In a latest interview with Rajeev Masand actor Kareena Kapoor Khan revealed that she has never auditioned for a role. Not even for her debut film- Refugee. The actress said that she had to audition for her upcoming film Laal Singh Chaddha. The film is a remake of Hollywood hit Forrest Gump and Kareena will star in the film with Aamir Khan.
Talking to Rajeev Masand, Kareena said Aamir wanted to be sure about it. “Because knowing the way that he is, he wanted to be like 100% sure. So, out of the blue, I got a call from Aamir. ‘I want you to hear this film, this and that and I am very excited about it.’ I heard the script, then the minute he called me and he was like let’s read some scenes. I want you to read some scenes. So I was like yeah, I have never done something like this. I thought like what the hell. I want to see myself if I want to do this or not and you know there is nothing wrong in that,” she said.
Kareena confessed that though she had never auditioned earlier, she would want to do it in future. She said, “But you know what, times are changing and if I don’t evolve and I behave like I am some diva or this is beyond me...And Saif was the one who told me ‘What’s wrong with you? Even an Al Pacino would test for the part. There is nothing wrong, we all have to be sure as actors and artists.’”
Kareena will play Robin Wright’s character from the film while Aamir will play Tom Hanks’ iconic character. Asked if any A-lister male actor will agree to the film if the roles were swapped, if Aamir Khan would be in ‘Laali Singh Chaddha’, Kareena said, “I think that he is the bravest of brave so I wouldn’t put anything past him...someone like Saif. But if you are asking me about Ranveer Singh or Varun Dhawan, I am not quite sure. You need to have that mind. I don’t know what zone they are in. They have started their careers where they are like this is it.”
However, she remains hopeful. “But you know, times are changing. Anything is possible. I mean Brad Pitt like a small part in Babel. He wasn’t the central character. So anything can happen,” she said.
Kareena will also soon be seen in Good Newzz, Angrezi Medium and Takht.
