Dialogue writer Niranjan Iyengar's laptop that had the script of Madhur's film stolen outside KJo's office
Madhur Bhadarkar's Heroine has met with yet another roadblock. While the filmmaker had once lost his leading lady ( Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) for the project (saved later byKareena Kapoor), this time around, he has lost the film's dialogues. Writer Niranjan Iyengar, who was visiting his good friend Karan Johar on Wednesday, February 22, realised that his laptop had been stolen from his car parked under KJo's office. The writer panicked and went straight to the Khar police station.
Confirming the news, Iyengar told Mumbai Mirror, "My laptop was stolen. All the dialogues of Heroine were stored in it. I have lodged a FIR (First Information Report) at Khar Police Station. Let's hope I get it back but I think that the chances are slim."
Iyengar had been visiting his friend Karan Johar to plan their itinerary for the Jammu and Kashmir schedule of KJo's directorial Student Of The Year. However, with the script of Heroine stolen, the writer will not be able to accompany the crew on their trip up north. "I generally go on the sets of most of my films, but ab kya karten?" Iyengar shrugged.
His major concern now is to re-write the dialogues for Bhandarkar's project. "Now I need to be on the set of Heroine and rewrite the dialogues. I don't have the entire backup. I had emailed a chunk of it to Madhur, so that part is retained. But now, the remaining will have to be quickly rewritten," said Iyengar.
When contacted, Bhandarkar told Mumbai Mirror, "Iyengar has consented to be on the set of Heroine. I am very thankful to him. Whatever happened is very unfortunate."
When asked whether he will be able to recreate the very lines, Iyengar simply said, "Those lines are in my head. There is no reference point, though."
