Kareena Kapoor Khan made her debut in Refugee (2000) with Abhishek Bachchan but hasn’t worked with him again since Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon (2003). In November, Bebo will be seen in a cameo in The Shaukeens, in which Abhishek too has done a friendly appearance. It sure looks like Abhishek Sharma’s The Shaukeens is getting more star-studded with each passing day.

It is learnt that Bebo shot for the film last week in a studio in Bandra, Mumbai. The actress was already engaged in a photo-shoot for an endorsement at the same studio, so she requested the makers of The Shaukeens to organise their scenes to be shot at the same venue.

Sharma has been so impressed with Bebo’s scene that he’s been raving about it. When we spoke to him, his excitement was palpable. “I had never worked with Kareena before,” he says, adding, “When she is in front of the camera, she is just electrifying. And she has such great comic timing — we had a blast.”

An insider adds, “In fact, when the two met at the shoot, Kareena and Sharma got along like a house on fire. Though she hadn’t seen his first film (Tere Bin Laden), she told him she had heard great things about it. She even expressed a keen desire to watch The Shaukeens before she leaves for Delhi in the first week of November for a film shooting.”

Interestingly, the last time bebo and baby Bachchan were part of the same film was in JP Dutta’s LoC Kargil, which released in December 2003. Now, 11 years later, they come together once more for The Shaukeens.
