Aishwarya's look in "Heroine"

In director Madhur Bhandarkar’s film Heroine, Aishwarya Rai has taken up a role so bold and glam that even Kareena Kapoor backed off from playing it.

Now, going by the leaked look of Aishwarya Rai from the film’s set, it is clear that the actress plays a glam doll with stylish hairdos and layers of make-up. Ironically, Aishwarya’s look from the film has leaked despite Madhur Bhandarkar’s zeal to guard it. Madhur had banned mobile phones on the sets, lest some crewmember clicked Ash’s photos and leaked it out. However, that is precisely what seems to have happened.

‘Heroine’ has Aishwarya Rai playing a brutally ambitious actress who uses people to achieve fame. Yet, there is a vulnerable side to the character as well. Actor Arunoday Singh plays Aishwarya’s boy toy in the movie.

A source tells us that Aishwarya’s character in the film has the shades of gray, but from start to end it remains an ultra glamorous character.

However, there has been talks of Aishwarya Rai gaining some weight lately. She was spotted hiding her chubbiness in loose clothes at a derby event north of Paris recently.

We’re sure Aishwarya Rai knows how important it is for her to be in shape for Heroine. She won’t mind losing a stone for the role.

The Hero in "Heroine"

Till now Arunoday Singh has done only small films, but he got noticed in every one of them. So, it didn’t come as a surprise for us to know that he is the hunk who will romance Bollywood diva Aishwarya Rai in the much-hyped movie Heroine.

With this confirmation, the speculations have come to an end. Aishwarya gets her hero, and it’s not Abhishek Bachchan as many had expected. Apart from Arunoday Singh, Arjun Rampal is also a part of the film which will be directed by Madhur Bhandrakar.

So, what worked in Arunoday’s favour? He is good-looking, tall and incredibly handsome, someone who can match up with Aishwarya’s pristine beauty.

As per sources, Arunoday was confirmed after much deliberation. According to a source, “Madhur wanted to finish the casting of his film Heroine since the film was announced at Cannes sometime back. However, after much thought, Arunoday Singh has been roped in for the film…”

While talking to a daily, Arunoday himself confirmed the news and said that he is excited about the film and about working with Aishwarya, but can’t disclose much about the project. Sources further claim that Arunoday will play a cricketer who has an affair with a top actress.
