Madhur Bhandarkar’s ‘Heroine’ has seen many a day in the news even before the beautiful Kareena Kapoor was officially signed for the film. Initially to star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, one would have expected Kapoor’s paycheck to be particularly hefty for what she has said is the role of a lifetime for her. BizAsia can reveal that the actress was paid a colossal Rs 1.5 crore for the movie.

As reported by One India Entertainment, Bhandarkar’s confirmation of the amount was given to a leading daily, “We made the film (Chandani Bar) in Rs 1.5 crores. Today, Kareena alone has charged Rs 1.5 crores for��Heroine”.

He went on to talk about his films having a link to reality, “I am an emotional and fragile person. I observe life, I am perceptive and can read a person’s body language. I have a strong journalistic streak in me, and had I not been a filmmaker, I would have become a film journalist. I have combined my perceptive and journalistic traits to create my own brand of cinema”.

‘Heroine’ is slated for release on 21st September, the same day as which Kapoor celebrates her birthday.
