Kareena Kapoor & Shahid Together Again ....

It would be a casting coup of the most unexpected type. Remember how Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor avoided shooting together for the patch work of their much delayed and now flopped film Milenge Milenge?

It's clear that the two ex lovers have been avoiding each other like swine flu. But now, if things go as planned director

Buoyed by the appreciation he has been receiving from friends and film folks, WE ARE FAMILY director Siddharth Malhotra has said that his next would be a father-daughter family comedy and would feature Rishi Kapoor as the father.

Though the daughter's role is up for grabs, the director wants to create cinematic history by casting Kareena Kapoor as the daughter.

Confirming the developments, Malhotra said, 'Though I wanted to make my next with Kajol, but she won't be doing any film for a year and a half. Hence, I'm making a family comedy for which my script is ready. I'll make this family comedy before my film with Kadz.'

Siddharth hopes to rope in Rishi Kapoor and his niece Kareena as father and daughter in the film. For the romantic angle with Kareena Kapoor obviously the director might rope in Shahid who is his very good friend.

"I was the Associate Director of 'Vivah'. Shahid and I have been close since then. Now we're even closer. I really value his judgement," Malhotra is quoted as saying by a news agency.

About casting Shahid Kapur in the Rishi Kapoor film, Malhotra averred, 'I don't want to commit myself to casting Shahid until Karan Johar reads my script. But I know one thing; I'll present the actor like no one else has done.'
