Mohar Basu (MID-DAY; March 30, 2019)

Rumours have been rife that Kareena Kapoor Khan will join Irrfan Khan in the sequel to Hindi Medium (2017). In the latest development, mid-day has learnt that Kapoor will be seen as a cop in the Homi Adajania-directed venture.

A source close to the actor reveals, "While the film kicks off in April, Kareena will join the unit only by May-end during the London schedule. She will be seen as a cop in the satire. While she loved the script, Kareena was just as excited to play a police officer for the first time in her 19-year-long career. She intends to wrap up the sequel by November, in time to begin shooting for Karan Johar's period drama Takht." We sent a text to Adajania and producer Dinesh Vijan, who hadn't responded till the time of going to press.
