Kareena Kapoor is excited about her new movies
After the record breaking opening worldwide of her film Kambakkht Ishq opposite Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor is now very excited about Karan Johar's movie ‘Kurbaan’ which is in post-production stage. Kurbaan, directed by Rensil D'Silva will feature Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor in lead roles along with actor Vivek Oberoi, Om Puri and Dia Mirza in important roles. It is a film based on terrorism and is set in the US and shooting as reportedly in Philadelphia and in Brooklyn. It is expected to be in theatres in November 2009.
Yet another release that Kareena is excited about is the Bollywood movie ‘Main Aur Mrs. Khanna’ in which apart from Kareena, Salman Khan and Sohail Khan appear in main roles. Directed by Prem Soni, the story of the film revolves around the theme of extramarital affair. A joint venture production of Sohail Khan Productions and UTV SpotBoy Pictures, the film will be produced by Sohail Khan and Ronnie Screwvala and is expected for an October 2009 release.
And next release in her kitty for 2009 is the delayed release of ‘Milenge Milenge’, directed by Satish Kaushik and starring Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor in their fifth film together after Imtiaz Ali's Jab We Met (2007), apart from important portrayals by Satish Shah, Aarti Chhabria and Delnaaz Paul. The film actually began shooting in places like Delhi and Dubai in 2004 and was expected to hit the screens in December 2005, but due to some problems it lagged on. As reported, according to producer Boney Kapoor, "...perhaps it was destined that the most romantic film featuring Shahid and Kareena would come after their relationship."
Is Kareena Kapoor the highest paid actress?
Unconfirmed reports say that the gorgeous Bollywood actress has bagged a new contract to act in a movie that offered her Rs 10 crores as her acting fees. If the report is true she beats the currently highest paid actress Aishwarya Rai, who is being paid Rs 6 crores for her role in under-production the Tamil movie Endhiran (Robot) opposite the veteran Tamil hero and the idol of millions, Rajani Kanth. However, it is good news, especially because Bollywood did not have much of box office hits this year and the global recession seems to have an effect on producers, and this years' disputes between producers and multiplex owners delayed the release of many movies that had to be released on later dates, months after they were to be released. This results in cashes in releasing dates and many movies lost heavily. Industry analysts say that the total loss to the film industry is anything around Rs 500 crores. Under this background, getting a contract worth Rs ten crores for a movie is commendable. But it is no wonder, as Kareena has many top recent hits to her credit.
