Bollywood Begum Kareena Kapoor Khan has never settled for anything less, and there is no reason she should start now. Signing up for Rhea Kapoor's next production, 'Veera Di Shaadi', to be directed by Shashank Ghosh, the 'Bodyguard' actress made sure she scored the lead.
Reporting the news, a source said, “Kareena loved the script and the idea of acting in a chick flick for the first time, she made sure that hers had to be the meatiest role and that the story revolves around her character. Kareena is being very choosy about her roles now.” A possible adaptation of Hollywood flick 'The Sisterhood of The Travelling Pants', the movie is about four best friends, all of them finding love at some point of their journey. “Rhea's chick flick, however, will revolve around a big fat Punjabi wedding. The essence of the film will be about four girls on a journey from Delhi to Europe and it will culminate in Veera's wedding.”
The film also features Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhaskar,and Shikha Talsania. Stating that Kareena can afford to dictate terms, the source said, “She adds star value to the film, which otherwise only has Sonam. It just makes the project much bigger. Rhea had to bow down to her diktat and inform Sonam, who is a sensible girl. She agreed to play the second lead. Of course, everyone is hush-hush just now till they all start shooting in July.”
