Saif and Rani can’t stand each other off screen

It seems Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukherjee makes fairly a pair in Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic. As we all also know that it is believed that as co-stars they are very close to each other. The truth, like they say, is far ‘bitter’ than fiction. Saif and Rani can’t get along at all. They never have. In fact Rani has told some of her closest friends that Saif and she couldn’t see eye to eye during the making of Hum Tum.
What she doesn’t say aloud is that they couldn’t see eye to eye all through their second and third films Tara Rum Pum and Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, too. Though they did try to iron out their differences and though they did get along better during their second and third films, there was still a lot of friction between the two, both on personal and professional levels. They aren’t just very different as individuals but they are very different in their approach to a scene. These differences came to the surface in all their dramatic scenes together.
So why did they decide to come together in spite of their terrible differences during Hum Tum? Yashraj convinced them for doing so.
They have a limited number of A-listers on their roster. And in how many permutations can they put Abhishek, Rani, Preity and Shah Rukh? Saif and Rani provide an interesting study in contrast. During Tara Rum Pum in the US, the two argued heatedly in full view of the unit. The stress level during their third film together was greatly reduced. But there was still enough friction between the two.
During the long outdoor schedule of the film in Bangkok, Rani would try very hard to be part of Saif and Kareena’s inner circle. But Rani was the odd one out because Kareena never liked her in the first place. In fact Rani is now in a serious co-star crisis. She has outgrown Govinda. Things are just not the same between her and Abhishek after the wedding snub. Shah Rukh has moved on to fresher pairings. As for Saif, it’s unlikely to come together again even if their new film creates thoda magic at the box office.

Kareena Kapoor in Imtiaz Ali’s next upcoming

It is heard that R K Films wants Imtiaz Ali to direct their reappear vehicle with Kareena Kapoor in the lead role. Tremendously overwhelmed with Imtiaz's work in Jab We Met, Kareena’s father Randhir Kapoor approached the young director for their next film.
Jab We Met has been a high point in Kareena's career. Kareena's concert in the film has been highly commended and she also won several best actress awards for the same film. Our well-placed source in the industry said that Imtiaz extracted one of the finest performances from Kareena in Jab We Met. In fact, soon after Jab We Met, the Kapoors started toying with the idea of having Imtiaz on board. For long, the Kapoors have wanted to revitalize the R K banner. They thought of Imtiaz, who had earlier directed Socha Na Tha and who is an original and fine filmmaker.
Kareena also wanted to work with Imtiaz again. Currently, Imtiaz is busy with pre-production work for Saif Ali Khan's home production starring Saif and Deepika Padukone. Rishi Kapoor is also a part of Saif Ali Khan's home production. So obviously, he too will be talking with Imtiaz about directing a film for R K Films. But given Imtiaz's busy schedule for Saif’s film, R K Banner will have to wait for some time if they want him to direct their next. It seems that this will also put to rest all the rumours that all is not well between Kareena and Imtiaz. When Imtiaz insisted that he wanted Deepika for Saif's film, there were stories floating that Kareena was miffed over Imtiaz's insistence because she wanted to star opposite Saif in the film.
