Kareena's nakras

Kareena refuses to dub for Boney Kapoor’s Milenge Milenge. Wants Imtiaz Ali’s film (also co-starring Shahid Kapur) to release first
The long in making Shahid-Kareena starrer Milenge Milenge, produced by Boney Kapoor, is in troubled waters again. This time, Kareena has refused to dub for the film.Debacle jodi?Says a source, “Kareena does not want to dub for Milenge Milenge even though it’s been ready for two years, as she is not excited about it. Apparently, she thinks that the Ashtavinayak film with Imtiaz Ali as director is a better proposition to upgrade the commercial prospects of her jodi with Shahid. Hence, she wants this project to release before Milenge Milenge.” The couple’s past films together, including Ken Ghosh’s Fida, Priyadarshan’s Chup Chup Ke and Abbas-Mustan’s 36 China Town failed to make a mark on he box office, so Kareena wants to play safe. “In the process, she is being very unprofessional with Boney, who paid her a whopping amount for Khushi simply because she agreed to do Milenge Milenge,” says the source.Murky watersInterestingly, Kareena’s beau Shahid is the reason Salman Khan did not do a guest appearance in Milenge Milenge, even though he had committed dates for it to Boney. The buzz is that he developed a problem with Shahid during last year’s Rockstars tour. When he returned from the concert with Shahid and Kareena, he refused to give dates to Boney. Apparently, Salman was angry at Shahid’s reluctance to reduce his concert fees when the organisers were in a tough spot. When we try to contact Kareena, her publicist simply says, “Kareena does not want to talk about it.”Satish Kaushik, the director of Milenge Milenge, does not deny that his film has been ready for two years but passes the buck on to Boney. “The delay is from Boney’s side. Kareena has no problems. Boney’s production house had a few financial problems (until No Entry did the trick), which have been sorted out now. We plan to release the film by the end of this year,” he says.Funnily enough, Boney says he hasn’t planned the release of Milenge Milenge yet! He says, “I will decide the release date of Milenge Milenge only after I return from Bangkok, where I am shooting Pokhiri. Kareena and Babita have seen the film.” An actor (requesting anonymity) from Milenge Milenge says he has no clue about when the film will see the light of day. “I have not been called to shoot for a long, long time. I have no idea what’s happening to it. I don’t know who is dubbing and who is not, but I pray it sees the light of day soon,” he says.
