Will Kareena Kapoor rewrite Bollywood norms by romancing a 20-year-younger actor?

Highlights:

  • Kareena Kapoor Khan to star as a ghost in an upcoming genre-bending film
  • The 44-year-old actress will reportedly be paired with an actor in his early 20s
  • Script is penned by Hussain Dalal, known for Brahmāstra
  • The film explores a quirky new take on the ghost genre and is currently unannounced

Kareena Kapoor Khan is reportedly all set to headline a new supernatural film, but with an unconventional twist. The Bollywood star, who turned 44 this year, will be seen playing a ghost in the upcoming project, which is also said to feature a much younger male lead, an actor in his early 20s. If confirmed, this pairing will mark a rare age-reversal in Bollywood casting, where older male actors have long romanced much younger actresses on screen.

According to reports, the film is described as a genre-defying and humorous take on ghost stories. The story is said to be written by Hussain Dalal, known for co-writing Brahmāstra and frequently collaborating with director Ayan Mukerji. While Kareena’s role as a female ghost is being celebrated as bold and experimental, her reported romantic pairing with a 20-something actor is what has caught everyone’s attention.
