After Aishwarya Rai’s pregnancy the dream project of Madhur Bhandarkar ‘Heroine’ got shelved. But now the movie will be revived as Kareena Kapoor finally has given her approval to the project.

On Monday, UTV's CEO Siddharth Roy Kapur and the writer of ‘Heroine’ Niranjan Iyengar flew down to Hyderabad to meet Kareena Kaif who is currently with her beau Saif Ali Khan who is shooting for his movie ‘Cocktail’ with Deepika Padukone in Ramoji Rao film city.

The meeting between the trio was fruitful as Kareena Kapoor finally agreed to do the project but on her own terms.

"Kareena has consented to the snorting, drinking and smoking scenes. Earlier, she had strong reservations against them. Now, she just doesn't want to do the explicit lovemaking scenes with Arjun Rampal and Sudhir Mishra's discovery Arunoday Singh. Those scenes are extremely sexy and Kareena is just not comfortable doing them," informed a source.

"Iyengar is very close to Kareena. He knew that this time he would be able to convince her. Both Kapur and Iyengar were very happy after the meeting. They were beaming. Madhur too was happy to learn that Kareena has agreed to do the film”, added the source

Interesting Kareena Kapoor was the 1st choice for the movie but Madhur Bhandarkar was adamant to make any changes in his script. But now he seems to not want to miss the opportunity to revive this dream project.

"What can be better than getting your first choice back in the project?" quipped the source.

At first the rumors were that Aishwarya Rai would commence shooting the project after her pregnancy but the insider said it wasn’t commercially viable for the makers to postpone the shooting for a year.

Kareena Kapoor, Madhur Bhandarkar and Siddharth Roy Kapur remained unavailable for comments.
