Rohit Shetty: ‘Kareena Kapoor isn’t in Chennai Express’

Rohit Shetty has rejected rumours that Kareena Kapoor will be starring opposite Shah Rukh Khan in the much talked about film ‘Chennai Express’.

“I have not really (approached Kareena Kapoor), she knows what I am making. I might do something else with Kareena. Just wait for ten days and then everyone will come to know who it is. In ten days time, we will announce our heroine,” Shetty told PTI in an interview.

Whilst a leading lady for the film will be confirmed soon, Deepika Padukone’s name has been floating around for the past few weeks.

This is the first time Shetty is not working with Ajay Devgn after churning out hit films like the ‘Golmaal’ franchise, ‘Singham’ (2011) and ‘Bol Bachchan’ (2012).

`Chennai Express` will be going on the floors in September and likely to release mid-2013.
