Saif Ali Khan is definitely not happy with this. But tis true that director Imtiaz Ali who gave a huge hit with Kareena Kapoor in ‘Jab We Met‘ has chosen Deepika Padukone over Kareena Kapoor for his next project despite the fact that the film is Kareena’s new found love Saif’s home production. The shooting of this will start in all probability in May 2008.
Saif and Imtiaz had several heated and prolonged arguments over the matter. But the latter was adamant. Director Imtiaz Ali, who is known to speak his mind, states, “It’s very simple. Deepika suits the role. Kareena, who is my absolute favorite, does not. Fortunately or unfortunately my fondness for an actor is not the criterion for casting.”
“I cannot cast Kareena wrongly, not after casting her so perfectly as Geet in ‘Jab We Met’. I respect her talent too much for that. No one knows her worth better than me. I’m sure I’ll write a role for her in my next film and happily queue up outside her door for her dates,” he added.
