Bebo in Imitiaz Ali's next !

Kareena Kapoor R K Films wants Imtiaz Ali to direct their comeback vehicle with Kareena Kapoor in the lead role. Extremely impressed with Imtiaz's work in Jab We Met, Bebo's papa Randhir Kapoor approached the young director for their next film. Jab We Met has been a high point in Kareena's career. Kareena's performance in the film has been highly acclaimed and she also won several best actress awards for the same film. Our well placed source in the industry said, "Imtiaz extracted one of the finest performances from Kareena in Jab We Met. In fact, soon after Jab We Met, the Kapoors started toying with the idea of having Imtiaz on board. For long, the Kapoors have wanted to revive the R K banner. They thought of Imtiaz (he had earlier directed Socha Na Tha) who is an original and fine film-maker."

When contacted, Randhir Kapoor confirmed that he had approached Imtiaz to do a film for the R K Banner. He said, "I have approached some directors, and yes, Imtiaz Ali is one of them. I loved his work in Jab We Met and I would like him to make a film for my banner and work with my daughter again. I have told him to get me a script for the same."

"Kareena also wants to work with Imtiaz again. So, it would be really nice if we all get going together," added our source.

Imtiaz Ali

Currently, Imtiaz is busy with pre-production work for Saif Ali Khan's home production (starring Saif and Deepika Padukone). Our source said, "Rishi Kapoor is also a part of Saif Ali Khan's home production. So obviously, he too will be talking with Imtiaz about directing a film for R K Films."

But given Imtiaz's busy schedule for Saif's film, R K Banner will have to wait for some time if they want him to direct their next. Randhir replied, "Obviously, and that's not a problem. We'll talk with Imtiaz again once he is free."

This should also put to rest all the rumours that all is not well between Kareena and Imtiaz. When Imtiaz insisted that he wanted Deepika for Saif's film, there were stories floating that Kareena was miffed over Imtiaz's insistence because she wanted to star opposite Saif in the film. "There is no such displeasure, neither from Kareena's nor from Imtiaz's side. Both are thorough professionals, and if all goes well, they will work together again for Kareena's home production in a few months from now," added the source.

That's good news, Imtiaiz did an amazing job with Jab We Met. Everything in that movie was perfect, from the dialogs to the acting. I hope Imtiaiz and Kareena do antoher film together!

Hope karishmas in the film with kareena too for first time! and as for director main thing is story than just who directs it as well should be good 😊
