Kareena is still part of ‘Kismet Talkies’

When Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor agreed to be cast together in the Zoya Akhtar directorial, ‘Kismet Talkies’ to be produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar, it seemed a casting coup. Incidentally, the two actors had decided not to act together for a while now. However, it later came to be known that Hrithik had decided not to be a part of the film. The recent buzz is that Kareena has also decided to walk out of the film.
Ritesh refutes this saying, “First of all, Hrithik didn’t walk out of the film. Zoya and he have been in talks for a year and half! During the conversations, they got excited about another project.
They want to work together on that film first.” He continues, “However, we still want to produce ‘Kismet Talkies’. So we have been in talks with other actors to be cast opposite Kareena. Kareena is still very much a part of our film. We are waiting to get the right actor and his dates to pair opposite her. We are disturbed by the rumours of Kareena not being a part of our movie. ‘Kismet Talkies’ excites us as a film and we cannot wait to start shooting it,” he asserts.
