Eva Gardner, Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe and Vivien Leigh… these are four of Hollywood's legendary beauties whom director Madhur Bhandarkar will use as direct reference-points for Kareena Kapoor's character in Heroine.
And to make Kareena's job manageable and easily accessible Madhur has prepared a 3-hour documentary on the quartet of Hollywood greats.
But where on earth are the female legends of the Indian cinema?
Nowhere! Woefully Madhur informs that he couldn't get ample or even scant visual material on the Hindi-Indian screen classical beauties to put into the documentary that he has put together for Kareena's ready reference. (If only all our directors were just as helpful we'd have more researched bio-pics).
Laments Madhur, “When I set out to put together a documentary chronicling the lives of the screen legends I was also simultaneously enhancing my own knowledge of them to make Kareena's character of Mahi Khanna more rounded complete and contemporary.”
In fact Madhur has just returned from a trip to Singapore where he discovered loads of invaluable footage on Hollywood greats.
