Dino Morea in the lead role opposite Kareena Kapoor

There's definitely more to Dino Morea apart from the recent two flops Bhram and Anamika to his recognition. Now it is heard that he is all set to produce a film, in which he will cast himself in the lead role opposite Kareena Kapoor.
Though Kareena has agreed to do the film she has yet to sign the dotted lines. Dino confirmed the news but was not willing to reveal details. Still he said that his film is an adaptation of a very successful play from the UK. However, sweet-talk Dino a bit more and he spills the beans. He said that the play, directed by Pravesh was a hit in the UK. He believes in his talent hence he has signed him to direct his first feature film based on his own play. Pravesh has directed two plays Deranged Marriage and Something about Simi. So it seems that the film will be based on either of these.
Dino is cautious in his approach because of an unpleasant experience in the past. Last year, Dino had signed Shamim Desai, the director of Auroville 316, (starring Kelly Dorjee and Meghna Reddy), to direct his first feature film. However, his project did not take off as Desai left him high and dry.
How did he manage to convince Kareena to do the film? Dino said that he had bonded with her during the shoot of an Ad in Rajasthan, which Dino produced. Dino also said that Karan Johar had played the lead with Kareena in the ad. It was then that he made her promise that when he produces a film, she will have to be his co-star. Coincidently the director of his first film also zeroed in on Kareena.
He also told that the role she is doing in this movie is almost like the role that was etched for her. In fact the play is named after her character.
Dino is so gung-ho about his first home production that he turned down many films. Initially, he did films to earn money but now that his needs are met, he needs to build a body of work, and not just his body.
Currently, Dino has only one film on the floors, Acid Factory. In Acid Factory, producer Sanjay Gupta and director Suparn Varma have given him a completely new look.
