Kareena Kapoor in Maxim

Dream role of Kareena Kapoor is not with her anymore because of Ranbir Kapoor. In Kishore Kumar biopic Kareena Kapoor had apparently been cast to play Madhubala however now since Ranbir is playing the singer-actor-filmmaker, Kareena cannot be paired romantically with her cousin. The producers, UTV, and the director, Anurag Basu has begun to brainstorm over whom to cast opposite Ranbir.

UTV had considered Kareena when Shoojit Sircar was expected to direct the movie as confirmed by sources. UTV shares a great rapport with Aamir Khan who played the lead in their blockbuster, Rang De Basanti, had initiated talks with Khan on the biopic about two years back.
Incidentally, Khan and Sircar did not agree on certain elements and then UTV initiate talks with Shah Rukh Khan however things didn't work out with SRK eithe. Finally Sircar also opted out Anurag Basu took over.

"UTV decided to wait till they had confirmed the actor to play Kishore Kumar before approaching Kareena for Madhubala's role. But before initiating talks with the Khans, UTV had told Kishore Kumar's wife, Leena Chandavarkar, that they had Kareena in mind, they weren't sure if Ranbir would agree. But once he gave the nod, Kareena was out."" according to sources.
Ranbir is all set but suspense remains over the role of Madhubala for Kishore Kumar biopic.

I would love to see them together in a movie, but not as lovers. I can understand how Kareena feels toward her cousin.

OMG I would love to see Deepika playing Madhubala's role. I was watching a movie of hers and I was shocked to see the grace, dancing and acting of hers. Deepika is a great dancer, full of grace, I'm sure she can pull of this role.

I just love Madhubala. Rest in peace to the beautiful queen

No Deepika/Sonam types...Madhubala wasn't that tall and sookhdi pehlwan like them. 😆

Zarine Khan? are u kidding? She can't match up madhubala's talent and beauty. Sorry

Madhuri would be a perfect choice for Madhubala but since ranbir is the lead actor, it's not a good idea.

Also Asin would be a perfect Madhubala

I wouldnt star opposite my cousin in a romantic role, it would definitely feel awkward. I cant even imagine anyone coming close to playing Madhubala, not Kareena, definitely not Deepika or anybody else. Maybe Rani Mukherji? She can speak volumes with her eyes and can also dance good, two things that define Madhubala's style.
