Shamitabh's director, R Balki has roped in Kareena Kapoor Khan and Arjun Kapoor in his next directorial venture.

The film would be a light hearted love story set in North India and Arjun will be romancing Bebo for the first time.

The film will go on floors in July this year and will release next year. Kareena is said to be the childhood crush of Arjun Kapoor and therefore, Arjun is thrilled with Balki's project.

Arjun once said, "I want to work with Anushka (Sharma), Katrina (Kaif) and yes not to forget Kareena Kapoor as she is my first genuine crush. But I don't know when I will get the opportunity. It is always good to work with different actors, instead of repeating the same. May be by next year, I will have projects opposite them. I want to work with all of them."
