I am an honest filmmaker and I stand by the kind of work that I have done in my career. What I showed in Heroine is 95 per cent true. But the same people appreciated me and my work when I made it on other fields.

According to them, I had taken a lot of things from real life. “When I made the movie, people in the film fraternity got very upset with me. Madhur claimed that Heroine rubbed a lot of people in Bollywood the wrong way. I have shown in the film what actors go through, how they fight their own battles, the PR things and all.” In an interview with The Times of India, Madhur said, “After Sushant Singh Rajput’s untimely demise, people on social media are telling me whatever I had shown in the movie Heroine is true. Starring Kareena Kapoor Khan in the lead role, Heroine showed the manipulations of PR machinery and how leading ladies’ roles are chopped on the demands of the leading men, among other things. Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar, who gave a glimpse of the inner working of Bollywood in his film Heroine, said that he faced a lot of resistance from the film industry after its release.
