Kareena Kapoor Khan to play Akshay Kumar’s wife in ‘Gabbar’

After earlier speculation that Kareena Kapoor Khan will be doing just an item number in Akshay Kumar’s ‘Gabbar’, it has now emerged she actually has an extended role in the film.

Rumours are rife today that Khan will be playing the role of Kumar’s wife in the film. It is said that the role is similar to that of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Aditya Chopra’s ‘Mohabbatein’. Kumar will remember his wife through flashbacks. The film�۪s leading lady played a kind of spirit that ran across the film.

Kareena�۪s friend told India Express, ���Bebo and Akshay share a fabulous rapport. They�۪ve played husband and wife in Aitraaz. She agreed to do so again because her character propels the story forward.�۝

It was only last week, pictures showed the actress shooting for a song in the film.

‘Gabbar’ releases in January 2015.
