Kareena Kapoor wore over 130 outfits in Heroine

Kareena Kapoor Khan wowed audiences in the 2012 drama Heroine with both her dramatic performance and her eye-catching attire.

According to reports, the actress wore more than 130 different ensembles in the movie, all of which were created by renowned international fashion designers. Heroine reportedly had one of the most expensive wardrobes ever made for a Bollywood movie, making her on-screen appearance one of the movie's main talking points.

Heroine, written, directed, and co-produced by renowned director Madhur Bhandarkar, provided an unvarnished, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the tumultuous world of entertainment. The narrative centres on a once-dominant superstar whose career starts to go south due to both personal and professional issues.

At the centre of the movie, Kareena played the part of the complicated, emotionally vulnerable actress, and her performance was widely praised for its depth and intensity.

Rakesh Bapat, Randeep Hooda, and Arjun Rampal joined Kareena in the cast, each portraying important characters who impact her character's development. Shahana Goswami, Divya Dutta, Helen, Shillpi Sharma, Mugdha Godse, and Lillete Dubey were among the film's strong supporting cast members, who all contributed to the complex storyline.

Heroine became a fashion standard in Indian cinema in addition to its captivating plot and all-star cast. The movie's costume design was essential in capturing the protagonist's life's transitions, from glamorous red carpet moments to intimate behind-the-scenes moments.

The character's emotional journey was reflected in the range of clothing, and Kareena executed each look with her usual grace and flair.

Heroine, which was released on September 21, 2012, bravely attempted to depict the darker side of celebrity, the pressures of the media, and the frailty of stardom, all while encasing it in high fashion and cinematic glitz.
