Kareena wanted to work with Irrfan

For anyone who has fiercely taken care of a work-life harmony, it is astonishing when Kareena Kapoor Khan agrees to devote her weekend to 'Angrezi Medium' promotions. But, her stint in the humor is equally surprising - she takes on a cameo in the Irrfan starrer.

In a day and time when leading females are conscious of their screen time, what built her declare yes to a special appearance? "Picking this film was a simple decision. 

The greed of attempting to work with Irrfan made me go for it. I've wanted that container ticked for a long period. When Homi [Adajania, director] read the part if you ask me, I was game," enthuses Kapoor. Call it a quirk of fate or the universe conspiring to grant her hope, however the actor was in London when the 'Angrezi Moderate' crew was shooting there.

"I was accompanying Saif [Ali Khan, husband]; he was shooting for 'Jawaani Jaaneman' in those days. So, I was in London for just two months in any case. I possessed to devote 12 to 15 days to the shoot. That was my probability to work with Irrfan. Thank God it worked out!"

A few years ago, trade rumors had suggested that Irrfan and Kapoor would romance the other person in the Sahir Ludhianvi biopic. However, the job didn't materialize despite multiple casting alterations. "I would like the Sahir film possessed happened.

But then again, I really believe when such great videos don't work out, it's for a reason. Every movie has its destiny, and that one will take its own course. Beneath the instances that Irrfan and I achieved, it was surreal. He's so respectful and charming, and I was in awe of him."
