Today
(January
21,
2019),
we
all
woke
up
to
news
that
local
Congress
leaders
from
Bhopal,
Madhya
Pradesh
want
Bollywood's
leading
lady
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan
to
contest
the
upcoming
Lok
Sabha
elections
for
their
party.
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan
has
now
quashed
the
reports
claiming
that
she
will
be
contesting
for
Lok
Sabha
elections
for
Congress
from
Bhopal.
The
38-year-old
actor
said
making
movies
are
and
will
always
be
her
priority
and
she
has
no
plans
to
join
politics.
"There
is
no
truth
to
these
reports.
I
have
not
been
approached
for
this
whatsoever.
My
focus
is
and
only
will
be
movies," Kareena
said
in
a
statement.
According
to
the
reports,
in
a
letter
written
to
Congress
president
Rahul
Gandhi,
corporate
Yogendra
Singh
Chauhan
claimed
the
actor
would
be
the
most
suitable
candidate
to
defeat
the
BJP
from
the
Bhopal
seat.
The
reports
also
claimed
that
Chauhan
was
seeking
an
appointment
with
Chief
Minister
Kamal
Nath
to
convince
him
to
give
Kareena
a
party
ticket.
Kareena
is
the
wife
of
actor
Saif
Ali
Khan,
who
is
the
son
of
former
Indian
cricketer
Mansoor
Ali
Khan
Pataudi,
scion
of
the
erstwhile
Bhopal
state.
Pataudi
had
also
contested
elections
from
Bhopal
in
1991
but
had
lost.
On
the
work
front,
Kareena
has
two
films
in
her
kitty
i.e.,
Takht
and
Good
News.
While
in
Takht,
she
will
be
seen
sharing
screen
space
with
Ranveer
Singh,
Alia
Bhatt,
Anil
Kapoor,
Janhvi
Kapoor,
Vicky
Kaushal
and
Bhumi
Pednekar,
in
Good
News,
she
is
paired
opposite
Akshay
Kumar.
The
film
also
casts
Diljit
Dosanjh
and
Kiara
Advani
in
the
lead
roles.
Good
News,
produced
by
Dharma
Productions
and
Cape
Of
Good
Films,
was
earlier
scheduled
to
release
on
July
19.
However,
today,
Akshay
tweeted
the
new
release
date
and
wrote,
"Good
News
due
on
6th
September,
2019."
The
film
will
be
directed
by
Raj
Mehta.
