Kareena to replace Rani in Tigmanshu Dhulia's next?
Tigmanshu Dhulia struck gold with his 2012 release Paan Singh Tomar. The Irrfan Khan starrer not only got the filmmaker critical acclaim but also set the cash registers ringing. And now, Dhulia has decided to move on to his next project ' a periodic film based on the life of Begum Joanna Nobilis Sombre aka Begum Samru. And though it was reported that Rani Mukerji was all set to play the protagonist in the venture, Mirror has learnt that Kareena Kapoor may replace her.
Begam Samru was a nautch girl of 18th century India. She later became an influential figure on the political canvas of 18th and 19th century India. A strong and powerful woman, Begum Samru married a European and became the ruler of a principality near Meerut. According to a source close to Kareena, Rani was taking her own sweet time to get back on Dhulia's offer. And thus, the filmmaker chose to move on to Kareena. We have learnt that Dhulia has even made a few changes for the character to suit Kareena.
The source revealed, "Tigmanshu met Kareena. She was quite excited about being a part of this film." The modalities are fast being worked out. The film is expected to go on floors by September or October this year.
