Kareena Kapoor ought to be flattered. She is being sought rather desperately by filmmaker Sudhir Mishra for his film Dhruv.

The movie will be a modern day interpretation of Devdas. And before you yawn and mutter “not again!”, let us tell you that Mishra promises to come up with a very new and fresh take on Devdas.

In Mishra’s words, it’s going to be more of Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Sarat Chandra’s Devdas.

To play the role of Pooja (modern-day Paro), Sudhir is seeking Kareena Kapoor. And he says that no other actress except Kareena can do the role because it was written with her in mind.

So you have a nephew now, does he look just like you?
(Laughs) Actually he looks a lot like Karisma. Even the name, Kiaan Raj, was chosen by my sister. Samaira came from Sanjay (Karisma’s
husband Sanjay’s Kapur), she looks a lot like her daddy too.

Kiaan has Karisma’s blue eyes?
They are grey right now but may be they will change.

We met Kareena for a chat at Saif Ali Khan’s Bandra residence where she was beaming because of her newborn nephew and her week-long break to spend time with family. Kareena was surfing the net when we entered the tastefully done apartment. Saif left for some shopping when the interview began and came back later for a casual chat

• How is life now that you have become a maasi for the second time?
Absolutely amazing. The baby boy (Kiaan) is really cute. Samaria looks so much like Sunjay (Kapur) but the newborn looks just like Karisma. It’s celebration time as the family has a boy after a long time.
