Kareena sounded for a film with Bachchan Jr that could bring the Refugee pair back on screen after a decade.
OMG director Umesh Shukla has been in a casting dilemma for a while now. His next film, the Bhushan Kumar-produced Mere Apne has an actor in Abhishek Bachchan, but who will be paired opposite him in the family-drama was a mystery.
But now, Mirror has learnt that the director had approached Kareena Kapoor on Thursday. After an intense hour-long meeting Bebo seemed quite excited and according to sources, she is seriously considering the project. A script-narration has been scheduled for Monday.
If the project works out with the actress, it will see Kareena team up with Abhishek Bachchan after a decade. Interestingly, both the actors debuted together in Refugee but have worked only once ever since -- in Sooraj Barjatiya's Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon in 2003.
It was rumoured that Bachchan Junior's split with his fiance Karisma Kapoor the same year had embittered relations between the two families and they were not in the mood to be civil to each other ever since.
Mere Apne also has Rishi Kapoor playing the role of Abhishek Bachchan's father. The film will be shot in Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim, and London.
