Bollywood is now on the spree of looking South, whether it is to get
remake rights or inspiration for original stories. After ‘Dirty
Picture’, one picture that is creating vibes in the tinsel town is
Madhur Bhandarkar’s ‘Heroine’.
Unlike Silk Smitha’s life story, there are stories of some talented
and glamorous Telugu heroines that are more pitiable. One among them is
the story of veteran actress Kanchana. This Telugu woman is an air
hostess before she turned to films in the 60s with forcing from her
parents. From performance oriented de-glam roles to sexy glam kick, she
played a variety of roles with versatility. Later in her career, she
suddenly disappeared from the tinsel town after her own parents took her
complete hard earned wealth.
She fought a legal battle for years and donated the whole property
she had won in court to Tirumala before retiring to a simple life in a
small apartment. Sources revealed that Madhur’s ‘Heroine’ draws
inspiration from this story and later on added few more twists by mixing
the real story of another gorgeous diva, Sridevi. Ravishing actress
Kareena Kapoor is playing the lead role in this movie after Aishwarya
Rai opted out due to her pregnancy.
