Kareena Kapoor will finally feature in another project of Jab We Met director Imtiaz Ali.The film, to be produced by Ashtavinayak, is likely to have Akshay Kumar and will roll as soon as Imtiaz completes his current film with Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone.
Assumptions?
B-Town buzz was that Bebo was extremely upset when Imtiaz, who she refers to as her favourite director, did not cast her in his next flick after their big draw, Jab We Met.
Even though it was Kareena's beau's production, Imtiaz preferred Deepika to co-star with Saif. And the outspoken Bebo had even voiced her resentment at an awards event.
Imtiaz, who is back from London after a long schedule of Saif's movie says, "I guess everyone assumed that Kareena would be part of it. Moreover as Saif is the producer, it was just taken for granted. I have heard that Kareena voiced her displeasure, but she did not directly say anything to me. As a director I have to see what the storyboard demands and accordingly do the casting. It's not that there was any tussle on that front; the fact that we are working together again proves it."
The film will also be penned by Imtiaz. "It's still in the initial stages so I can't divulge much right now. I prefer to work at one project at a time so as soon as I wrap up Saif's film, I will concentrate on it. By early 2009, I hope to roll the project with Kareena."
Bebo is presently in the US shooting for Sajid Nadiadwala's Kambakht Ishq. Her secretary Zahid Khan confirms, "Yes, she has said okay to this project. She's pretty excited about it. After all, it's her favourite director, producer and co-star too." On Tuesday, Imtiaz had a meeting with the producers to chalk out the details. Dhilin Mehta of Ashtavinayak, adds "We have discussed the various aspects of the project. After Jab We Met we were looking at working with the same team and here it is."
The only person missing from the Jab We Met unit will be Shahid Kapoor and for obvious reasons!

Whenever one thinks of Kashmir, the first saying that comes to your mind is that of, 'If there is a paradise on earth, it is here, it is here, it is here.' But when anyone thinks of Goa, the first saying that comes to mind is…actually nothing! One does not waste time in thinking of sayings and slogans. All that one does is 'Break-Free' from all the daily stress and humdrums. Ever wondered how the B-town celebs perceive Goa as? Well read on and feel refreshed!
Sonu Sood (actor): "Yes Goa is my favourite holiday spot. I go there every year. I think it's the liveliest place in the world. Everyone is in the party mode. You forget all your worries. Also, after having shot two films there I can swear there can be no better place to shoot."
Raima Sen (actress): "I love Goa. I go at least 4 times a year. I love the seafood, beaches and shacks. I love the chilled-out life there. And the friendly vibes of the place. I can comfortably let my hair down."
Arbaaz Khan (actor): "Goa is definitely my favourite holiday spot. It's chilled out, not much hustle-bustle… I love the place, people, food, and eating-places. Being close to Mumbai it's an ideal vacation spot."
Imtiaz Ali (director): "Hey Goa is big in my life. I go there very often, but still not as often as I'd like. I'd like to live the life of a hippy or a nomad on one of the beaches there. I'd like to just travel around the beaches and villages. Life is not possible for me without Goa. It takes the traffic and the noise out of my blood system."
Arshad Warsi (actor): "I love Goa. The place slows me down. I go there as often as I can."
Sammir Dattani (actor): "Since I am total water person Goa is THE place for me. At least twice a year I take off with a bunch of friends. We never get out of the water."
Niharika Singh (model, actress): "I like Goa. But it isn't my favourite holiday spot. Yes, I've been to Goa. But I'm not one of those who makes it a point to go there every year religiously. I love the seafood and flea markets in Goa."
Tanushree Dutta (actress): "Goa is a favourite holiday spot. I manage to go twice a year. What I like best are the little shacks by the beaches and the old-world charm about the place."
After Deepika, for an unhappy Khan’s maiden production, Kareena will be part of Production No 2
Now that their relationship is out in the open, Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone seem to have overnight become the most talked-about couple in filmdom. Sadly, just after cementing their relationship during the long outdoor spell of Yash Raj Films' Bachna Ae Haseenon in Australia, Deepika had to leave for a long shooting schedule of Nikhil Advani's Chandni Chowk To China.
'Mauja hi Mauja' that is what Kapoor clan's current leading lady Bebo aka Kareena Kapoor must be feeling these days post the enormous fame coming from all corners, after the commercial success of JAB WE MET, novelle beau Saif Ali Khan in her life, loaded with enough offers, winning the black lady (Filmfare) for Best Actress.
Khallas ! It's closing time and the booking window at Bollywood is still grinning, despite the series of flops in the last two weeks. 
Strange as it may sound, but from today (Friday), many of the exhibitors are going to opt for the three week old Shahid-Kareena starrer, JAB WE MET, removing SAAWARIYA. The trend is very pronounced in small centers and single screens. Even many of the leading multiplexes / cineplexes have reduced the number of shows of the one week old SAAWARIYA and have reverted to JAB WE MET, which did exceedingly well during its two week run.
Imtiaz Ali's Jab We Met is creating a lot of buzz mainly because the main actors of the film - Shahid and Kareena Kapoor have broken up. However, that aside, it's being speculated that the film is inspired by a Hollywood hit film A Walk In The Clouds . Earlier the same film proved to be an inspiration for filmmakers like David Dhawan and Raj Kanwar.
