KAREENA upset with DP & SRK keen to cast DP Pg 6

Kareena upset about Deepika spreading rumours that she was original choice for a track in Ra. One

Having an actress pitted against another has become the rage nowadays. The latest lass to bite the bait is Deepika Padukone, who has Kareena Kapoor in the opposite end of the ring.

Says a source, " Recently, Dippy has been telling anyone willing to hear that she was the original choice for the Chamak Challo dance number in Ra. One and that producer Shah Rukh Khan had her in mind for the item number. And that Bebo threw a fit when she heard of it. Kapoor is upset and feels Dippy is only doing this to gain mileage from the Dum Maaro Dum title track." A source close to Bebo insists, " Chamak Challo is not even an item number. Kareena is the film's heroine and the song is part of the story so how can Deepika even be considered? These rumours amuse Bebo. DP may be spreading this rumour as her DMD track isn't the hit it was touted to be." Ra. One director Anubhav Sinha says, " We never approached Deepika for an item song. Chamak Challo is an integral part of the story.

Not too long ago, Katrina Kaif was supposedly pitting herself against Bebo, who shrugged it off even then. The ' catfight' died a natural death.
