Kareena Kapoor's films are competing against each other and if Ra.One manages to do as well as predicted, then nothing better than that. Kareena will have back to back hits. Ra.One is all set to release on 26th October and is supposedly the biggest release this Diwali.
Kareena goes sober this Diwali. She is back in action. Kareena recently showed up at Star Plus 'Diwali celebrations' with Shahrukh Khan. The actress looked beautiful, dressed in Manish Malhotra's ethnic churidhar suit with chikan work. However, earlier, Kareena politely refused to don a heavily embellished red saree and requested the designer to redesign and tone down the colour to give it more of an elegant and sober look. As per sources, Kareena did not want to look gaudy and all dolled up.
Constant speculation of her marriage has put many a producer on the back foot as far as signing Kareena for projects in 2012 goes. However Kareena fails to understand why this whole marriage mechanism should affect her career. The actress is not even willing to talk about the wedding issue right now. Kareena wants it to be known that even after marriage she has no plans to hang up her boots. She has decided that she will act till she lives. For her acting is like air, food and water - an essential ingredient.
Kareena wants to go the Meryl Streep way from next year. She would like to do some heavy duty performance oriented films. She makes a start with Madhur Bhandarkar's Heroine and sometime in the future she wants to do movies like The Devil Wears Prada, Bridges of Madison County and Mama Mia. She is a Meryl Streep fan and she thinks age or marital status can never be a deterrent for an actor. The only thing that one needs is passion. Acting for her is like the air she breathes. It's that essential. The Bodyguard actor aspires to be like Hollywood's Meryl Streep and do some power-packed roles. Kareena is beginning to realize that acting is more than the 'size zero' figure and designer labels
Before joining the rat race (read competition for the top heroine slot) the gorgeous Kareena dared to do roles that most leading and conventional wouldn't dare to attempt. Dev, Chameli, Omkara and Yuva proved that the stunner could create magic even without the fancy make-up and designer dresses. But in the last few years, particularly after the success of Jab We Met, the Kapoor babe has been playing safe. She co-starred some of the leading names in blockbuster films (Ajay Devgn for Golmaal, Akshay Kumar for Kambakkht Ishq, Aamir Khan for 3 Idiots, Salman Khan for Bodyguard), perhaps to retain her top position. While she was right as it did hike her market value, her acting prowess got lost in those big box-office numbers. Kareena got more absorbed in her appearances than the role!
The actor has been raking in big moolah based on her great box office record in recent times. Kareena is being paid around Rs. 8 crore to star in Madhur Bhandarkar's Heroine. Three out of her last four films have been huge hits. 3 Idiots, Golmaal 3 and now Bodyguard have been the biggest grossers in recent times. While 3 Idiots grossed Rs. 200 crore and Golmaal 3 earned Rs. 100 crore, Bodyguard is on its way to touch the Rs. 100 crore mark. One must say that Kareena's strategy to work with big stars in big-budget films has paid her great dividends. After quite a few unsuccessful films like Tashan, Kurbaan, Kambakhht Ishq, Main Aur Mrs Khanna, Milenge Milenge and We Are Family, the actor probably decided to focus on doing sure shot blockbusters
She does have a lot of potential as an actor, but looks like she is not in the mood to explore it at the moment. Apart from Heroine, where she plays the central character, her forthcoming films RA.One with Shahrukh Khan, Agent Vinod with Saif Ali Khan, and Dhuan with Aamir Khan are all hero-centric films. Again, Kareena doesn't really have much to do here.
Kareena is planning to go the Hollywood way with her private life now! This doesn't mean she'll be broadcasting her personal life on television, quite the opposite actually.
Kareena is working with Shah Rukh Khan after a long time; In between she did do a couple of songs with him in Billu and Don. It has been ten years since the two worked in Asoka. It is an absolute honour for her that Shah Rukh wanted her in his most ambitious project. It is the most expensive film in the history of Indian cinema. It is the best compliment.
Size zero had its own charm. Kareena wanted to do something nobody had done before. Everyone will remember the size zero phase of Kareena Kapoor's life. Today, she is curvier and her fans like her that way. She does look like a Hindi film heroine now.
With the biggest films this year, it is the best phase of Kareena's career. If RA.One goes on to break all records at the box office, she will be happier. The film has the capacity to achieve that.
There's a lot of debate about her and Katrina contending for the number one spot but Kareena has always let her films do the talking. She doesn't care if people slot her at number 100 as long as Bodyguard goes on to make Rs 150 crore and 3 Idiots garners Rs 300 crore. She hopes RA.One gets bigger numbers and Agent Vinod breaks records.
Kareena's current competition Katrina has been the most consistent female actor at the box office in the last five years. Another thing is Katrina is working with the three big Khans - Shah Rukh, Aamir and Salman. When Kareena worked with all the Khans within a year, it was the first time anyone had ever done that. There will be other actresses who will do the same. But Kareena is glad she had the first opportunity.
With Karisma making her comeback, Kareena will now have competition within the family. To Kareena, Karisma is the eternal diva. She has learnt everything from Karisma - the dance, the expressions. She is somebody Kareena looks up to and she hopes Karisma does more films now. Kareena has seen the rushes of Dangerous Ishq, Karisma's comeback film, and she looks spectacular. She is like a 19-year-old. According to Kareena, her sister can never be a competition to her and she will always be behind her.
Kareena is working on Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai 2 and there is a possibility that Shahid Kapoor may sign the project. Kareena has not met Milan Luthria yet. She hasn't read the script either. She is eager to work on the film since she loved the first. As far as working with anyone is concerned, she has always been relaxed about it. She is happy if her role is good.
Thus it's good to see Kareena still enjoying the number one position as heroine in Bollywood. She has Katrina as her closest competitor. But yet she shows promise of staying on top for a couple of year more. Good luck, Kareena!
