Special gesture

Kareena KapoorKareena Kapoor Khan says it’s a rarity for popular stars to take up movies on relevant subjects. But she agreed to do a “small special role” in ‘Udta Punjab’ – a movie on Punjab’s drug menace – for the strong message that it conveys.

Kareena is seen essaying a doctor named Priti Sahani in the Abhishek Chaubey directorial, which has been in the midst of controversy for its theme.

“It has a strong message and it’s a small special role. I thought it has a great message and (because I wanted) to be part of something good out there for my fans,” added Kareena, who dedicated 20 days to the film.
