Who would you be if you had umpteen number of flops in your career but still command the same price as the Big B. Yes, you guessed it right, Kareena Kapoor is the girl we are talking about.

The noted producer Harry Baweja has just signed the Kapoor junior for Rs 2.50 crore, almost double for what she was charging.

The film happens to be launching pad for his son Harman and Baweja doesn't want to settle for anything less than the best in the industry. While many in the industry are raising fingers at the Baweja's selection, the producer is completely unfazed.

"I know what the talk is, but all I can say is that Kareena is not as pricey as she is made out to be. She was our first and final choice for this mind-blowing science-fiction love-story subject, which hijacks the audience from 2005 to 2050. Technically the film would be of global standards because we are hiring top technicians from Los Angeles and Australia," says Harry.

Kareena's take: "Harman and I are both 23 years old, and I love working with people of my age, too. It will bring more energy and youthfulness to the film."

"I am honoured and obliged if they feel I deserve such a price. I don't want to disclose the exact amount but the fact that I am doing the film should speak for itself. But yes, it's definitely a big amount."
