Mumbai: Kareena Kapoor Khan is now a veteran in the Hindi film industry and the actor has said that she is game for playing layered, grey characters.
Kareena Kapoor Khan’s first negative role came with ‘Fida’ in 2004 in which she portrayed a scheming woman who sets up a man to take the fall for her lover. The movie also starred Shahid Kapoor and Fardeen Khan. Her turn of a once successful actor whose career is spiraling down in ‘Heroine’ (2012) is another example of a grey role.
But Kareena Kapoor Khan is the first to admit that such parts are far few in between. “I would love to play a grey character, if it’s a great role. I would definitely want to go for it,” Kareena told this agency on the sidelines of Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2019, which concluded Sunday.
Talking about her upcoming film, ‘Good News’, with Akshay Kumar, the actor said the movie is an entertaining watch. “I think it’s going to be a fun and exciting film, because it has a Christmas release,” Kareena said.
“I’m sure people are going to love it. It’s got a different concept and it’s releasing during the holiday period. It will be a laugh riot,” added Kareena Kapoor Khan.
‘Good News’, which is slated to be released December 27, is a dramedy which follows a couple who are trying to conceive.
Kareena walked the ramp as the Grand Finale showstopper for designer duo Gauri and Nainika, whose latest collection was based on Lakme’s theme for this edition, ‘#FreeYourLips’ which is all about freedom of expression.
Kareena believes freedom should be a necessity, not luxury. “The theme, for me, is about freedom for women to make the choice of what they want to do, what they want to wear or how they want to live their life. I think first thing that comes to my mind is freedom,” asserted Kareena.
