Kareena Kapoor set to do a 'western Munni' with Salman in Dabangg 2

Kareena Kapoor may not be known for her dance moves, but she’s being a complete professional about her item number in the Dabangg (2010) sequel. The makers remain noncommittal, but the latest news is that the actor has been confirmed and is already doing extensive pre-shoot rehearsals.

“In fact, Bebo - for the past few days - has been rehearsing hard whenever she gets time off Heroine. Although her schedule for Madhur’s (Bhandarkar) film is very demanding, she is going out of her way to prepare for the Dabangg 2 song,” says a source close to Kareena. “Till now, she has already rehearsed for about a week.”

Interestingly, Kareena’s number - unlike Malaika Arora Khan’s Munni Badnaam Hui in Dabangg - is likely to be “quite western”. “Both Bebo and Salman Khan want the song to be completely fresh. That’s why the setting and treatment itself will make it look different,” says the insider.

Kareena, who has done special songs like Yeh Mera Dil (Don, 2006) and It’s Rocking (Kya Love Story Hai, 2007) in the past, is taking a personal interest in the way the number turns out. “Like Munni, Salman is also slated to be part of the song. He is also in touch with composers Sajid-Wajid too,” adds the insider.

When contacted, director-producer Arbaaz Khan says: “As a director, I’m entitled to have some privacy when it comes to certain details. If everything is out, my film will have no charm left. We haven’t taken a final call yet. I am very keen on Kareena to do the song, but let it get recorded and then we will see.”

But the insider insists that Bebo is all set to do the song-and-dance routine. “It’s likely to be shot soon after Salman returns from Bangkok from his Ek Tha Tiger schedule, because Kareena will later get busy with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Ram-Leela, and will have no time to spare,” he says.

Kareena goes bold - smokes and drinks on screen

With the Government and various social activists still divided on whether or not to ban smoking and drinking from movies, more and more actresses are exhibiting such habits on screen on the pretext of the script. Priyanka Chopra did so in Fashion, Katrina Kaif in Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, Vidya Balan in The Dirty Picture and the recent one to join the fad is Kareena Kapoor in Madhur Bhandarkar’s upcoming movie Heroine.

Recently, fanning the hype surrounding the film a bit more, the director tweeted a picture of a smoking and drinking Kareena from the sets. You can see her holding a cancer stick to her lips with one hand while the other is busy holding a glass of alcoholic beverage. Though she doesn’t look distraught, we think we are right in guessing this is the phase in the movie when she becomes the most wanted actress of the industry. From the looks of it, Kareena is giving quite a convincing scene here.

It seems Heroine will break a lot of stereotypes in terms of how actresses are viewed by the public and what they actually are. We hope this puffing of cigarettes and clinking of glasses are not overdone and forced in the narrative. A bit of meat here and there would really be appreciated as we believe in your brand of cinema Madhur. As for Kareena, it seems she is going all out to portray the role effectively.
