Aamir Khan emperor of Bollywood: Kareena

Kareena Kapoor tells Jyothi Venkatesh on the eve of the release of her latest film '3 idiots', that Aamir Khan is the Emperor of Bollywood
Kareena Kapoor plays a very strong role in '3 idiots'. As she puts it succinctly, it is dynamically different from what she had played in 'Kurbaan'.
"I play the role of Piya, a headstrong girl, who trains to be a doctor. In fact, I'd go even to the extent of stating that Piya of '3 idiots' is more real than even Geet of 'Jab We Met' and when you set out to watch Piya in '3 idiots' you will even forget that it is Kareena Kapoor that you are watching on the screen. The father-daughter relationship in '3 idiots' is seen to be believed. Boman Irani plays my father."
Kareena admits that she has not read the book 'Five Point Someone' written by Chetan Bhagat. "In any case, though Vidhu Vinod Chopra has officially bought the right to the book, Raju has written quite a different script for the film and '3 idiots' is not entirely based on the book but a take off from that in Raju Hirani style. Yes. The basic premise has of course been maintained but the characters, the situations and the end are quite different. In fact, there is just a five per cent similarity between the book and what you see on the screen".
According to Kareena, the campus and the classroom setting for '3 idiots' are the only things that remain true to the book and everything else is entirely different, because the film has a very original plot, which is inspired from the book and not based on the book.
