What do Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor have in common? Well if sources are to be believed, their lives – or more correctly their love life – is the source of inspiration for a new Bollywood film.

A new Bollywood flick titled “The Secret Life of Karina” from the Spectra Multimedia stable is all set to go on the floors. The Rs 20-core flick features a female super star who is a prostitute in real life and the male lead called Saifee who is brigand and smuggler.

The film is loosely based on the life of Bollywood super star Kareena Kapoor and has some very controversial scenes which deal with the love life of the characters in question. It also features a rogue character called Saifee and another called Shaheed – subtle, but apparent references to Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor.

Aspiring actress and south star Apsara Soni will play the role of Karina in the film. She has been signed on for Rs 30 lakh, after dancing sensation Shradha Sharma refused to do the film.

According to sources, Shradha Sharma was offered Rs 50 lakh to play the role of Karina in the film but she turned it down as “she didn’t want to offend Kareena Kapoor”.
Says Shradha Sharma, “The production house Spectra Multimedia approached me last week with a script for their film - The secret life of Karina. The script is very interesting and is a combination of Murder, Kwashish and Jannat. It has murder, sex, passion, romance and is also features a gambler who falls in love with the heroine who is a sex doll. However, when I learnt that some portions of the script were ‘inspired’ from the personal life of Kareena Kapoor, I decided not to do it, as I really admire Kareena Kapoor and doing this film would definitely mean rubbing her the wrong way.”

According to sources at Spectra Multimedia, the film which is expected to go on floors soon has a scene where the hero slits his wrists when his lady love (supposedly Kareena) refuses to take his calls. The script writer has used a lot of poetic license and freedom to portray the characters of Kareena and Shahid.

Saif Ali Khan’s character called Saifee also features in the script, but in this film he is the villain who ’snatches’ the hero’s lady love. There are many other controversial scenes in the film where the ‘villain’ even attempts to rape the heroine who ultimately succumbs to the lucre and lure of big money and gives in to the carnal demands of the villain.
