Madhur Bhandarkar denies including a cameo on Sheetal in Jail

Yesterday, B-Town was abuzz about Madhur Bhandarkar planning to include the Sheetal Mafatlal episode in his film, Jail. Madhur, who is famous for replicating real-life incidents and personalities in his movies, was said to have cast an actress in the role of Sheetal as a last-minute addition in his film.

However, Madhur denies any such development. "I am being asked all sorts of questions! But there is no truth to this. I have not included anything based on Sheetal Mafatlal in my film."

No scope!

When asked about his last minute addition to the film he defiantly says, "My movie is ready and there are just two days of post production left. How can I make a last-minute addition at this stage? There is no scope for me to do any such thing."

Adding that his film is male dominated he says, "Neil is my main lead and the film revolves around him. It's seen from a guys perspective so there is really no possibility that I will introduce a female character."

Real to reel

Kangna Ranaut's character in Fashion was based on the real-life story of model Geetanjali Nagpal. Madhur stumbled upon the riches-to-rags story of Geetanjali and decided to use it in his film.

Traffic Signal was based on the story of beggars and child labourers at signals. Madhur apparently spent time doing research on how these children led their lives.
