When it does fructify, it'll be the grand mother of all casting coups. Apparently, Sajid Nadiadwala and Rohit Jugraj are in a competition… that has valuable little to do with Bipasha Basu and Saif Ali Khan… and everything to do with… cousins Ranbir Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor!

A casting match is on the anvil, guys, as both Nadiadwala and Jugraj try to pencil in KK and RK for their projects.
In the meantime, rival Imran Khan's 'I Love Bebo' campaign has borne fruit as the young actor has clinched a cine deal with Bebo for a Karan Johar production.
Khan's joy may be a bit short lived as Jugraj's 'Cousins' and Nadiadwala's film are quite likely to showcase Kareena alongside Ranbir Boy. By the way, Priyanka Chopra had turned out to be the beneficiary as maiden choice Kareena opted out of Nadiadwala's 'Anjaana Anjaani'.
Kareena has complained in a previous media talk, "Ranbir is so talented and I know that I can work magic with him onscreen. But he's my brother. How can I star opposite him?"
As per trustworthy sources, Jugraj's 'Cousins' is centered on first cousins who come together for a common cause.
States Nadiadwala in a media quote, "A lead pair does not have to be romantically involved all the time. We can have a subject like 'Sadma' which had Kamal Haasan and Sridevi."
