Kajol picked Karan Johar yet again. The actress, who was approached first by designer Vikram Phadnis to star in an adaptation of Susan Sarandon-Julia Roberts starrer Stepmom, turned him down at the time citing date problems. As is now confirmed, Karan Johar will produce a remake of the film with Kajol and Kareena in the lead roles.

It is quiet obvious that Kajol said yes to Karan because of her friendship with him. Kajol treats him like family, so agreeing to do the film came quite naturally. Phadnis adds that the Stepmom adaptation took up a major chunk of his time. “The last 10 months of my life were taken up by this film. Now I plan to get back to taking on more films. Besides Dulha Mil Gaya, I am also working on Rohit Shetty’s All The Best.”

Vikram Phadnis also stated that if he made the film it would be silly. Since Karan Johar has the actual rights and is going ahead with his project, Phadnis wish him the very best and vikram will now work on his second script.
