After Chameli and Dev, Kareena Kapoor is all set to don the de-glam avatar again.
As both these films have been close to Kareena’s heart – for the unique roles, the awards and the critical acclaim they got – she now has agreed to be the plain Jane in Sudhir Mishra’s next, Dhruv . The film also stars Farhan Akhtar and Mishra’s favourite, Chitrangada Singh.

Sudhir reveals: “It is a love story set against a political background. It is about a man and a woman and their journey amid a political scenario full of turmoils. It is about how their love for each other and for their respective parties bind and separate them.”

No! Gossip Mamu didn’t make that up!

Loud mouth Kareena, who turned 30 in September, made her histrionic brag in an interview with CNN IBN after host Rajiv Masand observed that Kareena’s ambitions appear to have changed.

Masand quizzed her on why she was going for big ticket movies such as RA.One, Agent Vinod and Bodyguard, instead of seeking challenging roles such as the ones that she did in Chameli, Dev and Omkara.
