Kareena Kapoor to fight with lover boy Saif Ali Khan

Bollywood’s hottest couple Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor may be madly in love with each other in real life but they are going to fight in their forthcoming film Agent Vinod.

Saif’s debut home production Agent Vinod is all set to take off on May 24 in Mumbai though its actual shooting would take place in Morocco. The film will have a combat scene where the lead pair Saif and Kareena fights. It is said that Kareena has already started training for the particular sequence.

It was reported that Kareena plays a Pakistani spy in this film directed by Sriram Raghavan. It is slated for release in March next year.

Kareena to play a Pakistani spy

Kareena Kapoor starts shooting for Agent Vinod in two weeks. She plays a negative character in it, while beau Saif Ali Khan plays the title role.

An insider reveals, "The first schedule will be in Mumbai. Kareena plays a Pakistani CIA agent in the film, and sports five different looks - a first for her. She will be wearing different looks with prosthetics (think Hrithik's guises in Dhoom 2)."


Very excited
Kareena is naturally very excited about her role. She believes AV will be a cool and intelligent film. She calls it a very 'Saif style' film. Currently, Bebo is shooting for a shampoo ad in Malaysia. She returns later this week and then heads to Goa for Golmaal 3, then joins Saif on set on May 25. In the meantime, she is in talks with designer Aki Narula for her various looks.

Kareena's character works for a bunch of corporate honchos who want to rake in the profits from a war-like scenario in the Asian subcontinent. But she is actually a spy for the Pakistani government. 'What is interesting is that she and Saif are not romantically paired in the film.'

Kareena says, "I am very excited to be a part of Shriram's film. It's a great script. I am happy that Agent Vinod is starting soon. I am working on my various looks for the film. It's something I haven't attempted before."

Agent Vinod: The plot unfolds
Agent Vinod's character has been moulded on 007, on Jack Bauer (the government agent in the American TV series 24) and on Jason Bourne, the CIA assassin in Robert Ludlum's novels and its film adaptations. Agent Vinod will be filmed at exotic locations all over the globe.

The plot unfolds with a caretaker being murdered and a grave being dug open in Uzbekistan. In Hamburg, a scientist is kidnapped, while in London, a painter is murdered. Elsewhere, an Indian agent is caught spying. He manages to flee and send a warning that someone is planning a conspiracy against India. This is when Agent Vinod steps in to save the country from disaster.

Kareena Kapoor to romances with 5 actors

Kareena Kapoor has bagged a role of a lifetime. Bebo, who has earlier given hits like Omkara, Jab We Met and 3 Idiots, is set to play a role that is very much inspired by none other than the famous Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe.

Reports are there that Kareena has been approached by Madhur Bhandarkar to play the lead in an untitled movie that will be based on the life of Marilyn Monroe.

Madhur Bhandarkar has always been fascinated by Marilyn Monroe and was keen to do a film on her life from a long time.

Now, when Madhur has done with all his intensive research on the Monroe’s life, he has started looking out to finalize the male casts for the movie.

And if reports are to be believed, Kareena will be seen romancing not one, not two, but five men in the movie. Seems like, Kareena is following Priyanka's foorstep as in 'Saat Khoon Maaf', Priyanka would be seen playing a wife to seven different men.

Shahid to promote Milenge Milenge Movie with Kareena

The film in question has been in the making for quite sometime now with the starcast apparently having issues about promoting the film. However, now we hear that Shahid Kapoor has decided to go ahead and promote his film with Kareena Kapoor, Milenge Milenge.

Sources close to the film have confirmed that Shahid Kapoor is shooting a promotional music video for the film today. Choreographed by Ahmed Khan, shoot of Shahid's portions are to be finished by today.

However, as for Kareena, it's yet to be confirmed whether she will be a part of the said music video, which also features her one time beau, Shahid Kapoor.

Kareena Kapoor as tomboy in Golmaal 3 Movie

Kareena Kapoor will be playing a tomboy character for the first time in Golmaal 3, being directed by Rohit Shetty.

It is learnt that while the director was writing the story, he decided to give Kareena's typically glamorous image a break in the film and offer her an unusual part. He didn't want her to do the glam doll act once again. He wanted her to be part of the gang of boys comprising Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Kunal Khemu and Shreyas Talpade.

Going casual
The source reveals, "Kareena will sport casual wear in the film. No designer dresses, shoes and bags for her. She will play a badass who spouts abusive tapori language and rides around on a bike. She will be seen doing dadagiri like boys in gangs."

Bebo admits, "My look in Golmaal 3 is non-glamorous. It's young and grunge and keeping the weather and look of Goa in mind. I play a tomboy but with a feminine touch. Though I will be using tapori language it won't be too abusive or vulgar. It will be in keeping with my persona."

Shetty adds, "I wanted to give Kareena a new image in Golmaal 3. She's 'one of the boys' in the film, and will sport minimal make-up. She is talking with Manish Malhotra and they will come up with the right look for her part. I have tried not to make her use too much foul language or abusive lingo. Her whole look and hair will be undergoing a thorough change. Her character in the film is not that rich. We are all looking forward to teaching Bebo some exciting language. She's already become one goonda now!"

Keeping Bebo real
Manish Malhotra says, "I feel that whenever Bebo plays a real character she does it the best (like Jab We Met or 3 Idiots). The look for Bebo is a believable one with simple clean lines. I will pick up some clothes for her in Bangkok and Dubai for her. She will be wearing summer tops and T-shirts. In fact, I will be designing and creating some special T-shirts for her. Rohit didn't want jeans or shorts but drawstring pants in ivory or white. It's something like Amanda Seyfried sported in Mamma Mia! - Mediterranean casual chic."

Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor married secretly?

Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan are tired of media reports that they’ve gotten married secretly. And the reports don’t stop there. They also claim that the couple has hidden the wedding not just from the public but also from their families. Naturally, the star couple isn’t smiling at this.

Apparently, there were rumours that the two of them got engaged in the presence of a maulvi on February 6 at Saif’s residence and that he’s also gifted a car to Kareena. The couple is in a bad mood since this news broke out. Kareena has asserted that these rumours have no sense to them and that the couple will marry only after five years.

Well, how much longer will this couple battle with the media? Only time will tell.

Kurbaan gets a below the mark opening

The much-hyped Kurbaan opened to a below-the-mark response. The opening was 40% to 50% at plexes, but much lower at single screens. The film has had a wide release and the numbers were expected to be huge, but the opening day business was not in proportion with the stature of the film.

The next few days are crucial and the film should show an escalation in business. Meanwhile, the film fetched Rs. 1 crore in paid previews on Thursday night, according to a statement received by this writer from UTV.

Kareena Kapoor follows Katrina's footsteps

If Katrina Kaif gave her best performance so far in Kabir Khan’s New York it is now Kareena Kapoor’s turn to pull out all stops and deliver a walloping histrionic sixer in Rensil D’Silva’s Kurbaan. In uncannily similar roles.

Both the actresses are featured in near-identical roles, of a wife who discovers her husband to be a closet-terrorist. Coincidentally both the films are located in the city of New York.

Secretly both Katrina and Kareena see the role of the terrorist’s wife as a turning point in their respective careers. But what about the similarity between the two characters?

Kurbaan director Rensil D’Silva doesn’t deny the similarities. “If there are similarities between Kurbaan and New York then that’s fine. I’ve high regards for Kabir Khan as a filmmaker. If Kurbaan reminds audiences of Kabir’s film then I’m fine with that. It has worthy recall-value.”

However Rensil cautions that every work on terror and terrorism has its own mood and purpose. “There can be any number of films on two people falling in love. It’s about how the individual director interprets the emotion of love. Likewise with the theme of terrorism. It’s open to a multitude of interpretations. I’d like to believe my films is essentially different from Kabir’s.”

Kabir Khan was on the way to Cairo for the Cairo Film Festival for the screening of New York on Monday when he was contacted.

Khan said, “What can I say about the similarities between the two films that you’re pointing out? Kurbaan looks like a well-made film. If they’re similar then I’m sure that the audience that appreciated my New York will also take to this film.”

But the real fight will be between Kareena and Katrina, both portraying similar roles and vying for the same popular awards at the end of the year.

"Our love making scene is done aesthetically"- Kareena Kapoor

She is known as 'Size Zero' of the Indian Film Industry. So we decided, let's just call her 'Half a Bagel'. She is slim, sleek and sexy. Kareena Kapoor is taking Bollywood by storm since a year, and taking the paparazzi by frenzy whenever she is spotted with boyfriend and actor Saif Ali Khan. Off screen, Kareena, popularly known as Bebo in Bollywood, exudes a smaller-than-life, self deprecating persona.

She always looks hopeful about her future, whether it's family, films or Saif Ali Khan. She is unique. She has the sort of untouchable star quality about her. In person, she is quite remarkably beautiful and lean. So lean that she seems almost to be a trick of perspective.

The directors she's worked with routinely comment on her flexibility. The actors comment on her dedication and passion for films and her boyfriend comments, ''She is very adaptable to the different worlds our directors create for her.'' Such is the respect this actress gets delivered. Since her new life with beau Saif has begun, and she is carefully selecting the right scripts coming her way, Kareena Kapoor has blossomed into the most talented and versatile actress of her generation.

She is so real that she doesn't even hesitate to say, ''Why don't journalists ever ask Charlize Theron or Halle Berry, why they do a love making scene in a movie? Why is it always have to be us?'' when asked her about the intense love making scene with Saif Ali Khan in Kurbaan.

Now that's what we respect about this bold Indian woman. But the lady doesn't stop there. ''When a viewer sees Kurbaan, they're not going to go back with just the kiss'', she adds. On her way to the Heathrow airport to catch her flight to Dubai, where both, 'Saifeena' (that's their new combined name) are busy promoting Kurbaan, we get lucky to be talking to the Indian phenomenon at the right place at the right time - the phenomenal princess Kareena Kapoor. By the way, the time I spoke to her was half past midnight.

The promos of Kurbaan reminds us a lot of your elder sister Karisma in Fiza. How intense can you get as an actress?
Well, Kurbaan is an intense film, its cutting edge and gripping too. Kurbaan is a new wave of cinema that's coming along. All our characters are intense; it's not just only me. Yes, my role of Avantika is the most powerful. So, you'll be surprised with our strong cast when the film hits the theatres.

I hope our sweet London journos haven't been asking you the same cliched questions, have they?
You know what? Everybody has been asking me more or less the same questions (laughs). So I hope you ain't going to make this one cliche like your London colleagues.

So how complex is Avantika, the role you play, in the film?
Avantika is a simple girl. She maintains her integrity very well in the film but is being used as a pawn in a huge game being played around by the terrorists. We've tried to keep Avantika real and at the same time, commercial. The role isn't a documentary types because let's not forget, it's a Karan Johar film. Kurbaan is a movie with a lot of repeat value.

Films have a shelf life of three days now. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It's a hit or a flop.
You'll be surprised that a lot of movies are declared a hit on a Friday itself. But sadly those movies are not really a hit. Today's all about perception and a lot about your PR. But some movies are going to do well even post Monday as well. Films like Love Aaj Kal, New York and Wake Up Sid have done well. The real test of films begins on the fourth day of their release that is a Monday. Unfortunately the media doesn't like to believe that. That's the test we all have to pass. Kurbaan falls under a category which has good music, good story, meaning, soul, good production house, good actors, etc. I'm sure and we hope it has a longer shelf life.

You think KJo is drifting away from his usual rom-coms? Would you expect a Kurbaan coming from a Dharma Production?
The whole idea is that when you are in a creative field, be it a producer, be it an actor, etc, we all have to experiment, we all have to discover and we all have to do different stuff. I don't think Karan Johar really wants to be a mediocre producer or a director. He has always pushed the envelope and he has always made great movies. If Karan doesn't do it than who else will?

How did you react on Saif's quote stating that he sees a lot of Sharmila Tagore in you?
That's a great compliment from Saif. Sharmila Tagore was one of the only actresses in Indian cinema to strike a balance between doing parallel cinema and doing a commercial entertainer. She has done Mausam and an Evening in Paris. I'd like to believe that I can also do an Omkara and a Kambakkht Ishq. I have constantly been doing roles in which I don't get type cast and I'm sure that the directors and the filmmakers know that now.

Love making scene cannot get easier than this, can it? An off screen couple getting intimate on screen.
Actually, to be honest with you, I would've done Kurbaan even if Saif wasn't there in the film. I would've stuck to the script which was given to me. I'm sure he would've done the same. So of course, this love making scene is a bit over hyped because we are an off screen couple. But I know one thing. When a viewer sees Kurbaan, they're not going to go back with just the kiss. The kiss isn't important. What's important is our message of the film. What's important are the thrilling moments in our film, etc. Why don't journalists ever ask Charlize Theron or Halle Berry why they do a love making scene in a movie. Why is it always have to be us? Our love making scene is done with aesthetically in a very classy manner.

Let me see if you can get three out of three here in this quick rapid fire.
Ok, let's play. I'm sure it'll be exciting

Saif Ali Khan's first film as an actor?
I think his first film was Parampara.

You got the first one. Now what was Saif's name in Omkara?
That's simple. Langda Tyagi

That's two on two. Here's the big one. Saif's first film with Akshay Kumar?
His first film with Akshay was Keemat

I'm sorry to say but you get 2 out of 3. His first film was Yeh Dillagi
Oh yes! Never mind. Better luck next time.

What is Kurbaan?
Kurbaan is a pain of intense emotions.
