She gets herself a good role in his home production

Kareena Kapoor is finally going to play a full-fledged role in Saif Ali Khan's home production "Agent Vinod". She wants the spy drama to be hot and says even the posters will be designed to portray them as Bollywood's "coolest hot pair".

It is being said that in the beginning, Kareena's role in the film was relatively less substantial than Saif's.

When quizzed, Kareena told IANS: "Do you think I'd agree to be part of the film if my role was not as exciting as Saif? I mean, can you imagine what would happen? Saif and I will be smouldering hot in 'Agent Vinod'. Even the posters will be designed to highlight us as the coolest hot pair."

A source close to the project added: "In fact Kareena wasn't sure she wanted to do 'Agent Vinod' because the title clearly indicated whom the film belonged to. But Saif convinced Kareena that her role would be at par with his. Then he convinced Sriram (Raghavan), with whom Saif has a deep rapport since they did 'Ek Hasina Thi' (2004), to make sure Kareena's presence in the film is justified."

And here is where the problem creeps in. While Saif-Kareena are looking to do a high-gloss big-budget espionage thriller, director Raghavan is looking at making a gritty life-like spy drama.

Raghavan admits that the film will be more in the mood of Mani Shankar's "Mukhbiir" than director Deepak Bahry's 1977 movie "Agent Vinod". At the same time he says the high budget of the new-age "Agent Vinod" forbids any over-experimentation.

"I grew up watching those really filmy spy films like 'Farz', 'Aankhen', 'Yakeen' and of course Rajshris' 'Agent Vinod'. I've been fascinated by the genre. However, times have changed and so have definitions of espionage. My film will occupy a more real space," said Raghavan.

"I've never worked on this kind of budget before. And I can't afford to be experimental. The market has to be kept in mind. So there will be music and songs. But no lip sync songs," said Raghavan.

Saif-Kareena

Saif’s mum Sharmila might have flown down from outdoor shoots just to make soup for dad Pataudi, but the actor has taken his romance to new heights by getting ‘Kareena’ tattooed on his arms. And it doesn’t end there. He has even slashed his palm in front of friends to prove his love for Kareena. In turn, Bebo bought him one of the world’s most expensive music systems.

Masala! Says

Bebo baby, maybe Saif would have preferred to see his name on your arm instead. We know it’s very painful but then Love Ke Liye... See it...
