Kareena Kapoor Says She 'Doesn't Mind' Working With Ryan Gosling, Reveals Her Reason To Not Join Hollywood
For the Hindi adaptation of Marvel's audio series 'Wastelanders', Kareena and Saif Ali Khan will each voice a different Marvel character in two separate episodes: Black Widow and Peter Quill.
New Delhi: According to Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor, she "doesn't mind" working with Hollywood star Ryan Gosling. The actress expressed her gratitude for the possibility for Indian actors to work in Hollywood in a recent interview. Kareena continued by saying that she isn't seeking to work in Hollywood because her kids, Taimur and Jehangir Ali Khan, are still quite young.
For the Hindi adaptation of Marvel's audio series 'Wastelanders', Kareena and her husband-actor Saif Ali Khan will each voice a different Marvel character in two separate episodes: Black Widow and Peter Quill, respectively. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Scarlett Johansson performed the legendary role of Black Widow, and Kareena revealed that Saif thought she would make a wonderful voice for the character (MCU).
In an interview with news agency PTI, Kareena said, “People from here are going to the West, hoping that a lot of actors from the west would come here, we would be equally honoured and excited. I don’t mind working with Ryan Gosling. I never wanted to do that (act in Hollywood). I am too rooted here. My babies are too young, I got married and everything happened so fast. Now, it is impossible to leave them. But, Marvel comes here.”
Talking about lending her voice, Kareena said, "They (makers) cast our voice at the same time because I remember telling Saif, 'I am offered Black Widow' and he was like, 'You have to do it because you are the perfect Black Widow and there is no one else who could dub it'. I kept reading about her character and figured that I was resonating with it a lot. Saif has already lent his voice for his character. We are very excited about it. These characters are going to be Indian and are going to be owned by Indian actors through their voice, which everyone across India and globe will be hearing."
Marvel's Wastelanders: Star-Lord, Marvel's Wastelanders: Hawkeye, Marvel's Wastelanders: Black Widow, Marvel's Wastelanders: Wolverine, Marvel's Wastelanders: Doom, and Marvel's Wastelanders, which will conclude the series with an epic finale, are the six seasons of the Hindi Audible Original podcast series.
On the work front, Kareena will next be seen in 'The Crew' alongside Tabu and Kriti Sanon. She also has Sujoy Ghosh's Hindi adaptation of 'The Devotion Of Suspect X' and Hansal Mehta's murder mystery in the pipeline.
