Kareena Kapoor can put her hopes of being cast in My Name Is Khan to rest. For finally Karan Johar’s first choice, Kajol, has agreed to do the film. Kajol recently gave the nod to the project.

A source close to Kajol’s husband, Ajay Devgan, tells us, “Kajol took a long time to take a call on her participation in Karan Johar’s My Name Is Khan, but the problem was that she had not heard the script in detail. This week, she took a long look at the script and finally said ‘yes’.” “Karan and Kajol go back a long way. Their dosti is not only friendship but also respect for each other. Kajol could not have refused the film ,” the insider says.

So how will Kajol adjust to the US schedule? Will her daughter Nysa accompany her? Wasn’t that one of the reasons why Kajol took long to give her consent? “Well, that all will be sorted out. Kajol has worked out how to look after Nysa during that period,” he further informs. We sent a text message to KJo, but he did not reply.The only time Shah Rukh and Kareena have been romantically paired was in Asoka the Great, which was produced in part by Shah Rukh Khan.
