Kareena Kapoor will finally team up with Aamir Khan in Rajkumar Hirani's next. Their pairing never took off earlier, with both Mani Ratnam's Lajjo and Vishal Bharadwaj's Mr Mehta and Mrs Singh being shelved.

Kareena and Aamir will now be seen together in Hirani's next film, based on Chetan Bhagat's novel Five Point Someone. Earlier Kajol was being considered for the role but since she was busy with husband, Ajay Devgan's film, she was unable to do it. Apparently, Kareena and Raju had a hush-hush meeting last week, where he narrated the script to her. According to sources close to the actress, Kareena has just loved the Munnabhai films and is very keen to work with Hirani. The film is likely to be called Idiot and the story is about three IIT students. Hirani has also approached John Abraham, Shah Rukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan for other roles in the film. The real story behind Kajol's exit and Kareena's entry goes something like this. So, though Kajol is going around saying that she hasn't yet read Raju's film and will only consider the film after she reads the script, it is a fact that when Hirani found out that she had poked fun at him by asking Shah Rukh Khan who Hirani was and if he was any good as a director, he felt insulted. He decided then to take the script to Kareena who has shown a keen interest and is trying to work out her dates. Well, Kajol's loss is certainly Kareena's gain.
