“A few months ago, Shoaib Mansoor had emailed his concept to Kareena, saying that she will have a powerful role in the film,” said a source close to Kareena. “She liked the idea but wanted to read the script before giving her nod to the film. She will be the first A-list actor to work in a Pakistani project,” the source added.
Bebo has been on the lookout for projects that would allow her to “push the envelope” and feels Shoaib’s story is one of them, according to the source. Earlier, it was reported that Kareena is a huge fan of his and had said, “I really want to work with him. He has made some fantastic content-driven films and is a wonderful filmmaker.”

Her wish did not go unanswered as Shoaib flew to India soon after and offered Bebo a role in his next film, reported Mumbai Mirror. It was also stated that Kareena, who typically stays away from social networks, will join Twitter for a day to announce the collaboration by the end of this month.
According to the source, “She also plans to connect with her fans online. But she will be off social networking after that.” Kareena is currently shooting for her upcoming film Ki and Ka with Arjun Kapoor, but has taken a break and will be staying in Dubai for two days to finalise the deal.
