Aishwarya-Bhandarkar tie up for ?Heroine?

“In India I am known to make women centric cinema and the real cinema. This is for the first time that a full film on the life of an actress is made but it has nothing to do with the Bollywood or Indian film industry,” Madhur Banhdarkar said.

“It is about the journey of an actress, the internal life of conflict of this girl who is an actress, a superstar in this film,” he said.

“It highlights the ups and downs in her life and the personal journey,” he mentioned.

?Madhur and me have been interacting for long, I am really looking forward to this creative beauty together,? she said.
