Is Kareena Kapoor’s 'Heroine' poster copied?

Do you find similarities between Heroine poster and the cover of Siddharth Dhanvant Sanghvi's book?

 For all the puffs director Madhur Bhandarkar has been getting for the poster of his next film Heroine, here’s a little dampener.

It appears that the poster that has Kareena Kapoor lolling on a bed has been inspired, if not blatantly copied. The inspiration, as you can see above, seems to the book cover of Siddharth Dhanvant Sanghvi's The Lost Flamingoes Of Bombay.

The similarity doesn’t end here. Even the protagonist of Sanghvi’s book is a film heroine named Zaira. And do we need to tell you that in Heroine, Kareena Kapoor plays a silver screen diva.

The first poster of Heroine was unveiled recently by Madhur Bhandarkar himself and it got positive feedback.

“Thank you for the enormous & overwhelming response for the posters. Promo to be launched online on 25th evening,” Madhur tweeted.

However, the filmmaker hasn’t yet responded to the allegation of the poster being copied.

Comparing the two posters above, though it may not be ruled out that Heroine poster could be inspired, but to call it a blatant copy would be unfair.

The first trailer of Heroine comes out on Wednesday. We will share it with you as soon as it is out.
