Actress Kareena Kapoor is in news lately for walking out of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Ram Leela’. But the other news doing rounds is that the actress has been signed to do Prakash Jha’s next political movie, in which she will play the role of a politician.

“Kareena Kapoor will be seen playing a female Prime Minister of India in Prakash Jha's political sequel. The film is expected to go on the floors by the end of the year and apparently it was Ajay who suggested that Kareena should play the role. Jha immediately agreed and after ‘Omkara’ it will be her first major performance-oriented role where she would also be de-glamorized,” said a source to Midday.

Apparently the actress is all set to do intensive research for her role as she doesn’t want her glamorous persona to overshadow her performance.

“Jha and Kareena have spoken. The necessary formalities need to be worked out. For this role, she is all set to do some major research and has already asked her team to shortlist the names of all major female prime ministers all across the world. She will then do research about their lives and their mannerisms. She does not want her glamorous image to overshadow her performance in the film,” the source added.

Kareena Kapoor will be paired opposite Ajay Devgn in the movie.
