Kareena's 13 year wait ends
Mumbai, May 28 -- In 2010, he made the critically acclaimed film, Guzaarish. Since then, filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali has not directed anything. But now, he is set to take on the role once again for his next, tentatively titled Ram Leela. Interestingly, Bhansali's new film has also brought Kareena Kapoor's 13year-long wait to an end.
"We have wanted to work together for a while and I am immensely excited. We met for the first time around the release of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999). She was working on her debut, Refugee (2000), then. So, we've been constantly thinking and talking to each other. I'm happy that this has finally worked out now," says Bhansali.
Ask the Devdas (2002) director anything about Ram Leela and he corrects us first, "It's not titled Ram Leela. Let's call it my new film with Kareena and Ranveer (Ranveer Singh). It's a full-on masala movie and is in the Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam kind of space. I am going to have a blast."
Revealing that he was impressed with "wonderful" Ranveer's acting in Band Baaja Baraat, Bhansali adds, "He is a great guy to work with. Plus, with 11 songs and great locales, I feel the chemistry between Ranveer and Kareena is going to rock," adds Bhansali, who plans to take the film on the floors this July.
For the longest time, rumours suggested that Ranbir Kapoor and Sonkashi Sinha were being cast for this project? "Kuch toh log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna (people will keep saying these things, it's their job). There's always some other star cast that's named every time I start a new film. I have always faced such issues with my films. All I have to say is, I have chosen these people, dekho na inko (please see them). What's in your mind is a different matter.'
