Heroine Modelled on Nadira?
There are reports that a new supporting character on Madhur Bhandarkar’s Heroine is based on the life of the yesteryear actress, the late Nadira. He is looking for a 70 to 75 year old actress to play this Bollywood diva, who retired to live a reclusive life.
A source says, “Madhur Bhandarkar has changed the character’s name, but she is clearly modeled on Nadira. It’s a role of a yesteryear actress, who led a lonely, isolated life, without family and friends. She simply relived her glorious days as a screen queen with people who visited her. It’s the frightening face of Bollywood – the other side of the glamour business, much after all the star attention fizzles out.”
Nadira’s scintillating performances in Shri 420 and Aan, made her the sex symbol of the 1950s.However, many leading female actors of those times have either passed away or have taken ill.The latest report says that Madhur is contemplating talking to two of the divas from the glorious period, Nimmi or Shyama to reprise the role. Looks like the veteran may just steal the limelight away from Ash.
