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.
