It’s about the money

Kareena Kapoor has had enough. Even though the actress has been crowned as the reigning box office queen in Bollywood, detractors have made several unflattering remarks. Some in the trade also claim that she barely has had a contributing role to the success of blockbusters like 3 Idiots, Bodyguard and Golmaal 3. With Ra.One pegged as another potential top-grosser, Bebo is prepared for critics who’ll say that the film is entirely Shah Rukh Khan’s vision. What’s more, she doesn’t care for the opinion of that school of thought.
“See, I have moved on from that stage where I have to sit and wonder how much business my next film is going to do,” the actress asserts. “Eventually, no review or naysayer is going to change the way the audience accepts Ra.One. I keep hearing that it is expected to do `200 crore worth of business in India alone. Great! If it has to it will.”
Kareena is also vocal about her indifference towards those who’ve opined that her latest film will not live up to its monumental start. She sighs, “In this industry, it is rare that everyone is happy with the way a film turns out, or its success. The fact of the matter is that there are moneymaking films which do not get five-star reviews, but as long as our fans are going to the theatres and watching our films, nothing else bothers me. I am here to entertain the audience, not engage in rocket science.” Touché Bebo!
