Kareena Kapoor is probably not known for her dance moves, but she’s being an entire professional about her item number within the Dabangg (2010) sequel. The makers remain noncommittal, however the latest news is that the actor was confirmed and is already doing extensive pre-shoot rehearsals.
“In fact, Bebo — for the past few days — was rehearsing hard whenever she gets break day Heroine. Although her schedule for Madhur’s (Bhandarkar) film could be very demanding, she goes out of her technique to prepare for the Dabangg 2 song,” says a source just about Kareena. “Till now, she has already rehearsed for approximately a week.”
Interestingly, Kareena’s number — unlike Malaika Arora Khan’s Munni Badnaam Hui in Dabangg — may be “quite western”. “Both Bebo and Salman Khan want the song to be completely fresh. That’s why the setting and treatment itself will make it look different,” says the insider.
Kareena, who has done special songs like Yeh Mera Dil (Don, 2006) and It’s Rocking (Kya Love Story Hai, 2007) within the past, is taking a private interest within the way the number seems. “Like Munni, Salman could also be slated to be a part of the song. He's also in contact with composers Sajid-Wajid too,” adds the insider.
When contacted, director-producer Arbaaz Khan says: “As a director, I’m entitled to have some privacy relating to certain details. If everything is out, my film could have no charm left. We haven’t taken a last call yet. I'M very excited by Kareena to do the song, but let it get recorded after which we will be able to see.”
But the insider insists that Bebo is prepared to do the song-and-dance routine. “It’s prone to be shot soon after Salman returns from Bangkok from his Ek Tha Tiger schedule, because Kareena will later get busy with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Ram-Leela, and can don't have any time to spare,” he says.
