Kareena Kapoor Khan discusses Poo, the everlasting impact of the character, and a spin-off film!

One of the most recognisable and well-liked characters from Kareena Kapoor Khan's career is the hilarious Poo character from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. The leading lady considers it astonishing that the character is still popular across all age groups 21 years after the film's first premiere.

In a chat with ETimes, Kareena was asked if she believes Poo deserves a film of her own, and she replied, "Oh God! Like I think now this character is so relevant with this generation more than it was then."

The actress then discusses the reasons for the character's tremendous fan base. According to Kareena the character is from Chandni Chowk in New Delhi and later relocates to London with her sister, portrayed by Kajol, and brother-in-law, played by Shah Rukh Khan.

She further on added, "I think for the way she is, the way she talks, the kind of millennial Gen-Z kinda words that she uses, connect somehow. So, I think it is because of that more than anything else. Let's see a film someday, who knows."

While Poo, played by Kareena, is well known for her fashion sense and one-liners including "Kaun hai yeh jisne dobara mudke mujhe nahi dekha", “P.H.A.T - Pretty, Hot And Tempting” as well as "Tumhe koi haq nahi banta ki tum itni khoobsurat lago. Not fair" as well as several others.

On the other hand, Kareena plays the role of an actress named Rupa in Advait Chandan's Laal Singh Chaddha. The movie is an official Hindi version of the 1994 Academy Award-winning Forrest Gump starring Tom Hanks which also features Aamir Khan, Mona Singh, and Naga Chaitanya. The project, which began in 2019, employed more than 100 locations across India. Produced by Aamir Khan Productions, Kiran Rao, and Viacom18 Studios was Laal Singh Chaddha. August 11 saw the film's theatrical debut.

In her next acting project, Kareena will join Jaideep Ahlawat and Vijay Varma in Sujoy Ghosh's thriller. Along with that, she will debut as a producer with the thriller Hansal Mehta is putting together.
