Kareena to do item number in 'Heroine'

Mumbai, March 28 (IANS) Actress Kareena Kapoor, who has lately been doing many item numbers in Bollywood, is gearing up for her next item song in Madhur Bhandarkar's "Heroine".

"We have a new item song called 'Halkat Jawani' which is a wonderful song that will be picturised on Kareena Kapoor. I am sure the audiences will love this song. This film 'Heroine' will be a different sort of film for Kareena Kapoor," Bhandarkar told IANS.

Directed by Bhandarkar, the film has Kareena and Arjun Rampal in the lead.

The director says 40 percent of the shooting has been done.

"Forty percent of the film has been finished. From (April) 10th, we will again have a nonstop shooting and by September the film will be released," he said.

Bhandarkar also sought to deny speculation that the film is based on Manisha Koirala's life.

"This film is not based on Manisha Koirala. It is absolutely wrong. Lot of things had been written about the film before. I have created a character called Mahi Arora who is today's girl. The film is all about how she witnesses the ups and downs in her life," he said.
