- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,August 07 2006]
Kareena Kapoor is basking in the glory of bouquets of congratulations for her Desdemona act in Vishal BharadwajÂs ÂOmkaraÂ. She is also the subject of discussion for her Helen act in Farhan AkhtarÂs ÂDon where she will be dancing to the eternal magic ÂYeh Mera Dil Pyaar Ka DeewanaÂ.
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 ÂLajjoÂ. And guess who is her co-star! Yes, itÂs the reclusive genius Aamir Khan.
ÂLajjo is a film based on acclaimed Urdu writer Ismat ChoghtaiÂs short story. Mani Rathnam was in Mumbai recently where he saw the special screening of ÂOmkara 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. ÂLajjo will mark as another period film for Aamir after Â1947-The EarthÂ, ÂLagaan and ÂMangal PandeyÂ, while Kapoor will be doing a period flick for the second time after ÂAsokaÂ.
