New Delhi: Madhur Bhandarkar's next project Heroine, a tribute to vintage beauty Marilyn Monroe, will have Aishwarya Rai Bachchan playing the lead role, according to reports.

After the long period of indecision involving Kareena Kapoor, the production has finally settled on Aishwarya. While the idea has not been passed through Bhandarkar yet, it seems like the only problem in the actress' casting will be the intimate scenes.

Bachchan has expressed a desire for the removal of the innumerable intimate scenes which are the essence of the movie.
