by TV18.

Excited

Said Kareena, "Yes, I have been approached by Anurag. I am reading the script and meeting him for a proper narration next week.

I love his genre of cinema, as it's something I haven't done before. I saw Black Friday and found it intense, raw and edgy. I love that kind of cinema as an actress, it gives me that much more to perform."

Kareena is now shooting for Karan Johar's remake ofu00a0 Stepmom. Kareena's film Main Aurr Mrs Khanna released yesterday, but the actress didn't promote it much.

A source close to her said, "Kareena signed the film for money. She was paid a whopping amount for it with which she bought two beautiful flats in Bandra."
