Bebo gets over Rs 7 crore for Heroine?
This year, Bodyguard and RA.One have both raked in over Rs 100 crore, making it a successful year for Kareena Kapoor, the female lead of both films. And cashing in on the films’ good run at the box office, the actor has decided to hike her fee.
“Bebo was offered Heroine twice, but she didn’t give it a green signal because she and the makers, UTV and Bhandarkar, couldn’t agree on the fee. But now, things are sorted,” says a close associate of the actor.
Ask Kareena to comment and she says that she’s “up for the challenge” in terms of her role, but refuses to talk about money. “Till date, I’ve never discussed my pay cheque in the media. But for Heroine, I am getting only what I rightly deserve,” she says with a smile.
In the recent past, she has acted in blockbusters like 3 Idiots (Rs 200 crore, 2009) and Golmaal 3 (over Rs 100 crore, 2010). But she is wary of the pressure that comes with her success: “On the first day of the shoot, I was nervous because there’s a lot of pressure. We plan to do something very different.”
The actor was also recently voted the sexiest Asian woman in the world by the weekly newspaper, Eastern Eye. She says, “I couldn’t really believe it. I started laughing when I was told about it. I am not used to it. And that too from Asia, which is a huge continent. The thought is scary and unbelievable. When I told Saif, he was like, ‘Why Asia? It’s in the world.’ I think that was quite sweet.”
And although Kareena has been anointed the ‘100-crore heroine’, having worked in four such films 3 Idiots, Golmaal 3, Bodyguard and RA.One, she hopes Heroine too rakes in the money. She says, “That’s all because the pressure (of the 100-crore tag) is on my head.”

"Kareena but no Salman in my next" , says Bodyguard director
Filmmaker Siddhique of Bodyguard fame will miss his favourite actor Salman Khan on the sets of his next film which will be produced by Shyam Bajaj. The director cites the busy schedule of Salman, the reason for his reluctance to approach the superstar but that isn’t the case of Kareena Kapoor.
Still basking on the glory of Bodyguard, Siddhique can’t withhold raving about Salman and reveals with a heavy heart, “Salman is a fabulous actor but I unfortunately won’t be able to rope him in my upcoming venture which is a complete entertainer like Bodyguard. I can’t even approach him as he is tied up with commitments to others filmmakers for another three to four years.”
On being probed about the status of the film and star cast, he informs, “Since, it is in the scripting stage, I have not yet finalized on the star cast but I’m keen to work with Kareena again since she will be available at that time but only she fits the bill perfectly. But, final decision will be taken as soon as script is ready. I will zero on the main leads which will be a big star cast, as per the requirement of the script.”
When further probed about what if the character in the film demands for Salman’s presence, the director concludes with a quick reply, “In that case, I will wait for Salman to begin the shoot.”
