Now Saif will be seen as politician in Heroine

Is Saif Ali Khan reprising the role of a suave politician in Madhur Bhandarkar's new movie HEROINE, which, it is rumoured, is based on the life of an American actress? Well, that's the speculation in the industry. "I wish to clarify that HEROINE is not based on the life and times of Marilyn Monroe or any actress. It's a contemporary film. Also, neither have I approached Saif for any role in the film, nor is there any role in my film that could remind anyone of a legendary politician," Madhur states. He continues, "Of course, there are several characters in the film, but the story revolves around Kareena. I've yet to finalize the balance star cast."

While Madhur begins filming HEROINE in October, the prolific film-maker will start shooting DIL TO BACHCHA HAI JI with Ajay Devgn, Emraan Hashmi, Omi Vaidya and Shruti Haasan in July. He plans to wrap the entire shoot by August.
