Kareena Kapoor, the beautiful lass of bollywood who played a super model in just released mega budget flick Kambakkht Ishq opposite Akshay Kumar, has blasted producer Pritish Nandy for terming her work in the film as ‘joke’.
The sexy bombshell of bollywood went on to slam Pritish Nandy by saying that he seems to have too much time to comment on blogs and through other medium about others, rather than concentrating on his own work. The furious bollywood babe even advised the veteran producer to be more focused on his production activities and not interfere in other people’s lives.
Kareena Kapoor gave her own example of being focused on her work so much so that she did not have time to even check her e-mails, leave alone blogging like Pritish Nandy.
Kareena Kapoor slamming of Pritish Nandy came after the producer had commented on his twitter account that Bebo looked a ‘joke’ in Sajid Nadiadwala’s big budget movie ‘Kambakht Ishq’, and if anyone wanted to see her in a stunningly beautiful avatar, he should watch her in ‘Chameli’.
It may be recalled that Kareena Kapoor had played the part of a prostitute in ‘Chameli’, which was produced by Pritish Nandy in 2003 through his production company Pritish Nandy Communications. The arty flick had been directed by Sudhir Mishra, while Rahul Bose played the lead character in the film. Kareena had also received critical acclaim for her role.
But that was then. Kareena Kapoor has moved on in her bollywood career and does not hesitate in slamming the veteran producer, if he says anything against her. So what if Pritish Nandy gave her a path- breaking role in his film so early in her career.
Sources say that Kareena Kapoor is pained at the attitude of knowledgeable people like Pritish Nandy, who fail to realize that even if it was a fun role in ‘Kambakkht Ishq’ for her, Kareena had to work very hard to enact it on the celluloid. There was no less effort from the actress than she had done for ‘Chameli’.
The grapevine also has it that Kareena Kapoor feels that she and her film ‘Kambakkht Ishq’ was being unfairly targeted by some groups in bollywood, who wanted the film to bomb at the box office. It was clear when they attacked the film even without waiting for the audience reaction to come out after the weekend, and this explains Kareena Kapoor’s belligerence towards defending herself and ‘Kambakkht Ishq’.
However, fortunately for Kareena Kapoor and ‘Kambakkht Ishq’, the latest figures released by Eros show that the film grossed above Rs 100 crore in the first week itself. Of these, Rs 70 crore has come from the domestic circuit and Rs 21 crore from overseas. Rs 10 crore came from music and digital rights.
Considering the fact that the cost of this Akshay Kumar-Kareena Kapoor starrer was around Rs 62 crores, it has already covered its price and earned profit for its producers. Even, Akshay Kumar should be heaving a sigh of relief after his two flops—‘Chandni Chowk To China’, and ‘Tasveer’ at the box office.
Though Kareena may somehow feel relieved after ‘Kambakkht Ishq’ has been declared a hit, she is in no mood to tie the knot yet. Though Saif Ali Khan’s mother Sharmila Tagore wants it to happen soon, the gorgeous babe wants to enjoy her single status for at least two more years
