Another factor that makes 'Love Aaj Kal' a special film for Kareena is the fact that it has Imtiaz at the driving seat.

'I have worked with Imtiaz in 'Jab We Met' and ever since then we all expect so much from him. He has great sensibilities of a storyteller and can't set a foot wrong. I really hope and pray that 'Love Aaj Kal' manages to strike a chord with audiences in the same way as 'Jab We Met',' she said.

Remembering her stint in 'Jab We Met', Kareena agrees that it was an extraordinary experience.

'To play a character like 'Geet' (her screen name in 'Jab We Met') doesn't happen all the time; it just happens. When you begin working on a film, you of course know about the story and your character. However, no one knows how audiences would eventually react to it. 'Geet' did strike a chord with the audiences and became a household name,' she said.

One expects something similar from 'Love Aaj Kal' as well that also stars Deepika Padukone. Apart from them, Rishi Kapoor and Rahul Khanna will also be seen in pivotal roles with Neetu Singh in a guest appearance.
