After setting hearts aflutter with her glamorous avatar in Veere Di Wedding, which releases this Friday, Kareena Kapoor Khan will be seen as a mother in Karan Johar’s next production.

Says a source, “Karan wanted Kareena to do a film with Dharma for the longest time. Right after Ki & Ka (2016), there were talks of her acting in a movie under KJo’s banner, but that had to be deferred because of her pregnancy. Now, both of them have decided to come together for Raj Mehta’s directorial venture.”

The actress is a doting mommy to her 17-month-old son Taimur. Our khabri reveals, “Given how Kareena plays the role of a mom in real life, she was the perfect fit. The film is a unique take on marriage and relationships. It’s a romcom with a sweet message. When Bebo heard the script, she instantly liked it.” Kareena was earlier seen as a mum in Shah Rukh Khan’s Ra.One.

The relationship drama will have three other actors, apart from Kareena, who plays the main lead. “The story revolves around two couples. While the first has been wedded for a few years, the second is newly married. Kareena will have another A-list actor from her age bracket opposite her.  The makers are trying to lock the young couple currently,” adds the source. Filming begins this November.
