"Madhur Bhandarkar has again denied claims that Heroine is based on the life of Manisha Koirala. The film depicts the life and downfall of a fictional Bollywood character, played by Kareena Kapoor. Bhandarkar told DNA India: &amp;quot;Heroine is not based on the life Manisha Koirala. It is absolutely wrong. &amp;quot;A lot of things had been written about the film before. But all I would say is that I have created a character called Mahi who is today&amp;#039;s girl.  &amp;quot;The film is all about how she witnesses the ups and downs in her life. It will be a different sort of a film for Kareena. It is different kind of cinema... she has never done this kind of a film before.&amp;quot; The director has previously denied that the film is inspired by the life of the Nepalese actress. In November, Bhandarkar suffered a setback after composers Salim-Sulamain asked for a share of royalties from the film. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
