Mumbai : It’s going to take much more than just rubbishing animosity claims for the two hot-bod actresses, Katrina and Kareena to put up a show of solidarity and sisterhood. Going by their current actions, it’s evident that the war between them is just getting messier by the day. And the latest feat in this cutthroat competition is bagged by the no longer size-zero diva of Bollywood, Kareena Kapoor.
The actress has replaced Katrina in the much-awaited sequel of 2008’s biggest success ‘Race’. Directed by Abbas Mastan, the film will have real life couple Saif and his arm-candy Kareena romancing on reel. Even though, the ever so eager love-birds Saif and Kareena’s first flick as a couple ‘Tashan’ might have fizzled out without a trace at the BO, that’s not keeping the top notch directors from signing on the glamorous two-some.
Speaking to a news daily, Ramesh Taurani from Tips says, "Yes, we are already working on the script of Race 2. We were thrilled with Race`s success. Theatrically and overseas, it grossed Rs 120 crore and was one of the blockbusters of 2008; that`s why we are planning a sequel to it. Abbas-Mustaan will direct the sequel while Saif and Anil will be retained. We are also going in for new casting with the sequel. Kareena will act in Race 2 opposite Saif. In Race, the story will be different while some of the characters will remain the same."
What’s more is that the sequel is going to be much thrilling and bigger than it’s first part and going by Saif and Kareena’s camaraderie it’s bound to be sexier. Talking to a news daily Saif said, "I am very excited to be part of the Race sequel. I have been offered many sequels but there are only certain films which merit a sequel Race is one of them. We aim to make Race 2 better than the original. It will be slicker, faster, sexier, more thrilling and upgraded in a much bigger way from Race."
Well, with Katrina out of the film, the conspiracy has already begun.
