Mumbai:
Madhur
Bhandarkar
is
known
to
mirror
reality
in
most
of
his
films
and
Kareena
Kapoor
says
his
latest
project
Heroine
is
eighty
percent
based
on
real
life.
Kareena
plays
the
role
of
Bollywood
actress
Mahi
Arora
in
the
film
which
revolves
around
the
ups
and
downs
in
the
life
of
a
superstar.
Buzz
was
that
the
film
has
incorporated
many
incidents
from
the
lives
of
actresses
in
the
Hindi
film
industry.
"I
think
the
film
is
80
percent
based
on
reality.
I
have
been
watching
it
while
dubbing
for
the
film
and
I
am
shocked!
After
viewing
this
film,
people
will
know
what
happens
in
the
personal
life
of
actresses," said
Kareena,
who
was
in
the
NCR
to
promote
the
film
today.
After
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan
pulled
out
of
the
film
due
to
pregnancy,
Kareena,
who
was
Madhur's
initial
choice,
stepped
in
to
play
the
lead
role.
"I
am
glad
the
film
finally
came
to
me
as
I
was
keen
on
working
with
Madhur
since
watching
Chandni
Bar.
I
am
happy
I've
worked
with
him
in
his
best
film," said
Kareena.
The
31-year-old
actress
said
she
did
not
have
any
apprehensions
taking
up
the
film
after
Aishwarya
opted
out.
"I
didn't
have
any
misgiving,
nor
am
I
wary
of
any
comparisons.
I
have
played
the
role
my
way,
no
one
has
played
such
a
role
before."
Heroine
has
smoking
as
well
as
bold
scenes
and
has
been
given
an
A
certificate,
which
might
cause
a
problem
for
satellite
viewing
of
the
movie.
Recently,
The
Dirty
Picture
had
to
undergo
several
cuts
in
order
to
be
finally
aired
on
TV.
"I
think
it
is
wrong
to
discriminate
between
films
on
the
basis
of
smoking
or
bold
scenes
and
barring
them
from
being
telecast
on
TV.
There
are
many
other
channels
people
can
turn
to
which
show
such
scenes," said
Kareena.
Heroine
hits
theatres
on
September
21,
which
is
Kareena's
birthday.
