Farhan Convinces Them : Be Professional

Crucial timing

What makes the coming together of these two stars significant, is the timing. Hrithik and Kareena were allegedly involved during the making of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.

The relationship supposedly lasted through Subhash Ghai's Yaadein. But by the time the pair did Sooraj Barjatya's Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon together, Hrithik decided to call off the relationship to save his marriage.

Don ke baad

Farhan, who has already cast Kareena in a key role in Don, offered his sister's film to the actress. After some deliberation, Kareena agreed.

This will be the first time the actress will be directed by a woman. Zoya Akhtar's Hrithik-Kareena starrer goes on the floors in October next year.
