Kareena Kapoor
The film will hit the floors in December, and is already making buzz that Madhur is planning to give Kareena a new look. He wants to give Kareena iconic looks of all the Hollywood legendary actresses like Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Vivien Leigh and Eva Gardner. “This is going to be Kareena’s best performance of her life. I can guarantee that. She is a talented artist and she will be in her full bloom in this one,” added Madhur.
This 41 year old director completed his degree in film-making, when he was a video delivery boy. He always wanted to cover women issues and that has been his trademark in the industry. “People in industry are afraid to raise these issues. They think that it would not generate any interest in the audience. But, I am here to prove this notion wrong. All my films have had strong women characters and they have been liked by people,” said Bhandarkar. Talking about his strong female characters, Madhur says that all his heroines have thanked me for their roles. “Every time I meet Konkona she mentions how peope recognize her as Page 3 actress. Same is the case with Bipasha and Priyanka. It is nice to hear such things. I am equally proud to have worked with these actresses,” said Madhur.
However, before he starts shooting for another women centric movie, he is excited about his debut comedy movie Dil To Bacha Hai Ji, which is inspired by Gulzar’s lyrics in the film Ishqiya. He is working with an unusual star cast; Ajay Devgan, Emraan Hashmi and Omi Vaidya. Madhur said that this movie will be a tribute to the famous comedian Hrishikesh Mukherjee and ensures that the audience will be surprised. He said, “Ajay is playing a husband, having constant nok jhok with his wife, Emraan plays a carefree Casanova while Omi’s character is a surprise.” The filmmaker is still looking for heroines for this movie. The audience will now get a taste of Madhur Bhandarkar’s comedy this December.
