Veere Di Wedding (*ing Kareena, Sonam, Swara & Shikha)

Just the idea of this movie makes me so happy! I know there are movies that focus on female friendships/relationships out there (Dor, Fire, etc), but most Bollywood films don't pass the Bechdel test. When I was watching Dil Dhadakne Do it was really jarring (but refreshing) to see Anushka and Priyanka in the same screen space (and there is one very short and barely in earshot scene at the safari lunch where they have a conversation about something other than a man (Farrah's show)). I'm dying for a female version of Dil Chahta Hai or Kai Po Che or Zindagi Na Milenge Dobara or, hell even, Grand Masti (wouldn't a Bollywood version of Bridesmaids be amazing?). And any combination of 3 or 4 high profile actresses would suit me just fine...well maybe not including Katrina or Kareena. My dream cast of four would be Sonam, Deepika, Anushka, and Kangana.

I'm really looking forward to Angry Indian Goddesses (the indie version of this concept, perhaps).

How about a remake of The Devil Wears Prada with Madhuri or Sridevi playing the arrogant fashion tycoon and Shraddha or Alia plaing the young, innocent, rookie?

Reportedly Sonam Kapoor who is currently riding high on the success of her last film 'Neerja' will be next seen in a chick flick.

As per a Spotboye report the film will see Sonam and Swara Bhaskar teaming up once again after Salman Khan starrer 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo'. We hear that the movie will be helmed by 'Khoobsurat' director Shashank Ghosh.

The report further quoted a source saying, "Shashank and Rhea (Kapoor) have been regularly brainstorming and have finalised on a script. It's about four girls going on a trip, a whacky coming-of-age drama."

Further the source added that 'Battle For Bittora' has thus been currently put on the back-burner.

Producer Rhea Kapoor has been waiting to kickstart her maiden directorial venture — a chick flick, tentatively titled Veeray Di Shaadi, starring four girls. With Kareena Kapoor Khan confirming to us that she is in talks for playing one of the girls, Rhea, who turns director with the film, gets ready to start shooting by July.

In the beginning, there was only talk of Katrina Kaif and Sonam Kapoor being confirmed as the leads. However, says a source, “Katrina was never formally offered the film. There were only initial talks but it never materialised.” Huma, too, was approached, but she decided to opt out of the film.

Reveals our source, “Rhea wants a powerful team of actresses and she feels Kareena will suit the bill perfectly. Kareena has not signed anything post Udta Punjab and this will possibly be her next film. Talks are on and an announcement will be made formally very soon. In all probability, it will indeed be Bebo and Sonam saath-saath.”

When contacted, Bebo texted back, confirming that she’s approached for the role. “I am thinking about it,” she messaged.

Adds our source, “Swara Bhaskar plays the third friend. For the character of the fourth girl in the all-girl group, the makers have finalised Tiku Talsania’s daughter Shikha Talsania (best known for her role in Wake Up Sid). While Sonam and Bebo play the leads, Swara and Shikha will be the supporting leads.”

In Veere Di Wedding, which celebrates the spirit of the modern day woman, Sonam will sport many fashion forward Indian outfits and the actress is in talks with many designers for the same.

Kareena who is also a part of the film would be going ahead with the shooting and will be filming her part in August.In a joint statement sent out by producers Ekta Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor, they have clarified that Kareena would go ahead with her plans as scheduled.

“Ekta Kapoor and I ,with our families and companies,are delighted and excited for Kareena and Saif! As producers of Veere Di Wedding we are thrilled to be part of their special journey! Bebo is a thorough professional and will start the shoot of the film in August.Much like the spirit of our film, which celebrates the modern girl,Kareena is going on with her work and life as usual and we couldn’t be prouder to have her!” Rhea Kapoor reported.

“My looks in the film are a mix of high-end fashion and traditional Indian wear with a contemporary twist. Rhea (producer) and I are working on them closely,” Sonam said in a statement here.

“We wanted to push the envelope with Veere Di Wedding since it’s a complete feel good film. We are meeting lot of designers on collaborations,” she added.
