Heroine - Filled with Surprises and sensuality

Heroine is one movie which is already increasing the anxiety of the audience on what is to happen on screen. Unlike the movies like Dirty Picture, which had the USP of sex and drama - the movie from Madhur Bhandarkar is hiding lot of the plot. The recent videos released shows the most sexy and hottest side of Kareena Kapoor.

Recently Karishma Kapoor who saw the promos of Heroine, says that she is extremely happy about her sister's work. Speaking about Halkat Jawani, which has already been making news Karishma says "It is a wonderful song and the promo of the film `Heroine` is also looking very good. I am looking forward to seeing the movie."

"I feel that `Heroine` will be Kareena`s best performance. In fact, it will be the best," she added. Karishma also mentioned that she will be happy to work with Kareena in a movie if they get a good script to work with.

The recent song - Saiyaan shows how the triangular story works out for 'Heroine', the song shows hot scenes of Kareena with both Arjun Rampal and Randeep Hooda. The shots are done graciously and it is always the touch of reality (not sure how much truth is included!) that makes the Madhur Bhandarkar movies click through the box office. 

Arjun Rampal plays an actor for whom the heroine Mahi Arora (Kareena Kapoor) harbours a crush. There are moments of tender romance between the two, little gestures like them sharing a pizza or filming a romantic scene that all but turns real for her. But for all her desires, he’s just not that into her. 

And there’s also the other man, Randeep Hooda, playing a cricketer. He’s all for the beautiful lady, but her affection for him isn’t equally strong. Once bitten, twice shy, is this heroine no longer capable of loving a man? 

As the post production progresses, the crew of Heroine had decided to make it a special day for the director. Madhur Bhandarkar's surprise birthday party was done in style, "I am either working or out on a family trip on my birthday. It was very sweet of Bebo (Kareena) to give me this birthday surprise," said Bhandarkar, who turned 43 on August 26.

We will see the full magic on September 21, 2012 - till then watch the exclusive set of videos from Heroine:

Arjun mastering Love making?

Does doing it multiple times make you perfect? You know it does, that is why in Bollywood, it is said to learn kissing from Emraan, Romance from Shahrukh, Action from Salman and Perfection from Aamir. We might be adding a new category to the list, love making from Arjun Rampal? - Sorry Randeep - you still have to overcome this hurdle!

Arjun Rampal who did his first love-making scene in Rajneeti claims that he was nervous to start with, he wasn't sure why he is committing to this but later he confirms that he has been cool with the act. Arjun Rampal said, "When I shot my first intimate scene for Raajneeti, I was a little hesitant. I went, 'Oh my god, yeh main kaise kar paunga, yeh main kyu kar raha huun '. But, then I realised it's a part of my job! Now when I shoot for any intimate scene, I just take it in my stride."

He has made such big a stride that now he explains to Esha Gupta how it is done in clam and cool way! Sources confirm that recently Arjun had calmed Esha as she was too nervous during the shooting. Director Prakash Jha, who directed Arjun Rampal in Raajneeti, now thinks that the actor has turned a ‘veteran’ in lovemaking sequences. The director recently shot a bed scene with Arjun Rampal and Esha Gupta for his film Chakravyuh (image on top), and felt that Arjun has come a long way. In fact, Arjun even helped Esha Gupta calm her nerves during the shoot of the intimate scene, which was shot aesthetically in dim light. 

Its not just Chakravyuh, the actor will be seen romancing Kareena Kapoor through a love making scene in 'Heroine' which is his upcoming release. 

However Arjun clarifies his stance "Intimate scenes are done when the script demands. It doesn't make sense forcing it. Earlier sex was a taboo. But now our new generation doesn't take it that way. In my film with Prakash Jha, the intimate scenes are incorporated in the right manner."

Chakravyuh talks about the sensitive topic of molestation of women at work place, so we might see more of hot scenes from the actors in the movie and being a Prakash Jha film, we are sure there might be controversies accompanied!

Preity Zinta's Ishkq In Paris first looks out!

Preity Zinta is a name which hasn't been much in talks except for IPL matches in the past few years. It is said that she was taking a break from her career since 2008. But now she has decided to come back into the very own area which made her where she is now. And the super bang for this return is that she is turning out as producer for the movie. The movie Ishkq In Paris is directed by Prem Soni and will see the actor Rehan Rehan who was earlier known as Gaurav Chanana (famous through his serials and few glances in movies).

Preity's PZNZ media is launching the movie and it will be hitting screens on October 5th opposed to the earlier date of September 21. This seems to be a wise decision to avoid a clash with Madhur Bhandarkar's project 'Heroine'. 

The trailer of the movie is now released (video hero) and you will find a much more stylish Priyanka with a witty set of dialogues. Her acting is just about the same as what we had seen in 2008. And from the occasional visits that she made on screen. Newcomer Rhehan has the confidence to stand tall in front of an established actress like Preity Zinta. Looks like he can manage to pull off a convincing act. Preity Zinta, who portrayed serious roles in her last few films like Heroes and Videsh, is back to playing a fun loving girl, which is a welcome relief.

Actor Salman Khan will also be seen in a cameo appearance in the film. Preity had announced on Twitter: "And Yesss.. Salman will be a part of Ishkq In Paris & I am super excited !!! Wait n watch people 4 all fun cuz for now my lips are sealed!"

"So excited to start ISHkQ IN PARIS soon! Been a long time since I've been in front of a camera. Too long! Time 2 get back into the groove! (sic)," Preity had shared on Twitter.

Director Shekhar Kapoor will be making a special appearance in the film too. He plays the role of French actress Isabelle Adjani's husband in the film. There is said to be Arjun Rampal who makes appearance on screen for the movie. So it will be a fun outing.

We wish Priety all the best for her come back!

Heroine - Trailer release : Impresses many

As Heroine's promos still sizzles through the internet, we, as promised earlier were the first among sites to show you the live streaming of trailer launch and also the trailer as soon as it got released (Videos here). And the trailer did not disappoint many as it was the promised package full of drama, sex and romance. The internet trailer did not have any censors and it just promises what the screens will light up to - on 21st of September 2012 when the movie releases. 

"'Heroine' is not inspired by any one person. The movie is about Mahi (Kareena) and her journey towards stardom and the ups and downs that come with it," says the director Madhur Bhandarkar who was as excited as anyone else. The actress Kareena Kapoor flaunted in a red dress and this must be the style that she carries out to display how outrageous her role will be. 

"I am not saying it is not inspired by Hollywood or Bollywood, there is inspiration. I would say that 70 percent of it is realistic and 30 percent fiction. It is difficult to pin point one person on whom the movie is based," adds in Madhur to avoid controversies. 

Research seems to be the basis for all of Mandhur Bhandarkar's films and the director spoke to many people for 'Heroine' as well. "I have interacted with many people. I wanted to portray today's film industry and its rise and fall," he said. 

The role which had originally fallen into hands of Aishwariya Rai, but she had to quit following her pregnancy. (Older news of Heroine) We had been following the thread since then and the role had gone through many to reach Kareena Kapoor, who now feels bad to have committed for the role. "I had no reservations at the time I was approached but I was shooting for 'Bodyguard', 'Agent Vinod', 'Ra One' and 'Talaash' and I wanted to shoot this film at a stretch. I am happy that they came back to me," Kareena revealed.

"Ever since I was a baby in my mother's stomach, I have wanted to be a heroine. I used to listen to Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit songs on my walkman and dance away in school bathrooms and any place I could just thinking 'mujhe bade hoke heroine banna hai'. Today, with this film, I feel the journey has been fantastic! I am so glad this film was in my destiny," said Kareena skipping over the fact that she had declined the film earlier on.

Arjun Rampal also showered praises for the acting skills  of the actress saying that she has till date, only utilized 35% of her talent - the rest is yet to come. 

Madhur has planned the date September 21st as it will be the birthday of Kareena Kapoor and what better gift that a elite movie.

Mugdha Godse is back in Madhur's camp

Mughda Godse had a flying start to her career when she was portrayed by Madhur Bhandarkar for the most critical of roles. She had done a splendid supporting role to Priyanka Chopra's character. And in light of this she had bagged almost all eyes of critics towards her acting talents. And so far, she has been around with most promising roles and the movies have also done well for her luck. 

When the shoots of 'Fashion' was complete, there was a news that the actress had fight with the director and both had fallen apart. Both Madhur and Mugdha had not commented yet on this and most of the tabloids were writing off any more chances for Mughda to tie up with Madhur. But this is proven wrong as Mughda Godse will be seen in a pivotal role for the movie 'Heroine'. 

“I would love to work with Mugdha again and if I have a role for her I would definitely offer it to her,” Madhur had earlier said when the rumors were spreading that he wont be including Mughda any further. But as the time came in Madhur kept his word and we will be seeing her soon.

Mughda who is said to have been busy with multiple projects is currently enjoying vacation and as insiders confirm it was a much needed one for her,  “Yes, Mugdha’s away on a much-deserved break. She had been shooting non-stop these past few months. So, she decided to take a break before starting the shoots again,” says a source. Mughda is currently in Spain.

And speaking to media, she had confirmed that she was concerned about the banners that she was working in apart from the role itself. “Marketing is as much important today as the real product, so I think it makes more sense to associate with a banner that will ensure that your hard work is showcased right and for me as an actor that is just as important as the remuneration,” says the actress.

Heroine the same as The Dirty Picture?

So 'Heroine' that is said to be the dream project of Madhur Bhandarkar does hide many more surprises and in midst of this the latest posters are getting compared with the Vidya Balan's classic, The Dirty Picture. Most of the readers mention this to be as dirty as Vidya Balan's role and has many more similarities in dressing and poster style.

We are assured that the first promo will be released shortly so we will wait and see how similar it gets, please do tune into http://videos.indiaviolet.com for updates.

Heroine with an 'A' Certificate

The much awaited movie of Kareena Kapoor, 'Heroine' is out from the CBFC with an 'A' certificate in hand. Although the movie was set out to be a universal one, there seems to be few controversial scenes which has made the movie endup with the 'A' certification. But it seems that the makers of the movie ain't that surprised. They seem to have expected this to happen and it just did!

“As expected got a ‘A’ certificate from the censor board,” tweeted Madhur.

The film is said to be inspired by the real goings-on in the film industry, while Madhur has constantly denied Kareena’s character being based on any one particular actress in Bollywood.

The movie also features Arjun Rampal as the male lead and the movie is expected to be a open mirror to the inside affairs of cinema. Madhur Bhandarkar's movie 'Heroine' should also give credits to Aishwariya Rai Bachchan to make the movie controversial even before the release. It was Aishwariya Rai who was supposed to do the lead in the movie, when she got out being pregnant. The issues were fuming but all is well at the moment (more stories on 'Heroine').

With all these said and written, we would really love to see the first glimpse of the movie as soon as it is out. Do not forget to keep tabs on 'http://videos.indiaviolet.com'.

Additional Security Brought In For Heroine

As the movie is completing its final schedule the makers had a scene of Kareena at Veera Desai Road at Andheri, the crowd went out of control during the picturization as it is said that the mob included close to 500 people watching the show. 

“They had found out that Kareena was shooting here. Since we only had her regular security with us, we got a bit worried. That fact that the crowd was trying to inch closer to the sets was scary, but Kareena’s security was of paramount importance,” says a unit member.

That’s when the filmmakers decided to bring in seven-eight additional security personnel. “Within half an hour, the guards arrived on the sets. We didn’t want to take a chance till they got there, so we didn’t allow Kareena to leave her vanity van. It was parked away from the set and was being guarded by a few crew members,” says the source, adding that the actor resumed shooting only once there was ample security to keep her guarded.

“Since the shooting was supposed to finish in about three hours, everyone was confident that things would happen quietly. But due to the chaos, we got delayed too,” adds the unit member.

When contacted, a spokesperson from producer UTV Motion Pictures confirms: “It was an outdoor shoot. But when we saw crowds swelling by the minute, we had to immediately call in extra security to not let things get out of control. In the end, everything was sorted.”

Heroine Promo Delayed?

Madhur Bhandarkar's dream project 'Heroine' was scheduled to release its promos with Rowdy Rathore, which is releasing by June 1st. But it seems that there is difference in opinion and the promo wont be getting released. The official version of the story is that the director has not completed his shoot for the teaser but the insiders speak that it is the difference between the director and the producer that is delaying it. It is said that Madhur had shot the promo pretty much showing the raw side of actors which wasn't good for the producers who felt it should be more conservative.

Madhur is said to have shot the promo with Kareena doing all crazy stuff, drinking and smoking. This is what made objection from producers. Producers now want Madhur to reshoot it with a milder approach to the subject. A source says "Producers are concerned about the censor board approval and if they find any obscenity in the promos, it will naturally be cut off and the promo might not still have the impact that they wish to offer.".

Madhur is now planning on adding in few more scenes to the promo which should still keep the suspense for the movie even if the censorboard decides to use scissors. The producers still want the promo to be released along with Rowdy Rathore, else they will still have to wait longer to attach the promo to a bigger venture.

Heroine is said to be a more closer approach to the real life star styles and it has made Kareena do most of the activities which she is new to. This includes her drinking and smoking - which is said to be a image changeover for the actress. The movie also stars Arjun Rampal, in yet another strong roles and is expected to be a massive hit when it reaches the screen.

We will wait for June!

Arjun Rampal : Strong Roles in the line

Arjun Rampal is all set with his strong characters that he is about to portray, after Rock On, he hasn't done any movie which did not do justice to his performance. He continues to remain choosy about the subjects and he has been backed by the success and appreciation that he receives over those movies. The 39-year old actor who had won National Award for his performance in Rock On, is happy that he is being presented with the variety of roles that satisfies himself and also creates an impact at the audience.

Arjun is currently working on 'Heroine' Madhur Bhandarkar's project and then plans to move to the sets of 'Zanjeer' which is being remade for today. He says he is glad to be have offered a role which legendary actor Pran had made memorable. “It is a cameo kind of a role. I have 10 or 12 days of work in the film. I will be playing the part which Pran saab had done. I’ll try to do it to the best of my ability," says Arjun, he plays the role of Sher Khan in the movie.

“Don’t ask me what it’s going to be because I really don't know about it. I want to do something special for Pran saab because I really loved that role when I saw it as a kid,” he added. We are sure you will pull it up, as he did in Don : the chase begins, where he played the role of Jasjit, which again was played by Pran in Don. He had provided a different touch to the role and he planning the same on Zanjeer. 

After Zanjeer, he goes on to work with Prakash Jha for Chakravyuh, another relevant topic and deals with the ideologies of Naxals and Maoists. “It's a beautiful script. Chakravyuh deals with an issue that is very relevant today — the Naxal movement that is happening within the country. Yes, it is a very debatable, strong and powerful subject,” he says.

All the best with your endeavors!

Arjun, Kareena - The most steamy scene in the making!

Madhur Bhandarkar seems to be pushing the limits for his dream project and the latest news is that he has shot the most steamy shot ever on screen with Arjun Rampal and Kareena Kapoor. The movie 'Heroine' which has already a set of controversies in the bandwagon adds in another page to the story. The steamy scene is reported to be much more 'intensive' than what we had seen in Madhur's previous movie 'Fashion', where he had shot Priyanka Chopra and Arjan Bajwa for the love making sequence. 

The crew of the movie was surprised when the scene was shot in closed doors with 'Director of Photography', a few key assistants, the actors and the film maker himself inside. No one really knows what has happened over the scene but Madhur later commented that "The hot scene between Priyanka Chopra and Arjan Bajwa in Fashion was tame compared to the love-making scene in Heroine." Before signing off he adds, "The Fashion love making scene was vegetarian. This one will create a jalwa."

Kareena Kapoor who in her 12 year long career had done the most raunchy sequence with Ajay Devgn for Omkara seems to be thinking of breaking the rules here. Also Arjun will be seen the most intimate in this movie and he has never done a sequence close to this.

The love making sequence seems to be hitting screens much more often. Although RGV has mastered the art of it with Mahie Gill and his crew of actresses, the trend has been spreading out to leading producers as well. It might be the Vidya Balan factor that really plays. She as an actress had redefined her image with 'The Dirty Picture', where she did do the most intimate love making sequences and kissings.

So Kareena.. bring it on!

Big B to play Bhishma Pitamah

69-year-old star Amitabh Bachchan who is known for his deep baritone voice has lent it to the rock-solid iconic character of Bheeshma Pitamah in an upcoming animated film Mahabharat produced by Jayantilal Gada of PEN India and directed by Rajkumar Santoshi.

Producer Jayantilal Gada said, "Amitabh Bachchan has lent his voice to the role of Bheeshma Pitamah in our animated film Mahabharat. He finished the entire recording in one hour, which was very shocking for us. He has such a command over the language that he even corrected minor grammatical mistakes in the dialogues." 

Jayantilal Gada couldn't stop talking about Amitabh Bachchan's simplicity and generous nature, he added, "He did not charge us for his work. Our entire team is grateful to him. We could not have done the film without him as we can't imagine any other voice for the role of Bheeshma Pitamah.”

The characters from the epic will have voices and looks of 15 Bollywood stars. Apart from Amitabh Bachchan the 150 crore animated movie Mahabharat will have Sunny Deol as ‘Bheem’ and Arjun Rampal as ‘Arjun’, while Sanjay Dutt will play the role of ‘Duryodhan’. The director has also signed Ajay Devgan for the role of ‘Lord Krishna’. It is even said that Aishwarya Rai will enact the role of ‘Draupadi’. 

The animated film Mahabharat will be made in two parts simultaneously and will be released in two separate versions of two and half hours each, because the duration of the film will exceed 5 hours. Even though both would be ready at the same time, the second part will be released at least after a 6-months gap. The movie is expected to release in October.
