One film, 120 costumes!

The budget for Madhur Bhandarkar’s Heroine is shooting through the roof, and it’s not because the actors are commanding crores of rupees - it is actually the costumes that are proving to be the real bank breaker.

Manish Malhotra is said to have designed over 120 costumes for Kareena Kapoor to wear over the course of the film, worth Rs 1.65 crores!

“The team is working on 120-odd costume changes for Kareena. The ultra-glamorous and

expensive clothes will show Bebo at her best,” says a source. From designer saris to flowing gowns and sporty clothes, Manish has already worked on the various looks and concepts. This is also the first time in the history of Indian cinema that an actress will change so many clothes and looks in one film. Understandably, this has also increased the budget of the film, but that’s not an issue for Madhur. “As a film, Heroine is a prestige issue for him. To showcase his heroine as the

best was his idea, so obviously he isn’t complaining about the budget,” our source adds.

"Karisma is looking better than any of us actresses" - Kareena

If early reports of Karisma Kapoor's comeback film 'Dangerous Ishq' are any indication, this would be very different from what Karisma has done in the past.

As per those who have had a dekko at the rushes, director Vikram Bhatt has taken the film far ahead of his last 3D horror film 'Haunted', which was a surprise winner early this year.

Says a source, "Vikram keeps the narrative of his films as slightly edgy and Karisma too has never attempted a genre like this before. Not just that as she has never worked in a 3D film format either. She too believes this 'Dangerous Ishq' is the right film for her at this stage of her career."

On the other hand Kareena Kapoor too is happy with what she has seen of the film so far and is gleaming like a star-struck fan.

"Now isn't she looking like a million bucks today", gushes Kareena, "In fact Karisma is looking better than any of us actresses on the scene. I have seen some of the rushes of 'Dangerous Ishq' and she is looking simply divine in the film. She has anyways been a fabulous actress and now that she is back on the sets, it is indeed the most exciting phase of her career."

Well, the fans would certainly wish that Kapoor sisters continue to weave the magic for many more years to come.
