LOVE AAJ KAL - the role was nowhere near as strong as Geet for Kareena to do it. It suited a newcomer like Deepika perfectly.ROCKSTAR - she could hardly play Ranbir's love interest - plus the role was again not good enough to be the follow-up to Geet.HIGHWAY - he wanted to cast his first heroine Ayesha Takia when he originally wanted to make this film a decade earlier - then when he restarted the project he considered Kareena, but by the time he made it Kareena didn't look 17 years old any more...TAMASHA - again same issue of working with Ranbir.THE RING - no idea about the role, will wait and see. But I know he's wanted to work with Anushka for ages.

Some of your points I agree, but for Love Aaj Kal, Kareena badly wanted to do it and there were interviews where she kept asking don't know why he didn't ask me for it... at the time Imi was firm on having Deepika than Kareena...

Oh don't get me wrong. I know Kareena was dying for the role. She even mentioned it while accepting her first and only Filmfare Best Actress Award no less 😲😆But my point was that Imtiaz felt that the role was not good enough to give to her after Geet (which he has said in interviews) - he wanted a new face and had cast his eye on Deepika even before the release of both JWM + OSO.They began shooting before Deepika's second film even came out. I know this because I was an extra on it. 😳

Jab We Met wasn't THAT big hit as you're making it out. It just a hit. That's all.
