Kareena is currently gearing up for The Crew featuring alongside Kriti Sanon and Tabu. The actress shared her views on working with female co-stars. She told Hindustan Times, “I am super excited because of course I have never worked with Tabu. Lolo (sister Karisma Kapoor) and her have done some stellar films together. All of us are females working on the film, including our producers (Rhea Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor). That’s the cool thing about these two, they have always been cool enough to break the mould and just do something different. I am really looking forward to it. It’s a big screen film, and I am pretty sure the audience will love it.”

She further added, “I have worked in many female centric films, and worked with most of the female actors. So, I think today it’s about doing a good film, it’s not about who is in it, what’s in it. Everybody just wants to do a good film.”

Kareena also spoke about her new performances getting compared to old ones. She said, “Of course it will always be compared to Poo and Geet, they are iconic I understand. Everybody is going to compare. But I feel like people should talk about Chameli, Omkara, Heroine, they are pretty underrated in terms of my performance, Yuva too. Why don’t people talk about that? I understand in an actor’s life people kind of pick the parts. I am also doing The Devotion of Suspect X, that’s a very different kind of spectrum for me.”

Talking about her 2007 film Jab We Met featuring her and Shahid Kapoor, Kareena said, “Of course, Jab We Met is ghar ki khichdi, you see it again and again, there’s always something new. It doesn’t seem like an old film. That’s a rarity. Every time you watch it’s like you are watching it for the first time. It’s just the character.”

Following her appearance in Laal Singh Chaddha alongside Aamir Khan, which released on August 11, 2022, and subsequently arrived on Netflix on October 6, 2022, Kareena Kapoor Khan has been busy with multiple projects. One of her upcoming ventures is the adaptation of ‘The Devotion of Suspect X,’ where she shares the screen with talented actors Vijay Varma and Jaideep Ahlawat. Furthermore, she has recently completed filming for an untitled project helmed by acclaimed director Hansal Mehta. Currently, Kareena is engrossed in shooting for The Crew alongside renowned actresses Tabu and Kriti Sanon.
