NEW DELHI: Indian film stars Katrina and Ranbir Kapoor surprised all with their solid portrayal of youngsters who are forced to join politics owing to circumstances.
Kareena is all set to follow into Katrina’s footsteps as she too has been approached by Farhan Akhtar’s production house Excel Entertainment for a political drama. Filmmaker Sudhir Mishra who gave Kareena ‘Chameli’ has been roped in to direct the film.
Will the critically acclaimed actress-director pair be able to revive the magic of Chameli? Sudhir Mishra confirmed the news saying, “Yes, we have approached Kareena Kapoor for my forthcoming film to be produced by Farhan called ‘Bhrub’.
The ‘Devdas’ remake I was planning didn’t work out as the script I wrote became something else. That script went on to become ‘Bhrub’. Bhrub happens to be the name of the central character around which the film will revolve. It’s about a man who’s an heir to a political family.
Kareena will play the female protagonist. She has an equally important role to play. As far the male lead is concerned, we have few names in mind but that will happen once Farhan gets free post the shooting of his ‘Don 2’. We will sit together and brainstorm.”
Sudhir added, “Kareena broke free from commercial films in ‘Chameli’ and that was when people realized the potential that was hidden inside her as an actor. I intend to do that again as she hasn’t been exploited enough as an actor considering her immense talent.”
Rumours of Abhay and Farhan being considered for the role opposite Kareena are doing the rounds.
