First look: Heroine

Aishwarya Rai, director Madhur Bhandarkar and producer Ronnie Screwvala announced their new project Heroine at the Cannes Film Festival.

The film was all but shelved after Kareena Kapoor, who was Bhandarkar’s first choice, turned down the role. Now, with Aishwarya Rai stepping in the breach, the project has got a new proportion altogether and Bhandarkar thinks the change is for the better.

At the unveiling of the film’s first look at Cannes, Aishwarya said: “Heroine is a film that the team was very excited about and yes I have just agreed to come on board. Madhur has been speaking to me for many years to collaborate together on a film and I am glad we are finally working together on Heroine.”

The film’s first look has Ash posing on a magazine cover with taglines promising shocking revelations.
