The upcoming Kareena Kapoor starrer Heroine, directed by Madhur Bhandarkar, has run into trouble in the Middle East. Madhur, who till date has enjoyed an overwhelming success rate when it comes to his films in the UAE, may just have to rephrase a certain dialogue in Heroine. The reason? The first promo of the film has triggered off a controversy with Kareena's dialogue, where she accuses the media of holding preconceived notions about actresses by saying, "Heroine ne gaadi li toh business man ne gift kiya... aur God forbid Dubai gayi, toh uska rate card ban jaata hai." This particular dialogue hasn't gone down too well and has hurt the sentiments of people in the United Arab Emirates.

Apparently, the media in the Emirates has not taken too kindly to the dialogue accusing Bhandarkar of 'ignorance' and said that the immoral reference to the city was not required.

However, to appease the sentiments, the makers have collectively decided to change the controversial dialogue in the copy of the film that will be screened in UAE. Reportedly, it is said that the word Dubai will either be muted or dubbed with a suitable alternative.

I dunno why they're getting upset. It's the truth. Did people in UAE think that Dubai is a innocent place of worship or something?

Not only rate card, prescriptions, & other things are also made when an actor goes to Dubai.

Wasn't it some blind item in this forum itself where it was written that Bipasha Basu was spending some 'quality time' in Dubai with someone?

The media publish the amount of money an actress takes for being an escort. 😊

It means that people there are hiring them (read: high class escort)

Literally translated it means:
If a heroine goes to Dubai, her rate card is made.
It refers to prostitution..her rate card = how much she'll charge to sleep with people there. It's relating to the sterotype of how Dubai is a hub for prostitutes and all.

I dunno about Bips. But there was rumors of Karisma doing this forced by her mom. It was claimed that this broke up her engagement with Abhi.
