FIRST LOOK: Kareena Kapoor 's HEROINE

A Bollywood star, hated for being 'moody, sanki (mad) and overemotional',  rides a wave of success in her career until a dramatic event changes her life completely.

In the three-minute trailer, 'Heroine' Kareena Kapoor is seen in many avatars in the film. Confidently 'manipulating' her contemporaries, ripping apart a journalist at a press conference, steaming up the screen with co-star Arjun Rampal and dancing to the raunchy Halkat Jawani, Kareena Kapoor looks gorgeous and might just already have an eye on the awards.
