  • Kareena Kapoor: The Biggest Film or the Best Script, No Midway for Me

Kareena Kapoor: The Biggest Film or the Best Script, No Midway for Me
A still from the song Aata Majhi Satakli featuring Kareena Kapoor
"Take the best, leave the rest" seems to be Kareena Kapoor's mantra for choosing films. The actress, who is said to have refused six scripts lately, says she is keen to do a few but fantastic films as there's never a "middle way" for her.

"If the scripts were good, I would have definitely said 'yes'. A few scripts work for some actresses, a few scripts don't work. But, yes, my job is to choose the best script," Kareena told IANS in an interview here. (Also Read: Kareena confident of Aata Majhi Satakli)

The 34-year-old, who married actor-producer Saif Ali Khan in 2012, said: "After marriage, I want to do only one or two films at a time. I can't do too many films. That's my personal decision and I want people to respect that."

"Whatever I will chose it would be according to my time frame. It should be worthy enough that I leave my home and go to work. Either it should be the biggest film of the year or it should have the best script. There is no middle way out for me at the moment."

Wouldn't turning down offers affect her personal equation with celebrities?

"I don't think it affects relationships at all. It's (a film is) an actor's choice and one film can't affect a relationship. In fact, if you say 'no' to somebody, there are chances that they will come back. After all, it's a film! If you are not comfortable, it's okay," said the actress, who will now be seen in Singham Returns.

Kareena, who belongs to the famous Kapoor family of Hindi cinema, started her Bollywood career in 2000 with J.P. Dutta's Refugee. She made space in the industry with entertainers like Ajnabee, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Chameli, Omkara, Jab We Met, Golmaal Returns, 3 Idiots and Ra One.

The actress is clear about what she wants.

In fact, on an episode of celebrity chat show Koffee With Karan, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap advised Kareena: "Don't ask who is in the film; you should ask what is the film." She is taking it seriously.

"I am taking his advice and that's why I am rejecting scripts because I am choosing films on the basis of scripts," Kareena said.

She, however, feels the Hindi film industry suffers from a lack of good scriptwriters.

"People should write good scripts. I definitely feel there is a lack of scriptwriters. A lot of people don't get a chance. Probably, there are good writers who don't get a chance; so I am listening to everybody - from small to big. I am meeting everybody - whoever has a good script," said the actress, who is the daughter of veteran actors Randhir Kapoor and Babita.

From yesterday's interview

Why did you opt out of Shuddhi?

When Hrithik walked out of the film, I didn't want to be part of the film. I had waited a year and a half to work on this film and then Hrithik decided he didn't want to do it. To me, Shuddhi meant Hrithik and I would get back together on screen. So it didn't work that Hrithik had just walked out.


Did you opt out of Shuddhi for the same reason you didn't do Dil Dhadakne Do? Because Ranbir Kapoor opted out of the film?

(Thinks) Yeah. It would have been wonderful if Ranbir had been part of the film.


Sure she is taking his advice 😆

why is she opting out of films just because the other actors drop out?
If kareena stayed with shuddhi then maybe she wud be starring in it with salman, she shouldn't give up on a good script.

There is a good chance that she didn't walk out of the film. It could be Karan's conspiracy to nudge her out of the film by saying it is shelved. She kept saying it until last month, when it never was. Deepika was approached for the film when Kareena was still the official lead. So much bhaichara! 😆
