of the Indian fashion world and the fate of models who taste success and their gradual downfall.
Will “Heroine” be a mixture of “Fashion” and “The Dirty Picture” is something viewers should wait until its release Sep 21.
Bhandarkar had launched “Heroine” on the Cannes International Film Festival last year with Aishwarya Rai because the lead. But later, the actress needed to opt out of the project after she became pregnant.
Kareena stepped in to essay the role, and he or she is claimed to have delivered her best up to now within the film. – IANS
