One of the biggest releases of this week is Veere Di Wedding. This 'not a chick flick' stars Kareena Kapoor Khan and Sonam Kapoor Ahuja in the lead, with Swara Bhasker and Shikha Talsania also part of the girl gang. Veere Di Wedding is directed by Shashanka Ghosh of Waisa Bhi Hota hai Part II and Khoobsurat fame. Going by the promos, the movie feels like a celebration of friendship, set against the backdrop of a wedding.

Now, this is the first time Sonam Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan are working together in a movie, though the experience has made them life-long buddies. Veere Di Wedding is also Kareena's first movie after the short break she took to give us Taimur and embrace motherhood. Interestingly, the movie she did last before taking that break was Ki & Ka, and it had Kareena romance Sonam's cousin Arjun Kapoor.

Kareena's filmy connection with Sonam's family doesn't end there. Not many might remember this, but Kareena had also played Sonam's father Anil Kapoor's wife in the 2005 movie Bewafaa. The second wife, actually (the first wife dies and Anil's character married her sister so that the kids can have a mother-figure. Bollywood, right?). This Dharmesh Darshan movie had her pair up with both Akshay Kumar and Anil Kapoor. The movie also stars Sushmita Sen, Manoj Bajpayee and Shamita Shetty.

That's not the only movie that Kareena and Anil did together. They also acted in YRF's action thriller Tashan, that also had Akshay, as well as Kareena's future husband, Saif Ali Khan. Anil Kapoor played the main antagonist, while Kareena made size zero look famous with this one.

Unfortunately, both Bewafaa and Tashan were duds at the box office, so we hope that Kareena has better luck with Sonam and Veere Di Wedding!
