Saif Ali Khan had a crackling chemistry in ‘Love Aaj Kal’ with Deepika Padukone. And finally the duo is coming up with 3 more films together ‘– Prakash Jha’s Aarakshan, Abbas-Mastan’s Race 2 and Homi Adajania’s Cocktail.

Their crackling chemistry led to some issues between Deepika and chote Nawab’s girl friend. But Deepika rubbishes all rumors and confirms that she has no issues with Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor.

It all started when Imtiaz chose Deepika instead of Kareena for Love Aaj Kaal. Deepika feels comparison is inevitable, but there’s no competition or animosity.

They were a successful pair in Love Aaj Kal. And now, Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone will be seen in three films together – Prakash Jha’s Aarakshan, Abbas-Mastan’s Race 2 and Homi Adajania’s Cocktail. The duo’s chemistry that was much-spoken about during Imtiaz Ali’s 2009 release had apparently led to some issues between Deepika and Saif’s girlfriend, Kareena Kapoor.

When asked whether these three films together may rake up that past, Deepika says, “Such reports haven’t changed my equation with Kareena. There is no animosity with her or Katrina,” says Deepika. “A lot of these stories are media created. I don’t even get a chance to interact with them to have an issue.”

The actor tried to play down the fact that Imtiaz and Prakash chose her over Kareena in Love Aaj Kal and Katrina in Aarakshan respectively by saying, “I have no idea if they wanted to be part of Aarakshan. And as for the comparisons, they are inevitable.”

Saif, who is happy about his pairing with Deepika in the forthcoming films, insists that the duo wouldn’t get monotonous on screen. “We have consciously tried to do things differently in these films, so that the pairing doesn’t look repeated,” he says, before Deepika added, “When we signed these films I wasn’t aware that we both were cast together. It’s a happy coincidence.”

Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan are jetting to London today for the filming of Homi Adjania directed Cocktail.

No, Kareena and Saif are not the lead stars of the film; Saif and Deepika Padukone are.

Kareena is accompanying Saif in the capacity of his partner.

This year Deepika is doing three films with Saif. Besides the soon to be released Aarakshan, there is Cocktail and Abbas Mustan’s Race 2. You would think that would cause Kareena to become insecure.

During a recent tête à tête Deepika assured us that she was being frequently paired with Saif only because they rocked in Love Aaj Kal (2009), and producers now consider them a lucky and successful screen couple.

Kareena is not in the least bit concerned over the frequent pairing, Deepika said, and any report that Kareena is, is pure media speculation.

So folks, we are not suggesting any insecurities on the part of Kareena, even though we are hearing about them from a source.

We are just reporting that Kareena will be in London with Saif for 10 days of the month long Cocktail schedule.

Kareena, who is currently filming for Reema Kagti’s next, has a 15 day break and plans to spend most of it shopping in London.

That actress’ Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra aren’t exactly buddies is a rather well-known fact in B-Town. Infact, the two apparently share enough cold vibes to make the distance between them a freeze zone. That both Bebo and PC are actress Shahid Kapoor’s exes now, don’t help things either.

There were ripples again on this calm surface when PC recently dropped by on the sets of Bebo’s beau actor Saif Ali Khan and even spent a considerable time with him. Sources say that PC’s attempt at friendship with the chhote Nawab proved to be a damp squib. “Priyanka’s no nuisance,” Kareena, apparently, laughed off the matter.

However, sources insist that knowing PC, her act was only meant to instigate Kareena. “Luckily she didn’t fall for the bait, but that doesn’t mean that she’s not watching out for her to try it again,” said a source.

Interestingly, Khan’s co-actress Deepika Padukone on the other hand is gaining brownie points as being Kapoor favourite Saif co-star. And those close to the couple reveal that she even talks highly of Deepika. “Though Saif is known to have shared a good rapport with Deepika on sets and the chemistry was also interesting in their last film together, Love Aaj Kal, Kareena knows there’s nothing to worry there. So, she’s pretty comfortable with Saif acting with Deepika again in his next films too. Besides, she’s a professional when it comes to matters like these,” the source added.

“Both look good on screen,” Kapoor had earlier said about Khan;s pairing with Padukone. As for Khan working with Chopra in the future, she adds, “I am working with other actors and so is Saif. Neither of us has any problems in that.” But when it comes to choosing co-stars, we’re sure that Khan certainly knows the ones to avoid for now.

Kapoor, is facing neck-to-neck competition for the ‘Leading Role Female’ actress award at the 12th Annual International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) ceremony scheduled to be held in Toronto June 23-25.
Apart from Bollywood’s other top two beauties – Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Katrina Kaif – Kapoor is also facing tough rivalry from Vidya Balan and newcomer Anushka Sharma.

Kapoor has been nominated for her unusual tomboyish character in Rohit Shetty’s romantic comedy thriller Golmaal 3.

The film’s earlier two serials were also hits at the box office and liked all around the world for its different but extraordinary comedy.

Kapoor played the lead role in the movie against Bollywood star Ajay Devgn supported by evergreen disco dancer Mithun Chakraborty, Arshad Warsi, Sharman Joshi, Tushar Kapoor, Johnny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Kunal Khemu, Sanjay Mishra, Ratna Pathak and Ashwini Khalsekar.

Born into the famous Kapoor family, Kareena is the daughter of Randhir Kapoor and Babita and sister of all-time hot and sexy Karishma Kapoor.

She made her acting debut in the 2000 film Refugee and since then has achieved as many as six Filmfare Awards.

Recently Kareena outsmarted hot actresses like Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra to win Stardust’s 2011 sexiest woman title.

However, in the race for the prestigious IIFA Award for the ‘leading female role’, Kapoor is facing tough competition from megastar Amitabh Bachchan’s daughter-in-law and former Miss Universe Aishwarya Rai, for her classic role in Guzaarish, and former sexiest woman Katrina Kaif for her character in Ranjeeti.

Newcomer Anushka Sharma, who worked with superstar Shah Rukh Khan in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, poses yet another threat for Kareena, for Sharma has also been nominated for her masti-filled lead role in Band Baaja Baaraat released in December 2010.

Produced by Aditya Chopra and directed by Maheesh Sharma, Band Baaja Baaraat is full of mauj, masti and dhamaal. Anushka Sharma plays a 20-year graduate and ambitious girl who wants to start her own wedding planning business.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who once again appeared with Hrithik Roshan in Bhansali’s extremely emotional and heart-breaking film Guzaarish, is the biggest threat for Kareena Kapoor. Rai played a truly classic and very special role.

In Guzaarish, she was seen as the nurse of Hrithik Roshan, a magician who becomes a quadriplegic when a trick goes wrong.

But Kareena Kapoor stays the front-runner as one of the most popular Bollywood celebrities, and her performances have always raised her to establish her as a style icon for young girls and women. This should be one interesting race.

In a world steeped in the quagmire of competition, it is but natural to have people confronting one another. While some of them are direct, most are insidious with people trying to exploit a situation to their advantage.

Quite recently, Kareena seemed to have been similarly confronted with Deepika claiming that she was originally considered for a number in SRK’s Ra One. The film features Bebo opposite King Khan and according to the reliable sources the film does not involve the use of any item number. The concerned number being highlighted by Deepika can in no way be considered as an item number. According to the director, it is an integral part of the film. Kareena being the female lead is rightly enacting the peppy dance number.

Deepika’s claim that she was initially chosen for the hot number, has naturally upset Kareena. But the seasoned actress finds it amusing as well. To all intents and purpose, the starry eyed Deepika is only voicing her frustration, with the failure of another of her dance number.

While audience still waits the release of SRK produced Ra One, claim and counter claims regarding one of its dance numbers have come out into the open. With competition being the key word such issues should be taken in stride.

Bollywood’s sizzling hottie Kareena Kapoor and tinsel town’s new pin-up boy Siddharth Mallya recently had something important in common. Wondering what that is? Well they attended the fashion week held recently without their better halves Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone.

It is seen quite often that Kareena and Sidhartha have attended same social events without their lovers in tow and have often ended up hanging out together. On second day of Lakme Fashion Week, Kareena became the showstopper of the Manish Malhotra show. Kareena was looking ravishing in a white anarkali dress designed by Manish. The actress attended the fashion show came along with Amrita Arora and Sophie Chaudhary including the director of Jab We Met, Imtiaz Ali.

On third day Sidhartha Mallya came with friend Atul Kasbekar on the show of Deepika’s favorite designer pair ‘Shantanu and Nikhil’. In the last season of the Fashion Week Deepika was the showstopper.

Manish, Shantanu & Nikhil revealed to media, “Deepika Padukone is shooting for Prakash Jha’s ‘Aarakshan’ and so is Saif.” So while Love Aaj Kal duo Saif and Deepika is shooting together in Bhopal their better halves are attending the same fashion week in Mumbai……together!

Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan will be in Delhi shortly after the Holi weekend to shoot the climax scene of Saif’s home production Agent Vinod.

The Delhi schedule will be followed by schedules in London, UAE, and finally Russia.

Kareena’s other ongoing projects include Bodyguard with co-star Salman Khan, Short Term Shaadi with Imran Khan, and Reema Kagti’s Next with co-stars Aamir Khan and Rani Mukerji.

Saif recently wrapped filming for Prakash Jha’s Aarakshan in Bhopal, with co-stars Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone.

Agent Vinod, a spy thriller directed by Sriram Raghvan, began production in May 2010 with schedules in India, Morocco and France.

The director had earlier indicated that an hour of footage is ready. The remaining three schedules are big action sequences, expensive and vfx heavy.

Saif and Kareena will be undergoing training for a crucial night chopper scene. George A. Aguilar (The Scarlet Letter) and his team from the US will be designing the sequence.

The film is scheduled for release on December 9.

Kareena is on holiday with her boy friend Saif Ali Khan in Switzerland. Kareena is happy with Saif and plans to marry in 2012. There are strong roumers in the film industry that Kareena’s sister Karishma’s marriage with Industrialist Sanjay Kapoor is a closed chapter. On this Kareena says, “For last 15 years my sister has avoided talking any thing about her personal in public. Still she does not like to talk this in public. We even do not talk her about acting in films because she has responsibility of two children. She is full time Mother. Whenever she gets time she works for few Adv & she looks super hit.”

This year kareena’s films, Agent Vinod with Saif, Ra.One with Shah Rukh Khan, Short Term Shaadi with Imran Khan, Body Guard wtih Aamir Khan are going to be released. Kareena is happy since she got chance to act with Aamir Khan immidiately after the success of 3 Idiots. Saif Ali Khan is working with Deepika Padukone in his third home production film but Kareena doesn’t have any problem on this.

Well lets wait for 2012 to come & see them getting married.
