And guess what? He wishes to cast Kapoor sisters together in it.
Revealing the same, a source told an entertainment portal that, "Khalid had written the script of Rutbaa (The Honour) keeping Karisma and Kareena in mind. The sequel will make Karisma appear only in flashbacks as the main character would be Kareena who would be investigating her mother’s mysterious death. But as he’s very busy writing the script for his next project - the sequel to New Delhi Times, Khalid hasn’t been getting much chance to make that movie, so he is converting the research material into a novel, called The Imperfect Prince."

Khalid Mohamed has confirmed that he wants Kareena & Karisma to be a part of 'Zubeidaa' sequel titled 'Rutbaa'. He told Pinkvilla that, "While I haven’t spoken to them, I hope they would consider my offer. It would be a fantasy for me to see them together in Rutbaa. I would also like to have a director matching my sensibilities to direct it. There are very few left of the sensibilities of Shyam Benegal who know that culture and milieu. If Kareena and Kareena agree to do it, it would work. If a sequel is made through my book, The Imperfect Prince, which is fact and fiction, Rekha, Anil Kapoor, Karisma and Kareena would definitely be on my wish list of actors."
Hmm...we hope that the things work out between Kahlid Mohamed & Kapoor sisters as fans would love to see them together on big-screen.
For the uninitiated, 'Zubeidaa' was directed by Shyam Benegal and featured Karisma Kapoor & Manoj Bajpayee in lead roles. The film released in 2001 and earned huge critical acclaim. 'Zubeidaa' also won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi.
