New Delhi:
Madhur Bhandarkar's ambitious new project, Heroine, will reportedly be revived with Kareena Kapoor as the lead actor.
The film, produced by UTV, has been officially shelved after lead actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's pregnancy was made public. Certain scenes were deemed to be unfit for the Bachchan bahu, now past her first trimester.
The fiasco led to a pained and depressed Bhandarkar lashing out at Aishwarya, claiming the actor hid her pregnancy and he came to know "like everybody else". The brouhaha has even made the industry debate the feasibility of including a "no-pregnancy" clause in contracts of actors.
No official word is available as yet, but Bhandarkar has reportedly been sending feelers to Bebo, claims a daily and several blogs.
If not Aishwarya, then Kareena and even Priyanka was in the reckoning for a few days till she tweeted and cleared the air. Let's wait and watch who becomes the ultimate "Heroine".
