Kareena Kapoor's role in Madhur Bhandarkar's next is inspired by the life of controversial Hollywood star Marilyn Monroe

For some time now, we've been hearing that Madhur Bhandarkar's film with Kareena Kapoor is based on the life of a successful actress whose career eventually goes downhill.

Kareena Kapoor

The cat is now out of the bag. Known for his penchant for bringing out reality on cinema, Madhur Bhandarkar's Kareena starrer will be based on American superstar Marilyn Monroe's life. There will be some modifications, of course.

A close friend of Madhur reveals, "Madhur has always been fascinated by Marilyn Monroe's life. He has wanted to make a film on her since a long time, but things did not fall into place. Now, he is completely ready with the subject of this new film.

One can definitely say that film is inspired by Marilyn's life. It may not be an exact representation of Marilyn's life but there will be several elements from the late Hollywood star's life."

"Madhur didn't want to go wrong with this film. Marilyn's life was quite controversial and Madhur didn't want to take any risk by portraying her in a wrong way."

Madhur Bhandarkar

Madhur's friend informs that Madhur is unlikely to go wrong now since he has done a lot of research on the actress. "He read a lot to know as much as he could about Marilyn. More importantly, he also watched many documentaries based on her life.

He approached Kareena to play the lead role only when he was sure that he could translate every aspect of his research into a story."

So how many men come into Kareena's life in Madhur's film? "Five men. He is talking to many male actors to star opposite Kareena," adds the friend.

Marilyn Monroe (June 1, 1926 - August 5, 1962)

Mari lyn Monroe was an American actress, singer and model. She shot to fame when her acting performance in The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve were well received.

She was particularly praised for her comic roles in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Some Like It Hot, The Seven Year Itch and How To Marry a Millionaire.

She had three marriages. She was also known for her romantic involvement with Frank Sinatra and there were also rumours that she was involved with President John F Kennedy and his brother Senator Robert Kennedy at the same time.

The final years of Monroe's life were marked by illness, personal problems, and a reputation for being unreliable and difficult to work with. Her death was officially classified as a "probable suicide".

Kareena Kapoor

finalized for Madhur Bhandarkar's next!
By DC, 29 March, 2010

It's official, Kareena Kapoor is all set to play the role of an actress in Madhur Bhandarkar's new film. Madhur has just signed Kareena for the film and if all goes well, the film will hit the floors by the end of the year.

Madhur and Kareena have been planning to work together for quite some time now. Madhur had first approached Kareena to play the role of a journalist in his film Page 3, however that didn't work out. He had even approached her with the lead role in Fashion. However, things worked out only now. Bebo will play the role of an actress whose shelf life is over and who can't accept the fact that other younger actresses have taken over her.

Um, Kareena mostly hams in glamorous roles, so I've kinda mixed emotions about it. Of course Madhur is a brilliant director, and he'd managed to bring the best out of [almost] every actress he'd work with, so hope he can manage this out.

'All about Eve'..Has anyone seen this Bette Davis classic?The film won 6 oscars including best film ,direction, screeplay..story premise is similar to Bhandarkars...

It is about Margo an ageing actress whose young understudy Eve(Anne Baxter)enters her life and schemes and manipulates her way to stardom..

Read the synopsis here..very interesting indeed!
