Imran to woo Bebo

For the first time in both their careers, the two would play lovers in Karan Johar's next

Imran Khan's undying wish to romance Kareena Kapoor will soon come true. On screen of course, lest we've got Saif worried already. A new film, still untitled, will be produced by Karan Johar and directed by Shakun Batra, which will have the duo in the lead roles.

Imran and Kareena would be working together in a film for the first time. Does maamujaan want to give his favourite nephew a few tips?

Our source said, "The film is scheduled to start in December this year and will apparently be directed by a newcomer, Shakun Batra who has recently joined Dharma Productions. Shakun, who worked as an assistant in Rock On!! and Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, has been a friend of Imran's for some time now and it was Imran who suggested his name to Karan. Karan spoke to Kareena about it and she agreed immediately.

Kareena has always maintained that she will do anything for Karan and has never asked him any questions. The film will be an out-and-out love story."


With willing friends working together, and no space left for arguments, the film couldn't but be a love story, could it? As for the leading pair, Bebo and Imran are more than looking forward to act with each other. Confirms the source, "Imran had recently said in an interview that he would love to romance Kareena Kapoor and his wish has come true. And Kareena too has always maintained that she is also keen to work with Imran."

When contacted, Imran Khan said, "Yes it is true that I am doing another film with Karan Johar. The film will be directed by Shakun but beyond that, I can't confirm anything on the casting front. Shakun has been a friend ever since he joined the industry and was a second assistant director on Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. He has written the script with our mutual friend Aayesha.
Karan Johar and Shakun Batra remained unavailable for comment.

Learning to play her cards right

She learnt a lesson from her Teen Patti debacle; Shraddha Kapoor has now signed a three film contract with Yash Raj

Good things truly come to those who wait. Shakti Kapoor's daughter Shraddha Kapoor didn't lose hope after her debut film with Big B, Teen Patti, bombed at the box office. She didn't have to wait long before Yash Raj Films signed her for a three-film contract.

However, Madhur Bhandarkar did lose out in the bargain. When offered a three-film contract with Yash Raj, Shraddha promptly backed out of Madhur Bhandarkar's film, Dil Toh Bacha Hai Jee. Madhur had cast her opposite Ajay Devgn but Shraddha changed her mind at the last moment.

When greener pastures beckon it's tough to stick to commitments. Shraddha explained to Madhur that Yash Raj wanted exclusivity and hence it was impossible for her to work with him. Madhur let the matter go after that. Shazahn Padamsee has now been signed for the role opposite Ajay Devgn.

A source reveals, "Yash Raj has been signing and promoting new faces. After giving a break to Anushka Sharma with Shah Rukh Khan in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, and launching newcomer Ranvir Singh, Yash Raj has now signed a three-film deal with Shraddha Kapoor. Similar to Anushka's contract, Shraddha too will be doing films exclusively for the Yash Raj banner till she completes all her three films."

The source continues, "Yash Raj called her for a screen test and were impressed with her. Talks were on for a while and the contract was finalised a few days ago; she can't sign any other film outside the banner till she finishes her three films with Yash Raj. The tentative male leads decided to be cast opposite her are Shahid Kapoor and Ranvir Singh."

The official spokesperson for Yash Raj Films confirmed the news.

Sanjay Dutt's food fair
Sanjay Dutt has just turned producer. His first film Rascals went on the floors earlier this month. Apart from hoping to hit gold in terms of box office collections, he is apparently looking to change another trend.


Sources from the sets say that on the day of the mahurat, the actor declared that he intends to keep everyone in the crew happy and satisfied and hence they will be treated just as well as the stars. "He declared that unlike on other sets, his set will see all crew — up to the spot boys — properly respected," says a source. "And to ensure that, one of the things he has implemented is that spot boys get to eat half an hour before the stars do. And they eat the same food."

CEO of Sanjay Dutt Productions Dharam Oberoi said, "That is Sanjay Dutt for you. He has always been like that. He is down to earth and always has wanted the welfare of everyone at the sets. He always eats with the rest of the crew. He has been doing this for years. Now that he is the producer, he has taken this decision for the sets of his own film too."

Rascals also features Ajay Devgn and is being directed by David Dhawan. Sanskriti Media and Entertainment
