"The leading lady of the film is not yet finalised. So far it is only Hrithik Roshan who has been finalised. I can't talk much about whether Kareena is in the film as long as Karan (Johar) doesn't make an official announcement," said Karan Malhotra.
Nevertheless, the director of the 2012 film "Agneepath", the remake of the 1990 film of the same name, says he has his "wish list ready".
"My fingers are crossed and I hope the best actress, who fits the bill, becomes a part of the film," he added.
Karan Malhotra said the film will be shot in Mumbai and Uttarakhand.
"The film will go on floors in November by the end of this year. The film will be widely shot in Mumbai and Uttarakhand. It is slated for release in 2014," he said.
