Kareena Kapoor set to play a schizophrenic?

This looks like a role that will test the acting mettle of Kareena Kapoor. Director Rajkumar Gupta is said to have roped Kareena in for his next film.

And guess what she will be seen playing in the yet untitled movie? A schizophrenic. We’re sure you know what that is, but just to re-define: a schizophrenic is a person who has an altered perception of reality and has abnormal social behavior.

We hear that in Gupta’s next film, Kareena Kapoor will play a woman who’s out of a mental institution when she is thrown into a flurry of events that eventually get her trapped in a web of criminal activity.

Now, for a schizophrenic, a criminal activity may be an acceptable social behavior.

Director Rajkumar Gupta, who has previously made No One Killed Jessica, says the film will explore the section 88 of the IPC.

The said section of the Indian Penal Code defines ‘The Act of a Person of Unsound Mind’.

According to Section 88, “Nothing is an offence which is done by a person who, at the time of doing it, by reason of unsoundness of mind, is incapable of knowing the nature of the act, or that he is doing what is either wrong or contrary to law.”

The film is said to be also based on a real life incident. It is expected to roll from April this year.

Kareena Kapoor is presently working in Kabir Khan’s film Bajrangi Bhaijaan with Salman Khan.
