Karan Johar sets Kajol deadline for Khan

Top filmmaker Karan Johar has given actress Kajol a deadline by which he wants a decision from her.

Kajol is holding up pre-production work on Karan Johar's next flick My Name Is Khan, as she has yet to sign on the dotted line. Kajol has given numerous interviews in which she has stated that she will only agree to star in the film once she reads the final script. However, Karan has said that his script is complete and Kajol has seen and 'admired' it.

Sources say that Kajol might be delaying signing up for the role opposite actor Shah Rukh Khan because she is waiting on her husband Ajay Devgan. Ajay is expected to launch another film, which he will direct after the success of U Me Aur Hum and have Kajol headline it, and might start shooting it around the same time as Karan's My Name Is Khan. If this was to be, then Kajol wouldn't be able to work on two films at the same time.

Karan has now caught up on this delaying tactic and has demanded a decision from Kajol. If Kajol decides not to do the film then Karan might approach Kareena Kapoor, as his second and third favourites (Rani Mukherjee and Preity Zinta) are all tied up with other work.
