Kareena Kapoor It will be more than a year since Kareena Kapoor has signed any new project. She has been replaced in all her films that she had signed earlier. The actress, though, refuses to believe that she is out of work. In an earlier interview to Mumbai Mirror, she stated, "I am Kareena Kapoor and I know that even if I sit home for a year I will get work. I just want to take time off, I have done enough." Well, Kareena might be living in her own paradise, but in reality, the actress is out of work. It is evident from the fact that Kareena has been unceremoniously dropped from all her projects. She has been replaced in Kismet Talkies after Hrithik Roshan refused to work with her, then she walked out from Harry Baweja's Love Story 2050 because she wanted to work with Shah Rukh Khan in Ram Gopal Varma's Time Machine. Unfortunately, Ramu decided to shelve the film after he had a fall-out with Shah Rukh Khan. Then, Kareena made a conscious effort to get back into Karan Johar camp and finally they agreed to work with each other. Kareena was signed for Tarun Mansukhani's film opposite Abhishek Bachchan, but she was again replaced by Karan Johar because Bachchan Jr didn't want to work with Kareena Kapoor, or anyone else from ex-flame Karisma Kapoor's family. "Kareena called Karan and spoke to him at length about this film. But Karan seems to be caught in crossfire where he can't afford to upset Abhishek Bachchan and also please his friend Kareena. It seems that Kareena is really upset with Karan though she refuses to admit it in public," says our source. Thereafter, she signed Shyam Benegal's Chamki Chameli, but due to some creative conflict, she was replaced by Urmila Matondkar. In fact, Madhur Bhandarkar had offered her Konkona Sen Sharma's role in Page 3 which she had refused, and later on she also turned down Shyam Benegal's film because she thought that she was not mature enough to play that role. When we contacted Shyam Benegal, he refused to comment, stating that it's too early to talk about the project. In fact, Kareena had signed Mani Ratman's film Lajjo with Aamir Khan and she even lost weight to get into the character. But Mani had some problem with Aamir Khan and now the film has been postponed until the time they can both work amicably with each other. The last time Kareena made an appearance on screen was for Farhan Akhtar's Don with Shah Rukh Khan. And after a year, she again agreed to do another item number in Lovely Singh's debut movie Kya Love Story Hai produced by NR Pachisia. Kareena agreed to do an item song in Lovely's film because their friendship goes back a long way since Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai days. "It seems that Kareena isn't any director's favourite actress anymore. She is talented and gorgeous, but she has been rude to a lot of people. She is not a popular star anymore. It's a pity that an actress her career came to a sudden end," says our source. Though we believe that Kareena will make a comeback and she will overcome this lull in her career. Not meant to be: Mani Ratnam's Lajjo Harry Baweja's Love Story 2050 Ram Gopal Varma's Time Machine Shyam Benegal's Chamki Chameli Karan Johar's untitled film Zoya Akhtar's Kismet Talkies
