Bebo’s absence raises eyebrows
Kareena Kapoor’s prominent absence from the trailers and posters of Ra.One has raised a lot of speculation as to whether or not she is important to the film. As of now, neither the 10-second teaser, nor the more detailed 30-second version shows even a hint of the leading lady. A film enthusiast says, “One would expect a superstar like Kareena Kapoor to be a part of the 30-second trailer at least.” However, an unfazed Anubhav Sinha, the director of Ra.One maintains that Bebo is an integral part of the film.
“You don’t rope in an actress like Kareena and then not utilise her potential to the fullest. Rest assured, she plays a wonderful role in the film,” asserts Anubhav, without getting into details.
Although the authenticity of this claim will only be known in about six months from now, one still wonders if Bebo’s job in the film will be limited to adding some extra star value. “All I can say is that, it took me and Shah Rukh a fairly long while to zero in on an actress to play the part. And only casting of important characters takes that much time. But I won’t speak any further. As of now, just wait and watch,” says the director.
Given the amount of money riding on his back, the reveal better do justice to the suspense.
