Aishwarya Rai's pregnancy news made everyone happy except Madhur Bhandarkar.While the actress had given a commitment to him that she would complete her film,'Heroine' ,the unit is trying to find a way of fitting a pregnant Ash into the script.While Ash will complete her shooting commitments and then take a sabbatical from work, Madhur is apparently more worried about her look in the film. "The buzz is that Ash is four months due and right now looking as slim as ever but she will put on weight in another month. So Madhur's dilemma is about fitting in a pregnant Ash into the script as the story is a hard-hitting and realistic take on an actress's life. Based on the life and times of Mahi, a B-Town superstar, the film is a behind-the-scenes account of the reality behind the world of glitter and glamour. It is a challenging role because the story of the film goes through several periods of Mahi's life."
Apparently, one way of Madhur's fitting a pregnant Ash into the film is asking her to put on weight for the character. "Ash has been asked by the director to put on weight for some of the scenes of the film during her low phases as her character in Heroine goes through various phases. There is a phase where she is very insecure about her position in the industry so she takes to alcohol. Obviously, when you start drinking you start to puff up and gain weight. That's one way of Madhur's trying to weave Ash putting on weight in her real life into the film."
