After having been ousted from Tarun Mansukhani's untitled film (starring Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai and Saif Ali Khan), Kareena Kapoor's prayers might just be answered as she might be seen in Karan Johar's next production, which is definitely not Karan's much-talked-about next, which is set in New York and stars Shah Rukh Khan.

The film is an 'unusual' love story and will be directed by Siddharth Malhotra who's presently writing the screenplay of the film. Siddharth has previously assisted Karan in Kal Ho Naa Ho. Karan has approved the script and Siddharth is writing it out now. The cast would be finalised in a month's time.

Everyone knows that Kareena has been very keen on working with her favourite director (read Karan Johar) for a long time, after a period of fallout.

Be it interviews or brief appearances on telly, she has been vocal about her aspirations. Her last appearance in a Dharma Production film was for Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Kareena has been in talks with Karan for sometime for various projects. But nothing has really materialised.

Hopefully, this one should work out. Karan, however, refuses to spell the name of her leading lady. When quizzed about Kareena, he saysshe hasn't been confirmed yet. the film though is a one-guy-one-gal romantic film."

Nevertheless reportedly Kareena stands a good chance of grabbing the film. Kareena is yet to sign on the dotted line as she is filming for Imtiaz Ali's next film. But she has been more or less finalised for the role says another source!
