Marilyn over Madhubala for Bebo

Eva Gardner, Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe and Vivien Leigh — these are the four legendary Hollywood beauties whom director Madhur Bhandarkar will use as reference points for Kareena Kapoor’s character in Heroine.
To make her job easier, Madhur has prepared a 3-hour documentary on these Hollywood greats.
But no female legends from Indian cinema find mention in the documentary.
Counters Madhur, “Take Vivien Leigh — her stormy relationship with Sir Laurence Olivier is so eventful, dramatic and romantic.Unfortunately there’s no substantial footage on Madhubala or Meena Kumari revealing their relationship with Kishore Kumar and Kamal Amrohi respectively.”
The filmmaker says he is appalled by the lack of even written records about Indian screen legends. “I do want Kareena to refer back to our great actresses like Madhubala, Nargis and Nutan.
I think Kareena has elements of Nutan’s personality. But I can only brief her verbally about them. It’s really sad.
Kareena is shooting for Ra.One and Gol Maal 3. Once she’s done, she will watch the documentary repeatedly,” says Madhur, adding that the shooting of Heroine has been pushed to December so that Kareena gets time to study the documentary carefully.
