Imtiaz
Ali
is
in
the
club
of
top
directors
after
the
success
of
Jab
We
Met.
Both
the
stars
of
the
film
Shahid
Kapoor
and
Kareena
Kapoor
were
so
impressed
with
him
that
they
began
recommending
his
name
to
the
producers.
Kareena
went
a
step
forward
and
recommended
his
name
to
her
new
beau
Saif
Ali
Khan
who
will
soon
be
producing
a
movie.
However
Kareena
seems
to
be
unhappy
with
his
casting.
Trouble
started
when
instead
of
casting
Kareena
Kapoor
opposite
Saif,
Imtiaz
cast
Om
Shanti
Om
actress
Deepika
Padukone.
Saif
is
said
to
have
a
had
a
heated
argument
with
the
director
but
finally
gave
in
to
his
demands.
Kareena
seems
to
be
very
upset
with
all
this
as
she
thought
Imtiaz
should
have
been
more
grateful
towards
her
on
this.
Imtiaz
however
feels
different
on
the
issue
and
said
that
his
favourite
actress
did
not
fit
the
role
and
thus
has
gone
to
Deepika.
The
director
said
that
favoritism
is
not
his
tool
while
casting
for
a
movie
and
he
is
looking
forward
to
working
with
Kareena
Kapoor
in
the
future.
