It is a known fact that 'jalwa' is one of the most common words in Madhur Bhandarkar's vocabulary. So much so that he dedicated an entire song 'Fashion Ka Jalwa' in the Priyanka Chopra starrer.

Now Kareena Kapoor too experienced this first hand while shooting for 'Heroine'.

"I may be doing a scene and he would just compliment by screaming 'jalwa'. I guess I used to his vocabulary over a period of time", smiles Kareena, "I have made a friend in Madhur and can proudly say that together we have taken this film a step forward over what we had envisioned."

There was further reassurance that came her way from Madhur that kept the motivation level up for her.

Laughs Kareena, "You know what, Madhur has this perception that since he makes these hard hitting films, he would be considered very serious by people around him.

However the fact is that in real life he is so much fun. Moreover he is so positive that makes things so easy on the sets."

With Arjun Rampal and Randeep Hooda in principal roles along with Divya Dutta, Shahana Goswami and Ranvir Shorey, 'Heroine' has music by Salim-Sulaiman and releases all over on 21st September.
