It was one casting coup waiting to happen but that hasn't been the case
to be. For the 'Vote Aapke Haath Mein Hai' campaign produced by Karan
Johar for Dharma Productions, John Abraham, Bipasha Basu and Katrina
Kaif were the chosen ones (amongst a dozen odd other youth icons) to
participate in a specially created video. However, at the last moment,
the trio couldn't be a part of the video for different reasons and
director Tarun Mansukhani had to contend with other actors.

Ace Bollywood director Karan Johar has roped in 'Kajol' and 'Kareena Kapoor' together in order to recreate the success of his blockbuster movie 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham'.

According to reports, Kajol and Bebo, who played real sisters in K3G -1, have been finalized by Johar.

However, Karan, who is currently busy with 'My Name Is Khan', will start shooting for the movie after completing his existing projects.

A source said, "Kajol and Kareena have been finalised for Karan Johar's forthcoming film, which will start once the actors are free from their on-going films."

Shah Rukh Khan – Kajol starrer My Name Is Khan directed by their best buddy Karan Johar seems to be spoiling relations between Kajol and KJo.

After Slumdog Millionaire the West wants more of the Mumbai slums. Last week Karan Johar shot some key slum sequences in Borivali with the the Slumdog Millionaire kid Tanay Cheda who played the teenage protagonist Jamal in Danny Boyle’s film, and the incredibly underused Zarina Wahab who plays the Khan’s mother.

Karan chose the boy to play the childhood section of Shah Rukh’s life not only because of his facial likeness to Shah Rukh, but also because of the Tanay’s instant connectivity with the Mumbai slums and thereafter the Western audience.

Rumours are rife in trade circles that Karan Johar’s Rensil D’Silva directed film being shot in USA had ran into rough weather due to financial problems.

Sources reveal, “The shooting schedule of KJo’s yet untitled film starring Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Vivek Oberoi few weeks back went haywire as many dues of local production people were not cleared. Financial trouble had erupted on the sets because of the same. But the fault wasn’t Karan’s Dharma Productions’ as it is famous for its fair deal treatment especially when shooting abroad.
