More news →Mani Rathnams Lajjo to start in August, 2007
It seems Kareena Kapoor will have to wait a while before she can start work on her dream project, ' Lajjo'. Directed by Mani Rathnam, she would be paired with perfectionist Aamir Khan for the first time. This much anticipated film was supposed to start this December or January, 2007, but with Aamir planning to kick start the remake of Tamil hit 'Ghajini' under his own home production in January, it seems 'Lajjo' will have to wait till August, 2007 to finally start. For the meanwhile Kareena is basking in the glory of boyfriend Shahid Kapoor's first super hit 'Vivah'. No, she is not in a hurry to sign new films. And no, she isn't bothered about her pairing with one time lover Hrithik Roshan in Zoya Akhtar's directorial debut. As of now Kareena is listening to new scripts and is determined to do quality work. Seems Aamir Khan effect is catching up big time in Bollywood.
Aamir, Karena in Rathnams Lajjo
Kareena Kapoor is basking in the glory of bouquets of congratulations for her Desdemona act in Vishal Bharadwaj's 'Omkara'. She is also the subject of discussion for her Helen act in Farhan Akhtar's 'Don' where she will be dancing to the eternal magic 'Yeh Mera Dil Pyaar Ka Deewana'. The latest bit of news on her is even more exciting. She has been signed by none other than Mani Rathnam for his next film 'Lajjo'. And guess who is her co-star! Yes, it's the reclusive genius Aamir Khan. 'Lajjo' is a film based on acclaimed Urdu writer Ismat Choghtai's short story. Mani Rathnam was in Mumbai recently where he saw the special screening of 'Omkara' organized by Kareena for her select group of friends and well wishers. After a photo shoot with Aamir and Kareena, the star-pair was announced. Although the film starts in January 2007, Rathnam has asked Kareena to start preparing from November 2006 itself. 'Lajjo' will mark as another period film for Aamir after '1947-The Earth', 'Lagaan' and 'Mangal Pandey', while Kapoor will be doing a period flick for the second time after 'Asoka'.
