Heroine not about Manisha Koirala: Bhandarkar

By Hindustan Times

Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar has rubbished reports that his film Heroine is encouraged by actress Manisha Koirala's life.

"#Heroine's not inspired by Manish Koirala's life. It is a figment of imagination. People should check facts before creating such stories," Bhandarkar wrote on his Twitter page.

It was reported that the film, starring Kareena Kapoor within the lead, was inspired by the ups and downs in Manisha's personal and professional life.

Heroine is certainly one of Bhandarkar's most ambitious project, which have been plagued with hurdles. The director was left in a fix after Aishwarya Rai backed out of the film as a result of her pregnancy, and then Kareena was roped in.

Later the movies dialogues went missing after dialogue writer Niranjan Iyengar's laptop was stolen from his car.

Thankfully, the film is now on track.
