Kareena Kapoor to romance actor in his early 20s in her next? Here's what we know

Kareena Kapoor’s next may just flip a familiar Bollywood trope on its head. The actress, who continues to take on bold and unconventional roles, is reportedly set to star as a ghost in an upcoming quirky supernatural film. What’s grabbing even more attention, however, is the buzz that Kareena, 44, will be paired opposite a male actor in his early 20s—sparking curiosity, debate, and plenty of headlines. With the film said to be a genre-bending script written by Brahmastra co-writer Hussain Dalal, fans are eagerly waiting for official confirmation.

A Ghost Story with a Twist

According to a report by Deccan Chronicle, Kareena Kapoor’s upcoming film will offer a quirky, genre-bending twist on ghost stories, with the actress playing a central spirit role. The script is said to be refreshingly unique and aims to redefine the conventional ghost genre, making Kareena an ideal fit for the part.

The report further adds that the film is penned by Hussain Dalal, known for his collaborations with Ayan Mukerji on projects like Brahmastra Part 1. It also claims that Kareena Kapoor will be paired opposite a male lead in his early 20s. However, there has been no official confirmation regarding the casting or storyline yet.

Reversing the Bollywood Age Dynamic?

In Bollywood, it's long been common for older male actors to be paired opposite much younger female co-stars. Recently, Ranveer Singh faced backlash online for romancing 18-year-old Sara Arjun in Dhurandhar, while he was 38 during the shoot. In that context, reports of Kareena Kapoor being cast opposite a significantly younger male actor—nearly two decades her junior—have sparked fresh conversation.



While the project has certainly caught attention, it’s important to note that these are still unconfirmed reports. Neither Kareena Kapoor nor the filmmakers have issued any official statement yet. Until then, speculation continues to swirl about this unconventional film and its intriguing casting choices.
