Kareena to star in the Hindi remake of Marathi film Aapla Manus

Released on 9th February 2018, the Marathi language film, Aapla Manus, has been doing exceptional business at the cash counters ever since hitting screens. The runaway success of the movie has inspired well-known filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker to remake it in Hindi. And the first actress she has approached to play the female lead in it is none other than Kareena Kapoor Khan.

Kareena, who was on a break from films for the birth of her son, Taimur Ali Khan Pataudi, resumed work last year for the upcoming Hindi film, Veerey Di Wedding. Besides Veerey Di Wedding, there are no reports about her association with some other projects. If she signs Gowariker’s film, it will be her second venture after her pregnancy.


According to reports, Gowariker has met Kareena for a couple of times in the past few weeks. Buzz also has it that the actress has loved the story and is now waiting for the final draft of the script to get ready before locking the project.

Directed by Satish Rajwade, Aapla Manush is produced by Ajay Devgn. It will be interesting to see if the superstar shows his interest in backing the Hindi remake as well.

Meanwhile, the Kareena Kapoor starrer, Veerey Di Wedding, is coming in cinemas on 1st June. Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhasker and Shikha Talsania also play pivotal roles in the movie.

Riz Ahmed has entered Hamlet in a way British cinema has not quite seen. The new Hamlet trailer has been released by Universal, giving the first proper look at Aneil Karia’s modern take on Shakespeare and placing the story inside a British South Asian business empire. It is due in cinemas on 6 February, and the footage shows a tense, controlled Ahmed moving through grief, suspicion and family power.

The film teams Ahmed and Karia again after The Long Goodbye, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short. That success informs this production. This is the first time a major UK studio release has grounded Hamlet within a South Asian household for a wide audience.
