Kareena not doing a ‘Black’

Mumbai: Where is Kareena Kapoor? And has she really signed a film in which she plays a physically challenged girl - a la ‘Black?’ Kareena laughs loudly. “Yeah, I’m playing a deaf and mute girl in Priyadarshan’s next film. But the character and the film are nothing like Rani Mukherjee and ‘Black’. “Though I’m physically challenged the film is a kind of comedy... a comedy on the vagaries of life... I’m really looking forward to working with Priyan again. I’ve just completed another, still untitled with him, where I pair with Salman Khan for the first time. Audiences are going to faint when they see how good Salman and I look together.”

And who do you think will co-star with Kareena in Priyan’s next? “Shahid,” she giggles referring to boyfriend Shahid Kapoor. “And look at the coincidence. Shahid is also with me in the other new film I’ve signed with Abbas-Mustan. It’s a kind of romantic comedy where I get to do something I’ve never done before.” Is Kareena scared to work with Abbas-Mustan again? “Not at all! In fact I was offered Priyanka’s role in ‘Aitraaz,’ she said.
