Priyanka Chopra admits Madhur Bhandarkar offered his most ambitious project 'Heroine' to her, but she couldn't accept it due to its streak of similarity with 'Fashion'. However, she is sure Kareena Kapoor will do full justice to the role.
'Madhur and I did talk about 'Heroine'. For me, however, it would have been like a Bollywood version of 'Fashion'. Kareena is the perfect choice. She's such a brilliant actor,' Priyanka told ETC's 'Bollywood Business' host and trade analyst Komal Nahta on his show.
'As a filmmaker, Madhur brings out the best in any actor, and Kareena's such a superior one,' she added on the episode to be aired Wednesday.
Both the actresses shared the screen in hit movie 'Aitraaz'.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was the original choice for 'Heroine', which narrates the journey of a once successful film actress whose career is on the decline.
Bhandarkar had begun shooting with Ash, but the project was put on hold when the actress' pregnancy was announced. Later, several rumours about the replacement made their way. However, Kareena was zeroed in on as the final choice.
The 'Heroine' team is already shooting.
As for Priyanka, she is busy promoting her upcoming film 'Don 2: The King Is Back', in which she plays Roma or 'Jungle billi'. The film releases Friday.

No Priyanka...YOU are the perfect choice for "Heroine" and plus you did an amazing job in Fashion! keep up the good work! and please do the movie Heroine!!!! :)
Priyanka didnt bash Kareena here!! so wats ppl's issue?... seriousliii get a life..and learn to live in peace instead of bashing actors!!.. especially when we have no idea wat really goes on behind the scene!!.. i guess ppl would have liked it better if Priyanka would have spoken in an ill mannered about kareena?:S...
i love kareena these days she is just wooow, and i love priyanka's msg abt her role in her film, i dont think that aish could so it that much better then kareena can, love piggi and bebo
Does it really matter which actresses were offered this role??? In the end, Kareena got it and that is what matters. If Madhur Bhandarkar offered this role to Aish OMG what was this guy thinking by offering her this character??
@ 4169.. If reporters do their best in getting news up n vorrect . Sometimes mistakes happen but thats no reason to take it do seriously relax plus this was written by ians an affiliate of IF and we have no control over what they publish
wasnt ash the first choice??
kareena was the original choice...don't know whether its priyanka aur the media that is spreading such rumours...i am shocked about pc's statement
I thought the script was written with kareena in mind. Atleast that's what Madhur Bhandarkar said when the talks about the movie first came out.
wasnt kareena the original choice for heroine??
Bebo rox,I'm sure she'll do great.
