Kareena to prep up for Prakash Jha's Satyagraha
By Subhash K. Jha, Dec 12, 2012 - 10:09 IST

Every director who has worked with the camera-friendly Kareena Kapoor knows she is a slip-in-slip-out actress who doesn't believe in preparing for her characters.

That is about to change. For the first time in her career, Kareena Kapoor would be following an elaborate preparation plan for Prakash Jha's Satyagraha.

Most of our actresses are not well-informed on current political trends. That's about to change. Kareena Kapoor will have to get into her journalist-activist's character's mind for Satyagraha. Playing a character modeled on CNN's super-scribe Christiane Amanpour is not going to be a cakewalk for Kareena Kapoor.

Prakash Jha, we hear, has worked out a grueling regime for Kareena which includes "getting into the mind" of the activist-journalist.

Says a source close to the project, "Kareena would have to become thoroughly familiar with present day political affairs. And that doesn't mean just newspaper headlines. Prakash wants her to become sensitized to India's contemporary politics. Her character is a fiercely militant investigative journalist. For her to look credible Parkash feels the words about present day politics and politicians should not come from the script. They should flow naturally from the actress' sensitivities as an Indian."

Apparently Kareena's preparation for the part would include going through the rigorous research material that Prakash Jha has accumulated for Kareena's character.

Says our source, "Kareena would be addressing issues that go far behind contemporary politics. She requires to project the inner political conviction and ideological strength of Shabana Azmi. For this Kareena would have to change her working method. She normally gets familiar with her lines just before a shot. ForSatayrgaha she would have to spend time understanding the genesis of her character's thought process before being able to express it properly."

I didn't know Prakash Jha makes his actors research their roles. Should be interesting to see bebo get into a role since she probably doesn't know anything about politics lol. But I guess it's good Prakash is having her do research on her role. Am positive she will be beyond brilliant in this film.

Am excited to see her in this film over the film she's doing with Punit. Amitabh being in this film is also double the treat.. two powerful performers in one film.. can't freaking wait!!!!

here we go again..

" For the first time in her career, Kareena Kapoor would be following an elaborate preparation plan for Prakash Jha's Satyagraha. "

for the first time ever, Kareena will do this, she will do that...every film promotion. Can't believe how much Halkat was promoted. The biggest item song number, Bodyguard projected as the love movie of the year, etc 🥱


"Most of our actresses are not well-informed on current political trends. That's about to change. Kareena Kapoor will have to get into her journalist-activist's character's mind for Satyagraha."

Yep, we all know what a trend-setter our Kareena is. Always leading, never following 😆 She's one of a kind in ground-breaking roles. 😆

I don't think this article is trying to compare her with other actress in terms of "for the first time" or trying to say shes setting a trend.. They're saying she herself for the first time is preparing for her role. Which is a bit exaggerating..because I think she did roles before where she had to research ect

^ that's what I meant, exagerration. Like heroine being the best role in Kareena's history, etc.

First, best, most...these words are over-used everytime for kareena's articles. I sense PR work.

Yes this sounds like a PR article lol esp since who else would know what she's doing to prepare for her roles other than her PR.

But than I feel they exaggerate to create interest among readers.

^ but that always backfires, at least in the last few instances. I think the best tactic would be to be subtle.

Some of her PR work does overhype stuff but in my opinion this article is fine.. I don't think they extremely exaggerated.. I would say they did if they mentioned she would be the best journalist you will ever see onscreen ect .. all they talked about is the research she's doing for the film.. and a lot of articles about other actresses/actors I have read talk about the research that goes into their role.
