Kareena Kapoor on the cover of Asian Woman

Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor who were earlier seen in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, Yaadein, Mujhse Dosti Karoge, Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon would be seen together after many years in Jab We Met director Imtiaz Ali's next, reports Mid Day.

A source however says the casting might not happen at all. "But that's far from true. Don't they know history? Bebo was supposed to be part of Kaho Naa Pyar Hai, remember? Though she's done films with her once special friend in a lot of movies and has maintained cordial relations, the past does haunt, no?"

But Kareena Kapoor who must be keen on repeating her Jab We Met success might take up the offer with or without Hrithik.

Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor has agreed to support NDTV's campaign Shakti, aimed at fighting violence against women.

Kareena feels very strongly for the cause of women's emancipation, and hopes for their betterment in India, according to a source close to the actress.

The 30-year-old is especially appalled with the way women, irrespective of their socio-economic status, have become so vulnerable. She is trying to persuade citizens to sign a special petition to be presented to President Pratibha Patil as part of the campaign.

"Kareena feels that this will help spread widespread awareness amongst the common man," said a source.

A spokesperson on behalf of NDTV said the channel is glad with Kareena's support.

"Kareena Kapoor joining NDTV for the Shakti campaign is a major boost for us, because she represents the modern, fearless woman of today and her endorsement will enable others who look up to her as a role model to speak out as well."

The campaign was launched as part of the 100th International Women's Day Tuesday.

Kareena Kapoor has reiterated that she will never wear a bikini on screen again.

The 3 Idiots actress will next be seen in the upcoming Bodyguard opposite Salman Khan.

Speaking to the Times of India, she said: "I don't have the patience to go through the whole regimen that needs to be in place for your body to look bikini-perfect.

"So I've decided that I will not wear a bikini on screen again."

However, she added her boyfriend Saif Ali Khan found her "very hot" in a two-piece.

Kapoor last wore a two-piece in Tashan and Kambakkht Ishq.

The shooting of Bollywood film Bodyguard starring Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor in the Pune Okayama Friendship Garden (POFG) has kicked up a storm of protest. Members of the Association of Friends of Japan (AFJ) and other regulars are miffed that people were denied use of the unique garden for the duration of the shoot and add that the facility was damaged by the film crew.

Angry with the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) for allowing the shoot, members of AFJ now plan to take up the matter with civic body, the state government and even the Okayama state government.

"We are very upset over the PMC's granting of permission for shooting at the garden.

It is shocking that we were not even informed about it, " said Sameer Khale, president, AFJ.

The PMC laid the garden with Japanese Government funds and technical support on the premises of the Pu La Deshpande Udyan on Sinhagad Road in 2003. This is the first time a Bollywood film is being shot there.

The shooting took place over the past three days. Over 2, 000 people who visit the POFG regularly were stopped from entering the premises. The PMC was paid Rs 50, 000 rent by the producer for the three days of shooting.

"I got to know about the shooting when I saw a crowd. We are taking up this issue with the PMC and the state government, with whom the agreement was made by the Okayama state to create a Japanese garden, " Khale said.

Anant Kulkarni, a senior citizen residing in the area, said that the PMC does not allow even visitors who are charged an entry fee of Rs 5 to step on the beautiful lawns, but it allowed the shooting in which the lawn was used in a big way. Kulkarni said the shooting also resulted in some damage to the lawns.

Mandira Chachar, POFG ticket window clerk, said, "We faced a lot of inconvenience as the garbage created by the crew of the film was a lot and out staff members had to do all the cleaning. On Sunday many senior citizens went back disappointed as the garden was closed the entire day. There is a total loss of Rs 10, 000 in revenue over these three days of shooting."

Gardener Viththal Chandare said that food for the crew was prepared on the premises of Pu La Deshpande Udyan and plastic plates and bottles were strewn around.

"We all heaved a sigh of relief after the crew left late in the evening on Monday, " he said.
