Kareena and Shahrukh Together

Kareena Kapoor and Shahrukh Khan are coming together in the forthcoming film Billo Barber which has Irfan Khan, Lara Dutta and King Khan himself in the lead role. Apart from Kareena, Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone will also be seen in the item number grooving with Shahrukh. The shooting of Priyadarshan’s Billo Barber is on and the film is expected to hit the marquee early next year.Though Shahrukh is shooting for Karan Johar’s My Name Is Khan in the US, he is keeping a tab on Billu Barber publicity. Speaking from Los Angeles, he says, “I called Kareena just a day before the shoot of Marjani Marjani and she immediately said yes. She told me there was no way she would not be a part of it and was waiting for the song. Manish Malhotra was immediately told to make a costume for her and to deliver within 24 hours.”“There is a film within the film and as part of the shoot in Irrfan’s village, a song sequence is filmed with Kareena who plays herself. We shot for it over five days and as usual Kareena looks stunning,” points out SRK.

Kareena Kapoor created a lot of hue and cry with her size zero frame not very long ago. But in her next release, ‘Kambakht Ishq’ where she plays a surgeon who moonlights as a supermodel, she has put on a few extra pounds.
She’s said, “I weigh 54 kg now, which for a girl of my height is quite fine. People used to wonder what ’size zero’ is and I’d joke, ‘Just look at me’. I don’t want that any more. I want to look like a normal healthy girl. My forthcoming releases required me to get back to a fuller shape.”

Apparently in ‘Kambakht Ishq’, she didn’t want to play the character looking like an international model because she’s basically in another profession. So it was not possible for her to really have the figure of Victoria Beckham. She had to look more filled up.
She will have a fuller frame in ‘Mr & Mrs Khanna’ too.
She says he wanted to do so in the film with Salman Khan as she plays a wife.
She’s made it a point to add, “Not that wives can’t be curvaceous. The one I played in ‘Golmaal Returns’ certainly was.”
So that means that Kareena won’t be flaunting and talking only about her size zero frame anymore! Well, must say that would be good for a change!
