Bebo was always my first choice : Madhur

The shooting for the much anticipated movie Heroine started over this weekend in a grand style as the director and actress walked through the red carpet for the first scene. Kareena and Madhur came in the same vehicle for the shoot and it was a flash attack on to the duo when they arrived.

Bebo calls the film "a fascinating insider's account of a leading lady's life". She adds, "Madhur has touched on some aspects that have never been explored on screen before.'' Ask her if she was offered eight crores for the film (including a share in the profits) and she clams up. "I've been rewarded with a role of a lifetime. Everything else is a bonus,'' she insists. 

For Madhur, just the fact that Heroine has gone on the floors is a happy moment. "We've started work in right earnest,'' he says. "Our target is to make a hard-hitting, mainstream commercial film that will shock and entertain.'' Known for his beautiful chemistry with the leading actresses in the industry was equally excited to work with Kareena and he expressed himself as "Working with Kareena is a dream come true. She was always my first choice.'' 

Heroine, a UTV Motion Pictures and Bhandarkar Entertainment co-production, has Manish Malhotra designing for Bebo and music director duo Salim-Sulaiman scoring the music. Arjun Rampal, Randeep Hooda and Shahana Goswami also star in the film.

The project also marks 10 years of Madhur's critical and commercial success. In the span of his career, he has bagged 11 National Awards. "But Heroine is my biggest film,'' he says. "I'm delighted that I'm making this film with this production house. We made a fabulous team for Fashion and we're happy to be taking this beautiful relationship forward.''
