Kareena loves it more than Shahid!

Kareena Kapoor, who has bagged the role of Desdemona in the Bollywood version of “Othello”, is excited about her latest movie “Dosti – Friends Forever” releasing this Christmas season.

Director Suneel Darshan’s film is about the eternal friendship between Bobby Deol’s and Akshay Kumar’s characters and she plays Akshay’s love interest.

“‘Dosti’ is all about the genuine friendship of Akshay and Bobby. It has all the ingredients of Bollywood entertainment.

“‘Dosti’ is the story of the strong bond of friendship, where circumstantial consequences are such that Akshay separates from me and Bobby tries to reunite us. And there are many factors, which put their eternal friendship to test. How their friendship survives in this cruel world is the crux of this movie,” says Kareena.

She worked in the film for the sake of her friend Darshan.

“It’s all about everlasting friendship. And this movie I’ve done for my friend Suneel. I know him since Karisma used to work with him. Suneel is a very good friend of mine. My work in this film is entirely for Suneel, I made it a point to finish shooting for his film within 20 days.”

This is her fourth film with Akshay after “Talaash”, “Aitraaz” and “Bewafaa”.

“It was fun working with Akki as we share a very good rapport. I know him since I was nine. In fact, I was behind the camera when he was giving his first shot. It’s really great working with such a stunning personality; I simply enjoy working with him.”

Talking about Nadeem-Shravan’s musical notes, she said, “Similar to Suneel’s earlier hits, this movie too has melodious tracks composed by the Nadeem-Shravan duo.

When quizzed about her best friend off screen, she didn’t reveal much.

“Well, presently I’m absolutely engaged with my professional life, so my acting is my best friend.”

She doesn’t have many films in her kitty right now.

“Nothing much on cards as such. I am doing ’36 China Town’ with Shahid (Kapoor) under the banner of Mukta Arts and ‘Love Story 2050’ with Harman Baweja. You can say that I’m not doing many films in the coming year.”

She is thrilled about her role in Vishal Bhardwaj’s film “Othello”.

“I am very lucky that Vishal thought of casting me for the role of Desdemona. It’s a dream role for any actress, as it features a powerful female character. The moment I read the script, I was thrilled and without a second thought I agreed for the film.”
