Aamir
Khan
and
Akshay
Kumar
may
have
set
their
eyes
on
Christmas
with
Taare
Zameen
Par/Welcome
[2007],
Ghajini/Jumbo
[2008],
3
Idiots
[2009]
and
Tees
Maar
Khan
[2010].
Salman
Khan
may
have
captured
his
Eid
slot
with
Wanted
[2009],
Dabangg
[2010]
and
Bodyguard
[2011].
But
Kareena
isn't
content
with
just
one
festival.
She
wants
them
all
and
is
pretty
much
having
her
way
as
well.
Says
a
veteran
trade
observer,
"After
all,
Diwali
and
Christmas
have
turned
out
to
be
most
beneficial
for
filmmakers
due
to
long
holiday
period
as
well
as
general
mood
of
celebrations
and
festivities.
People
don't
mind
spending
money
and
if
a
film
is
indeed
made
well,
the
makers
and
the
actors
benefit
the
most.
It
is
crystal
clear
that
while
all
the
men
are
fighting
it
out
amongst
themselves
when
it
comes
to
festive
releases,
Kareena
is
enjoying
the
best
of
all
seasons.
Well,
literally."
There
are
facts
to
substantiate
this
claim.
This
year
her
Golmaal
3
released
on
Diwali.
Last
year
her
3
Idiots
had
arrived
on
Christmas
while
Main
Aurr
Mrs
Khanna
had
released
on
Diwali.
In
2008,
her
Golmaal
Returns
had
made
a
splash
on
Diwali
while
Jab
We
Met
in
2007
too
had
released
just
a
few
days
before
Diwali.
Even
earlier,
her
films
like
Don
-
The
Chase
Begins
Again
[Diwali
2006],
Dosti
-
Friends
Forever
[Christmas
2005]
and
Aitraaz
[Diwali
2004]
had
benefited
by
arriving
in
the
festive
season.
"Somehow
this
fact
never
got
highlighted
as
all
the
rivalry
seemed
to
be
hero-centric.
However,
Kareena
has
been
quietly
enjoying
her
stint
when
it
comes
to
the
release
of
her
biggies.
Now
the
going
only
seems
to
be
perfect
for
her
in
near
future
as
well
with
her
newer
films
eyeing
the
best
available
slots",
continues
the
observer.
As
things
stand
today,
Kareena
can
well
enjoy
quite
a
few
celebrations
coming
her
way
in
the
festival
season
ahead.
Come
2011
and
she
would
be
occupying
both
Eid
[Bodyguard]
as
well
as
the
Diwali
[Ra.One]
slots.
Though
Christmas
season
currently
has
only
one
confirmed
release
-
the
sequel
to
Shahrukh
Khan's
Don,
it
would
be
interesting
to
see
if
Kareena
brings
one
of
her
movies
along
then.
"Well,
one
can
never
be
too
sure
about
such
things",
smiles
Kareena
who
is
obviously
elated
with
this
'feat',
"Yes,
Golmaal
3
was
always
planned
for
a
Diwali
release
and
it's
blockbuster
success
has
made
us
all
feel
good
about
the
effort
that
we
all
had
to
put
to
ensure
that
the
deadline
was
met."
Now
with
declaration
coming
in
that
Salman
Khan
would
most
definitely
bring
in
Bodyguard
on
Eid
2011,
Kareena
knows
that
it
is
going
to
be
quite
some
hard
work
ahead.
"I
would
soon
be
beginning
shoot
for
the
Karan
Johar
film
with
Imran
(Khan)",
she
talks
about
(tentatively
titled)
Short
Term
Shaadi
here,
"Meanwhile,
Ra.One
and
Agent
Vinod
too
have
to
be
wrapped
up.
With
Bodyguard
coming
in
as
well,
it
is
going
to
be
some
really
busy
months
ahead.
But
yes,
it
does
feel
great
to
be
arriving
on
festive
dates
year
after
year."
Since
Ra.One
has
already
been
confirmed
for
Diwali
2011,
one
wonders
when
would
her
film
with
Saif
Ali
Khan,
Agent
Vinod,
eventually
release.
The
tentative
plans
as
of
now
are
for
May
2011
but
it
won't
be
surprising
if
the
makers
pick
the
long
Independence
Day
weekend
for
the
release.
15th
August
falls
on
a
Monday
and
a
12th
August
release
would
give
them
a
4
day
long
weekend
here,
hence
adding
on
to
continued
celebrations
for
Kareena.
In
between
all
of
this,
she
would
also
be
kick
starting
her
new
film
with
Aamir
Khan.
As
for
Short
Term
Shaadi,
how
about
Christmas
2011?
Some
food
for
thought
Kareena?
After
all
it
could
well
be
a
record
waiting
to
make
an
entry
into
the
Guinness!
