Mumbai, May 8 -- Life is hectic for Kareena Kapoor. She doesn't even have time to meet her family and friends. "I catch up with them on the phone when commuting. It would've been nice to spend time with Saif (boyfriend Saif Ali Khan) at Cannes, but I have to shoot for Bodyguard.
This year people are fighting for an hour of my time," admits Kareena, who has three big releases to look forward to this year, starting with Bodyguard this Eid. The Salman Khan-starrer will be followed by the superhero fantasy film RA.One with Shah Rukh Khan that is due to release on October 26. Her two songs from RA.One 'Chamak challo...' and 'Shake my booty...' have already gained popularity, but she's quick to point out that, "they're not item songs. One is 'desi dhinchak' and the other is a sexy, western and groovy track." And towards the wee end of the year, Kareena's Bond-Bourne kind of spy thriller with Saif is due.
Agent Vinod was supposed to be a summer release. But according to her, since it's a big action film, the stunts have taken more time. "I'll go back to shooting it in July and it should be out by December," she promises, refuting rumours that the film's been delayed because she gave her dates to Reema Kagti's film with Aamir Khan. "They're canning the action sequences now and don't need me. The date adjustments were made by Karan (Johar) and Atul (Agnihotri), not Saif. I'd just committed to Karan's Short Term Shaadi with Imran Khan, when the Aamir film came along in the same week. And these two months were booked for Bodyguard."
So, what's it like to a festival girl? "Great!" she beams. "Last Diwali, I had a blockbuster in Golmaal 3 and then, 3 Idiots brought along plenty of Christmas cheer. Hopefully, both Eid and Diwali will be big this year with Salman and Shah Rukh. I don't mind being No. 100 on any power list as long as I top the film lists with the best banners. And on that count, 2011 is special!"
