Kareena Kapoor Khan in talks to star opposite Aamir Khan

Bollywood diva Kareena Kapoor Khan is on a roll these days! Apart from bagging some prominent parts in Hindi movies, she is gearing up to make her grand television debut with the next season of popular dance reality show Dance India Dance.

The latest we hear that the actress, who was last seen in Veere Di Wedding (2018), might reunite with superstar Aamir Khan. Buzz has it that she is in the running for a role in Mr. Perfectionist’s much-awaited film Lal Singh Chaddha.


If the actress indeed bags the part, Lal Singh Chaddha will mark her on-screen reunion with Aamir Khan after seven years. The duo was last seen together in the Reema Kagti-directed psychological horror thriller Talaash: The Answer Lies Within (2012).

If a source close to the development is to be believed, Aamir Khan is very keen to have Kareena onboard. “The chemistry between the characters must be effortless. Aamir wants Kareena to play the part. She is in London till August, shooting for Angrezi Medium. She will make a pit stop in Mumbai next month for her TV commitments. The final call on the casting will be taken then,” reports an English tabloid.

For the uninitiated, Lal Singh Chaddha is a remake of the hit Hollywood film Forrest Gump (1994), starring Tom Hanks in the lead role. The Bollywood remake of the film will be directed by filmmaker Advait Chauhan, who made his directorial debut with Secret Superstar (2017). Lal Singh Chaddha is aiming to buzz into theatres around Christmas, 2020.

Kareena Kapoor Khan is also doing Karan Johar’s ambitious period drama Takht. Also featuring Ranveer Singh, Vicky Kaushal, Anil Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Bhumi Pednekar and Janhvi Kapoor on its ensemble cast, the movie is expected to roll towards the end of the year.
