The latest buzz from B-town is that Bollywood babe Kareena Kapoor is set to hit the red light district! Kapoor plans to do so for her next flick, Heera Mandi. Kareena is going to play the role of a sex worker. Based on her strong performance as a prostitute in Sudhir Mishra's film Chameli in 2003, it makes perfect sense that she would be chosen to play a role of this kind again.
The Sanjay Leela Bhansali film reunites Kareena Kapoor with Abhishek Bachchan onscreen. Kareena made her debut in the film Refugee where she starred in the lead opposite Abhishek. A few years later in 2003 the two acted together in Sooraj Barjatya's film Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon.
Now they are back again and hopefully will light up the silver screen together! Bhansali plans to start shooting for the film once he wraps up his current project Guzaarish which stars Hrithik Roshan and Aishwariya Rai Bachchan. Rumor has it that Bhansali was considering Hrithik for the role after being impressed by his work on Guzaarish. However, it looks like Abhishek is still locked in for the part.
Sources say that Kareena Kapoor is very excited to work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali as she has wanted to for a while. Previous projects that they have tried to work on together have fell through due to personal or professional circumstances. Now they have the chance to work together and we will have to see if they can properly portray the story behind the red light district in Lahore, Heera Mandi.
Based on Bhansali and the actors track records there is strong potential for a great film. Kareena is currently working on her next movie Golmaal 3 in Hyderabad while Abhishek has been busy promoting his new film Raavan. Stay tuned to find out more about the film once they hit the sets!
