First Look: 15 of Kareena's sexiest shots from 'Halkat Jawani'

Kareena Kapoor must have had a lot of practice making sexy faces for the song 'Halkat Jawani' from director Madhur Bhandarkar's upcoming film 'Heroine'.

Kareena's blue and pink saree designed by Manish Malhotra became the talk-of-the-town and is even reported to be auctioned for a charitable cause.

From winking to belly dancing, Kareena does it all in sizzling bright ghagras and lavani style sarees in 'Halkat Jawani'.

Along with Kareena, the film also stars actors Arjun Rampal, Randeep Hooda and Rakesh Bapat, while Shahana Goswami, Divya Dutta, Helen, Shillpi Sharma, Mugdha Godse and Lillete Dubey will be seen in supporting roles.

Initially, the poster of Bhandarkar's 'Heroine' was released with Aishwarya Rai as the lead, however she had to drop the project due to her pregnancy.

The music of the film has been composed by Salim-Sulaiman and the playback singer Sunidhi Chauhan's voice adds the extra kick to the song 'Halkat Jawani'.

It's safe to say that the two latest trends of Bollywood are 'lavani' item numbers and dark films based on the lives of actresses.

This washboard stomach is definitely worth showing off, what do you say?

Just like Bhandarkar's 'Page 3' that showcased the fake lives of socialites to 'Fashion' which told the tragic story of the rise and fall of a model, 'Heroine' touches upon the life of a Bollywood actress.

In the initial promos, Kareena was seen smoking along with enacting semi-nude scenes, however the Censor Board asked for the scenes to be deleted.

Looking at the trailer, this could be Kareena's boldest role in Bollywood.

The following dialogue from 'Heroine' irked Dubai residents so an edited version of the film will be released in Dubai: "If a heroine buys a car, it's given to her by a businessman, if she goes to LA, she's getting plastic surgery done and, God forbid, if she goes to Dubai, you people make her a rate card."

Meanwhile Kareena is also in news for her wedding with actor Saif Ali Khan and the media is eagerly waiting for the date to be announced.

Can this much-awaited song 'Halkat Jawani' beat the success of 'Sheila ki Jawani', we'll have to wait and watch.

The film 'Heroine' is set to release on September 21, 2012.
