Kareena Kapoor
on the roll
Kareena Kapoor has been an ardent fan of Mani Ratnam and she
claims to have seen all of Mani Ratnam’s films and have watched
‘Roja’ and ‘Bombay’ many times. Couple of years ago she got a
chance to work with him in ‘Yuva’. But it was a small role and
she never hid her dreamed of doing meatier role in his films.
Kareena believes that Ratnam is a director who can extract the
best out of his actors. She proves her point by citing the
example of career-best performance by Abhishek Bachchan’s in
‘Guru’, Mani Ratnam’s latest flick.
And Kareena never thought that her dream would come true so
fast. Mani Ratnam has chosen her to play title role in his next
film ‘Lajjo’ which is an extract of Ismat Chutgal’s story. And
she is extremely thrilled about it.
To double her excitement, in the film she is pairing with Aamir
Khan for the first time. Shooting of the film will begin only by
the end of 2007. She has not shot for a film in a long time,
although she has done a cameo in ‘Don’, she stayed away from the
lead roles. But in 2007 she has returned to action, and is busy
reading scripts and preparing for her role in ‘Lajjo’.
Meanwhile there is a rumour that Kareena has bagged Karan
Johar’s next film with Shah Rukh Khan in the lead.
