Nothing ‘dirty’ about it!

Nothing ‘dirty’ about it!

Ever since filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar has unveiled the first look of his forthcoming Heroine, there’s been buzz of the film having a likeness to last year’s The Dirty Picture. And the comparisons have caught both the director and his heroine Kareena Kapoor by surprise. “Yes we were expecting lots of questions but nothing remotely like this, as there’s just no connection between the two,” says Madhur. When asked about the resemblance between the two, Kareena also insisted that both are very different stories. “One was the story of an item girl, Heroine is about a superstar,” said the actor, adding, “It’s silly to even compare the two.” An insider reveals, “People tend to forget that Madhur had already locked in his script way before The Dirty Picture released, so where’s the question of inspiration. In fact, Madhur has been toying with this idea even before he made Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji.”
