She is the only heroine among several big-name male stars, including Akshaye Khanna, Jackie Shroff, Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty in director Priyadarshan's new film.

News Editor (Entertainment), Syed Firdaus Ashraf spoke to Kareena about her role in the film.

I play Anjali in Hulchul. The film is about a love-hate relationship between Akshaye Khanna and me. It isn't a typical love story. It is a family entertainer, with a lot of comedy.

I did this film only because I wanted to work with Priyadarshan. I saw his films Muskurahat and Gardish thrice, and love them. I have also seen a lot of his Malayalam films.

Other films I really adore of his are Hera Pheri and Virasat. I think Jackie has given one of his best performances in Gardish, and so have Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal in Hera Pheri.
