Kareena Kapoor‘s career seems to be heading to an exciting new level with Dev Benegal‘s film “Bombay Samurai“. Post-marriage, she seemed to flounder in her choices with her half-hearted crusader’s role in Prakash Jha’s “Satyagraha” and the totally inane social activist’s role in “Gori Tere Pyaar Mein”. With “Bombay Samurai”, Kareena finally seems to have got her post-marriage formula right.
According to sources, the film is
a crazy zany rollicking roller coaster ride with amazing twists and turns. There are seven to eight pivotal characters. But Kareena and Farhan (Akhtar) preside over the show
They play a couple like no other seen before in our films. They are wacky and unpredictable. The two actors will have a ball playing their outgoing zestful characters.
Both Kareena and Farhan were keen to work with one another. Says Farhan:
I’ve seen Kareena’s work. She is consistently excellent. I was keen to work with her. Dev’s film gives us a chance to try something different.
Kareena expressed the highest admiration for Farhan:
I admire Farhan for being multi-talented. Which other director has done so well as an actor? Farhan took my breath away in ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag‘. I am really looking forward to working with him.
The Farhan-Kareena film starts after Kareena’s annual holiday in Switzerland in December. Incidentally, she goes on this annual Christmas-New Year holiday in Switzerland without fail every year with husband Saif Ali Khan.
