Gupshup

By Kalyani Prasad Keshri
Filmmaker
Madhur
Bhandarkar
is
finally
out
of
his
Heroine
blues.
The
director,
who
underwent
a
hibernation
phase
when
his
ambitious
project
Heroine
was
stalled
because
of
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan's
pregnancy,
has
been
secretly
scripting
another
project.
Bhandarkar
will
reportedly
start
to
direct
the
film
in
the
month
of
September.
Madhur
in
his
reflective
mood
over
Heroine
issue,
started
writing
an
introspective
script,
which
is
complete
now.
The
director
will
immediately
take
up
the
direction
of
the
film
as
this
is
the
correct
time
and
the
experiences
are
still
fresh
and
raw
in
his
mind.
Apparently,
Bhandarkar
was
under
a
lot
of
pressure
by
Heroine's
co-producers
UTV,
to
revive
the
project
right
away.
The
film
was
stalled
when
the
lead
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan
backed
out
of
the
project
due
to
her
pregnancy.
The
makers
were
extremely
upset
with
this
unwanted
change.
Madhur
for
sometime
now
has
distanced
himself
from
the
project
Heroine,
which
has
ultimately
found
a
heroine
in
Kareena
Kapoor.
As
a
therapy
to
recover,
Madhur
will
direct
this
quickie,
which
will
be
on
a
start-to-finish
schedule
and
will
go
on
floors
next
month.
Reportedly,
this
film
is
going
to
be
his
most
hard-hitting
film
till
date.
Later,
in
November
Bhandarkar
will
be
back
to
a
fresh
start
with
Heroine.
