When
actor
-turned-producer
Saif
Ali
Khan
announced
the
name
of
the
JAb
We
Met
director,
Imtiaz
Ali,
as
the
captain
of
one
of
his
two
home
banner
projects,
it
was
assumed
that
Kareena
Kapoor
would
be
a
part
of
it.
The
reason
being
obvious,
the
super
success
of
Jab
We
Met
and
more
importantly
the
huge
contribution
of
Saif's
girlfriend
Kareena
Kapoor
to
the
movie.
However,
despite
the
fact
that
Saif
wanted
Kareena
to
play
the
female
lead
opposite
him,
he
respected
the
opinion
of
Imtiaz,
who
thought
otherwise.
One
must
commend
Saif
for
accepting
in
print
that
casting
is
the
director's
prerogative.
To
cut
a
long
story
short,
the
cast
of
the
Imtiaz
Ali
directed
Illuminati
Films
project
is
quite
interesting.
As
per
the
lead
actor
and
producer
Saif
Ali
Khan,
it
will
star
Rishi
Kapoor,
obviously
Saif
himself,
Deepika
Padukone,
a
new
face
(with
an
important
role!)
and
most
interestingly,
a
foreign
/Hollywood
actress!
Well,
what
about
Rozza
as
the
foreign
face
dear
Saif,
if
we
are
allowed
the
temerity
of
suggesting
so?
