Karan Johar has begun work on his next production called Short Term Shaadi, which stars Imran Khan and Kareena Kapoor in lead roles.

The movie, produced under the Dharma Productions banner and directed by Shakun Batra, has gone on floors. Short Term Shaadi also stars Boman Irani.

In 2010, Dharma Productions released three films namely My Name Is Khan, I Hate Luv Storys and We Are Family. Dharma is also co-producing an animation film with Prana Studios called Koochie Koochie Hota Hai, which will have voices by Shah Rukh khan, Kajol and Rani Mukherji and will be directed by Tarun Mansukhani. The story is by Johar.

Kareena Kapoor, the sizzling hot babe of bollywood who featured in a hot love making scene with Saif in just released Karan Johar’s flick ‘Kurbaan’, failed to attract viewers at the box office and ended at making collections worth 40 percent on the weekend.

The trade analysts are disappointed at the poor opening response to Karan Johar’s flick which ranged from a meager thirty percent on Friday at Fun chain of cinemas to around forty percent at Cinemax chain from across the country. Even, Saturday was not better and could enhance only up to five percentage point at these big chain of multiplexes.

It has barely been three months when Mallika Sherawat launched a milkshake named after her. Now Kareena Kapoor follows the same route and has launches an international brand of pizza loaded with cheese layers but ironically called ‘Kareena Kapoor Size-Zero Pizza’. The pizza has toppings of finely diced chicken, red chillies, baby corn and is spiked with onions.

Kareena is obviously happy with this and says, “I love Italian food. I must eat pizza at least twice a week; and yes, I’m flattered that a pizza has been named after me.’’

Two-film-old Ranbir Kapoor should be feeling quite proud of himself. The young actor’s latest film has a budget which exceeds Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s next film by 18 crores. Ranbir’s Wake Up Sid as well as Saif and Kareena’s Jehaad are both being produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.

WAKE Up Sid is a romance set in Mumbai revolving around a good looking young man (Ranbir Kapoor) who falls for an older, simple woman (Konkona Sen Sharma), who is a writer from Kolkata. A source from the production team says, “The film’s budget was initially 80 crores but due to the recent market condition, it was reduced to 60 crores. Hopefully, the film will release in October this year.”
