/> Kareena Kapoor will break the jinx on leading ladies being a part of Bollywood sequels. In fact Bipasha Basu had recently commented on this regressive trend of getting fresh female faces for every sequel after she was declared out of Race. She had even threatened to ‘kill' Rohit Shetty if he didn't sign her for All The Best 2.

Rohit Shetty isn't sure if he's been scared by the mock-threat into signing Bipasha for the All The Best 2 in 2011.

But Kareena Kapoor is back in Gol Maal 3 which starts shooting in April 2010 and will be release next year Diwali.

Kareena who had earlier expressed reluctance to be part of the next instalment Gol Maal franchise, has apparently relented on hearing what Shetty had written for her.

Says the shy young director, "Kareena will be the only female lead along with the five boys Ajay Devgn, Tusshar Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Sharman Joshi and Shreyas Talpade. And she won't be the romantic interest of any of the heroes. In fact Kareena will be one of the heroes!"

Apparently the Gol Maal producers Astvinayak were eager not to break the Gol Maal 2 team. And since Kareena is not keen on doing multiple-heroine director Rohit Shetty was asked to make sure Kareena was the solo heroine in the third Gol Maal film.

Says Rohit, "I've been working on innumerable drafts for Gol Maal 3. I've finally come up with the right spirit for the next instalment of Gol Maal.

Besides the fact that Kareena will not be the romantic interest but one of the heroes I've also made sure Gol Maal Part 3 is far more family-oriented than the other two films. The boys' jokes in Gol Maal Returns won't return."

Rohit says he's aware that Gol Maal is seen as a boys' franchise. With Gol Maal 3 he wants to change that perception. "Through Kareena's character I want to get the women audiences into the main action of the comedy.

She will be one of driving forces in the plot and not just there to sing and dance and add glamour. Like I said Kareena is the sixth hero of Gol Maal 3. There's no point in doing sequels unless you build on and enhance the original audience-profile."
