Indian film actress Kareena Kapoor has signed Javed Sheikh’s upcoming film ‘Khulay Asman Kay Nichay’ (KAKN) in Mumbai. Pakistani film actress Sana will be co-starring with Ms Kapoor.
Javed, who is currently filming in India, said that he would definitely be signing an Indian actress for KAKN but had not signed Ms Kapoor so far. “I am considering a few Indian actresses for a role in my upcoming movie,” Javed told Daily Times in a telephone conversation. “The heroines I have in mind are Kareena Kapoor, Bipasha Basoo, Lara Dutta and Prianka Chopra.” He said that Ms Kapoor’s signing of his film was a “mere rumour” because no agreement had been reached so far.
Javed said that he had just completed the shooting of an Indian flick called ‘Das’ in Canada. He is playing the role of an intelligence officer in the film and his co-stars include Sanjay Dutt, Abhishak Bachan and Esha Deol.
Meera, who was previously signed for the film, has been dropped now that Ms Kapoor has agreed to star in the film, sources said. Sources claim that Sana was not dropped from the project because “she is a close friend of Mr Sheikh and he does not make any films without her”.
“I want to move into the industry following a professional line of action,“Professionalism is necessary if you want to survive in show business.”
“Meera and I were initially signed for the film,” she said. “However, I do not know anything about Mr Sheikh’s change of plans.”
Sana said that she would be “happy” to work with Ms Kapoor. “Mr Sheikh can drop everyone from the project but not me,” she said. “The reason is that we are close friends and Mr Sheikh trusts me a lot. Whether Ms Kapoor works on the film or not, I will still be a part of it.”
She said that she had recently launched her website to allow fans to email her while she was on tour. The website is www.sanaonile.com and has been launched by a Dubai-based company called ‘Humming Bird’.
“With the launch of the website, my fans can now contact me whenver they want,” said Sana. “I would love to answer their emails and messages.”
