When she’s busy, he is too

The weekend finally saw the much-delayed Heroine get underway, with Kareena Kapoor stepping into what is touted to be the “role of her career”. And while Madhur Bhandarkar gets his magnum opus up and running with Kareena, her beau Saif Ali Khan is putting his own plans in place. Saif is currently trying to wrap up two of his films: Agent Vinod and Cocktail.
“Now that Kareena will be busy with Heroine, Saif plans to complete the shoot of Cocktail, for which he has left for Cape Town,” says a friend of the couple. “They try to get together during their spare time, and accordingly match their shooting schedules as well.”
Cocktail has been in the works for quite some time now, while Agent Vinod too has been going on for over a year and a half. They have left Saif with only one major release in almost two years: Aarakshan. “Saif doesn’t mind the time it takes though, as it’s a film that’s really special for him. It’s a love story written by Imtiaz Ali, and has elements of friendship and betrayal. He is keen on Cocktail being the next major release of his after Agent Vinod,” says a co-actor.
Meanwhile, Kareena couldn’t have asked for a better film than Heroine, considering she has just worked in male-centric films like Bodyguard and Ra.One. Even though she insists that’s not the way she is approaching the venture. “All that mattered to me was that Madhur came to me again with the script, and I did it because it was a great film,” she clarifies.
