Kareena Kapoor keen to work with Tamil actor Suriya

Kareena Kapoor, who earned the ire of Tamil actor Suriya’s fans by saying she doesn’t know him, has clarified that she knows him but has never met him.

“It is a fact that I don’t know him. I’ve never met him, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know who Suriya is. Of course, I know him. He’s a big star in Tamil cinema, in fact one of the biggest. I truly respect his standing in the Indian film industry,” Kapoor said in Mumbai.

“In fact, I’m doing the sequel to Singham, the film where he played the lead originally in Tamil cinema,” she added.

Kapoor says she was upset at reports that she was doing an item song in the Suriya-starrer Anjaan. “I had never met the film’s director Linguswamy nor agreed to do any song or dance in his film. So, how could he be quoted as saying that I was doing a song for his film,” she asked.

Kapoor said that she would love to work with Suriya whenever he does a Hindi film. “He is tremendously talented. It’d be a pleasure and an honour to work with him,” she said.
