Kareena Kapoor eats her words
Kareena Kapoor, who singled out John Abraham as the one actor that she would not share screen space with because of his expressionless face, is now all set to appear with him in a film by Shree Ashtavinayak.
The 27-year-old loud mouth has a three-film deal with Shree Ashtavinayak whose recent release Jab We Met has rocked the box office and returned both Shahid and Kareena to the Bollywood mainstream.
Kareena probably does not want to rock the boat in which she has finally journeyed to success. In an astounding turn around she now says, “I have no problem with John. I liked the basic idea and approved it but will hear the detailed script in Goa.”
You could attribute the change in heart of the Kapoor lass to her growing maturity but you would be wrong. It is the Rs 2 crores paycheck that is responsible for the about face.
Explaining the dynamics an insider tells TOI, “The deal is almost a two-crore package. That’s high for an actress by industry standards.”
If Kareena really meant what she said about John on Koffee with Karan, she is not being faithful to the project.
More likely, she did not mean what she said and said so merely to get attention, a measure of how mean Bollywood stars can really get.
