The film is reportedly based on the life of a Bollywood star and Ash is said to be really excited to be working on the film.

The role was previously offered to Kareena Kapoor who refused to take it up as the script didn't sit well with her.

Madhur Bhandarkar had apparently been keen on working with the actress for a long time and has finally got a chance to do the same.

Like Madhur's previous films, Heroine will cast a look in what goes behind the screens in film actors' lives.
