It was reported that Madhur Bhandarkar’s film “Heroine”, starring Kareena Kapoor in the lead, was inspired by the ups and downs in Manisha Koirala’s personal and professional life.

It was earlier said that the film is inspired from Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe.

“#Heroine’s not inspired by Manish Koirala’s life. It’s a figment of imagination. People should check facts before creating such stories,” Bhandarkar wrote on his Twitter page.

However, Bhandarkar denied the speculations, saying that his film is not based on anyone in particular.
