Rakesh
Roshan
Was
Very
Happy
With
The
Casting
Initially
As
per
Masala.com,
''Initially
Rakesh
thought
he
had
managed
a
casting
coup
when
he
signed
Randhir
Kapoor
and
Babita's
daughter
to
star
with
his
son
in
his
debut
film.
As
the
gen
next
of
two
prominent
Bollywood
families,
the
casting
created
a
huge
buzz.
But
then
trouble
started
early
on
during
the
filming.''
Kareena
Refused
To
Shoot
A
Song
''After
having
shot
for
a
day
with
Kareena,
Rakesh
had
a
discussion
on
the
future
plan
-
a
dance
sequence
aboard
a
ship.
To
his
surprise,
Kareena
flatly
refused
to
shoot
for
the
song.
Bebo
reportedly
said,
"But
we
(Babita
and
her)
told
you
we
don't
want
to
shoot
a
song."
Not
Just
Bebo,
Even
Her
Mother
Refused
To
Listen
''Rakesh
then
decided
to
talk
to
her
mother,
Babita
who,
he
felt
would
convince
her
daughter
to
follow
his
directions.
But
Rakesh
could
not
believe
what
happened
next.
Babita
was
even
more
reluctant
and
reportedly
said,
"No
way!
She
will
not
do
a
song."
The
Unreasonable
Demands
''The
main
problem
between
the
Roshans
and
the
Kapoors
were
the
seemingly
unreasonable
demands
that
Babita
placed.
Considering
that
Bebo
was
just
a
newcomer,
Rakesh
was
all
the
more
incensed
by
their
behaviour.
Babita
demanded
that
Kareena
should
get
top
billing
over
Hrithik
in
the
credits
of
the
film.''
Kareena
Wanted
Her
Spot
Boy
Everywhere
To
Carry
An
Umbrella
''Bebo
allegedly
wanted
her
spot
boy
to
tag
along
wherever
she
went...even
on
shoots
abroad!
When
Rakesh
denied
that
facility
Kareena
reportedly
asked,
"But
who
will
hold
the
umbrella
for
mummy
and
me?"
She
Refused
To
Shoot
Without
Her
Hairdresser
''Later,
as
a
consolation,
Rakesh
agreed
to
have
Kareena's
chosen
dress
designer,
Manish
Malhotra
fly
with
them.
The
young
actress
also
asked
Roshan
senior
to
reportedly
cough
up
a
huge
sum
to
pay
her
hairdresser
and
said
that
unless
the
payment
was
made,
she
would
not
shoot.''
Kareena
Is
Nothing
But
An
Employee
''An
angry
friend
of
the
director
said
in
an
interview,
"She
is
nothing
but
an
employee.
He
does
not
even
pay
Madhuri
Dixit's
hairdresser."
Babita
apparently
asked
Rakesh
to
show
her
the
rushes
after
every
shot
and
urged
him
to
reshoot
if
she
felt
they
were
not
good.
Finally,
an
exasperated
Rakesh
took
a
call
-
he
decided
to
fire
Kareena
from
the
film.''
Kareena's
Shocking
Interview
After
Rejection
After
her
ouster,
Kareena
Kapoor
gave
an
interview
to
a
leading
film
magazine,
"The
film
(Kaho
Naa...)
is
a
huge
success
so
I
would
have
definitely
become
a
star
had
I
acted
in
it.
But
I
don't
know
if
I
want
to
be
labeled
as
just
a
star.
There
is
a
new
star
every
Friday.''
Not
Even
Five
Seconds
Were
Spent
On
Ameesha
''I'd
rather
be
known
as
an
actress
and
that
would
have
not
been
possible
if
I
had
done
Kaho
Naa...
The
film
was
made
for
Hrithik.
His
dad
spent
five
hours
on
every
frame
and
close-up
of
his
whereas
not
even
five
seconds
were
spent
on
Ameesha.''
She
Just
Does
Not
Look
Beautiful
''There
are
portions
in
the
film
where
she
has
pimples
and
under-eye
bags
on
her
face.
She
just
doesn't
look
beautiful
but
every
shot
of
his
was
a
dream.
If
I
were
in
the
film,
I
would
have
definitely
got
a
better
deal
but
I
still
feel
that
the
attention
would
have
been
divided
between
us.
So,
I'm
glad
I
didn't
do
the
film."
