Bebo To Rock In Fifa Video
Kareena Kapoor is all set to add Bollywood glamour to the official FIFA World Cup music video. She will be seen in a special video for the event along with Hollywood stars such as Matt Damon, Jessica Alba and Kevin Spacey. And Bebo is the only Indian face in the song. Although the actress is yet to go on record about her big-ticket assignment.
"Yes, Kareena is doing the FIFA video but it is too early to divulge details because things are still being finalised," said a source close to the actress. The source added Kareena had already informed the producers of her current assignments that she would need a break for the video.
Kareena is accordingly working out her dates and finalising the costumes she will wear. This is Kareena's first shot at football, but her co-stars in the video, Jessica and Matt, have had their brush with sports.
Apart from Kareena, Bollywood music composer duo Salim-Sulaiman has composing an original song which they will perform at the opening and closing ceremonies of football's biggest extravaganza. The World Cup will take place in South Africa from June 11 to July 11.
She is also shooting for Karan Johar's remake of Stepmom and Shah Rukh Khan's Ra. One, after which she will start work on Madhur Bhandarkar's Heroine.
Kareena has decided not to sign any new film this year because she wants to focus on playing an actress in Bhandarkar's Heroine. Right now, she is doing research for the role by studying closely the works of several famous actresses.
Besides Hollywood greats such as Ava Gardner, Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe, Kareena is also studying the films of Madhubala, Nutan and her mother Babita.
Kareena wants to dedicate Heroine to the yesteryear Indian divas. Bhandarkar apparently wanted Kareena to put on weight for the role, but she has reportedly refused saying she is already voluptuous.
Kareena's arch-rival Katrina Kaif is all set to play the gorgeous Madhubala in Anurag Basu's upcoming biopic on Kishore Kumar.
Kareena's next release will be Boney Kapoor's long-in-the-making Milenge Milenge, in which she stars opposite ex-boyfriend Shahid Kapur.
