Kareena Kapoor Khan is excited to collaborate with Ranveer Singh in Karan Johar's period drama, Takht. "It is great that finally after so many years, I will be sharing screen space with him. It was a long-due collaboration. He is a phenomenal actor," she says.

Kapoor was the first choice for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Ram Leela (2013). But when she tied the knot with Saif Ali Khan in 2012, Bhansali did a rethink. He was not too keen to have a married Leela and turned to Deepika Padukone instead. Kapoor had also turned down Bajirao Mastani (2015) and Dil Dhadakne Do (2015), both starring Singh.
