March-ing ahead to Feb

Kareena has alloted Shuddhi dates to Dev Benegal's next starring Farhan.

Hrithik Roshan's resurfacing headaches have caused collateral damage to Kareena Kapoor's date diary. The actress who had reserved 200 days for Shuddhi was taken aback when she heard that the film's first schedule has been pushed back to mid-2014 owing to the actor's ill health.

While Shuddhi's director Karan Malhotra, has taken the hero's sick leave in his stride, Kareena is not ready to sit idle till Hrithik is available after completing Bang Bang. So the actress has now allotted the dates to Dev Benegal's as yet-untitled film which will see her paired with Farhan Akhtar.

Dev who was supposed to start the film in mid-March next year, is speeding up the pre-production. Kareena will now start shooting for the film in February, according to a source close to the development.

This will be Kareena's first film with Farhan and a friend of the actress told Mirror, "She appreciates Farhan's work as an actor and director and saw Bhaag Milkha Bhaag thrice. She is going to spend January preparing for the role. This is Dev's first commercial film and she wants to spend time with the director so that they are in sync with each other's vision."

The untitled film, produced by Farhan and Ritesh Sidhwani's banner Excel Entertainment, will reportedly flag off in Mumbai, followed by a second schedule in Delhi.

Dev, the nephew of Shyam Benegal, is known for off-beat films like The English Patient and Road, Movie.

Farhan Akhtar's Interview

Reports have also claimed that the biopic in concern, called Sahir, is being produced by Bombay Talkies producer Ashi Dua. Kareena Kapoor is apparently being considered to play the part of author Amrita Pritam, as the film is believed to focus on the relationship she shared with Ludhianvi.

Making evident his upcoming plans, Farhan says that his next project by film-maker Dev Benegal, has Kareena paired opposite him. "She is playing the female lead in the film. I will be co-producing it with Dev's company. It's scheduled to go on the floors in March," says Farhan.

Ok Bebo...take 2. Come on, you had a major setback this year, but it's all good.

Lets start again. Time to revamp that imagine and do something beyond what you normally do.

👏

Awesome.

This looks like a performance oriented role, the type which critics love. And Farhan has shown good script sense so far. For my Mom's sake I hope this works out for Bebo. I have a feeling that one really good role will bring things round for her.

I'd like to think 2013 never happened.

Well at least folks do not have to worry about this film going to other actors (like Shuddi and other collabs) because Farhan does not like Deepika much anyway. 😆 hopefully she gets to perform in the film..and things work out in her favor!:)

I dont trust Kareean's script sense at all.

Yes! Now Bebo, please don't screw up this one. 🥺

🥳🥳🥳
