A couple of months ago, it was reported that both Katrina and Kareena have been approached to play the lead in the Hindi remake of Arundhati. Now, we hear that Kareena has given her nod for the project.

Producer Shyam Prasad Reddy says, "We have sold the rights to a south production house for the Hindi remake. And I have heard that Kareena Kapoor is likely to reprise Anushka's role in the remake. This is a period film with a socio-fantasy backdrop and Anushka's performance as Jagamma won her accolades from critics and viewers alike."

Gemini Kiran, who bought the rights for the Hindi remake, confirms that they have approached Kareena to play the lead.

"It's almost confirmed that Kareena is playing the lead. We are waiting for her to adjust dates for us," says Kiran, who is jointly producing the Hindi version with Vidhu Vinod Chopra, with whom he has had a long and successful partnership. On the remaining cast and director of the film, Kiran says, "Once the lead actress is finalized, we will announce the rest of the details."
