Exclusive: Will Kareena Kapoor Khan's new project be hampered by the current COVID-19 situation?


Those who have been wondering when they will see the stunning Kareena Kapoor Khan in front of the camera can rejoice. The actress will begin shooting for Sujoy Ghosh's untitled thriller in March, depending on the current COVID-19 situation, which the team is closely monitoring. The most recent development is that, with the number of COVID-19 cases on the rise, no one knows when the shoot will begin.

Jay Shewakramani is producing Sujoy's next film. According to our sources, the actress has signed on for the thriller drama and will begin filming soon. Sujoy's next female-oriented film will follow Kahani (Vidya Balan) and Badla (Taapsee Pannu). After she finishes it, Kareena's next project will begin, in which she will not only act but also co-produce with Hansal Mehta and Ekta Kapoor.

Kareena's signing spree after two years! She gave birth to her and Saif Ali Khan's second child, Jehangir, on February 21, last year, and took a break to care for the baby. Kareena was most recently seen in Veere Di Wedding, Good Newwz, and a supporting role in Irrfan Khan's comedy-drama Angrezi Medium (2019). Laal Singh Chaddha, her film with Aamir Khan, will be released on April 14 of this year.

According to a trade source, "she is very choosy about her movies because Kareena wants her character to have a certain graph." Interestingly, both of the projects she has signed are thrillers that will take the actress into uncharted territory. They are challenging but very different roles, but Kareena is a seasoned performer who is excited to work with successful directors like Sujoy and Hansal, who are known for providing wonderful storytelling content and powerful characters. She will also be working with great actors such as Jaideep Ahlawat and Vijay Varma, making this a very exciting project for her. It will take two months from start to finish.

"According to the source, while Kareena has been in talks with Sujoy Ghosh, she recently gave her approval to the film. "She met with Sujoy last week at his office to discuss the film's planning, including the finalisation of her look." The details are still being worked out, but the plan is to begin in March in the picturesque West Bengal hill stations of Kalimpong and Darjeeling. However, with cases increasing throughout India and West Bengal, Sujoy, Jay, and their team are closely monitoring the Covid situation and will make a decision only when things improve. As a result, nothing has been confirmed as of yet."

Hansal Mehta will direct Kareena's next film after Sujoy's thriller. He described his film with Kareena as "a fresh, gripping, and moody thriller with Kareena playing a character that I am hoping will do justice to her immense talent as an actor" when it was announced last year.

Kareena will make her debut as a producer in the film, which is produced by Ekta Kapoor and Hansal . The trio announced the project last year, and it is said to be inspired by a true-life incident. Kareena plays the protagonist in the storey, which is set in the United Kingdom and is said to be full of twists and turns. Now that Faraaz is finished and in post-production, Hansal, Ekta, and their teams are working on Kareena's next release dates."

Kareena has always shone in her films, no matter what role she plays, with blockbusters like Good Newwz and Veere Di Wedding, and with Sujoy and Hansal's projects, this year promises to be an exciting one for the actress.
