"Kareena's instinctive way of working is genius." - Reema Kagti

Reema Kagti, director of upcoming film Talaash, tells Digital Spy what makes Kareena unique.

"It's been fantastic working with Kareena. But her approach is very different. Rani and Aamir have a similar approach. They like to prep, they like to do their homework, they have similar natures if you will. Kareena is the proverbial back bencher.

She finds too much talking curbs her spontaneity. She has a very instinctive way of working that is genius.

I have to say initially, I was more comfortable with over-prepping. I'm also a little bit meticulous, so initially she gave me some heart attacks. So I was frightened at first that she was very under prepped.

We were spending a lot of time doing wardrobe trials and stuff like that, but then the moment I started shooting with her, I was put completely at rest.

From having this backbencher approach and then the first few days I didn't even know if she was listening to me because she was constantly on her phone. I was like, 'Are you texting or are you listening to me?' She's like, 'Yeah yeah. I'm listening to you'.
But when she goes out there and performs she is just right. She is bang on.

When you are working with her you do understand that she is Raj Kapoor's granddaughter. That's the advantage all these Kapoor kids seem to have. Even Ranbir, not that I've worked with him, but when I have seen him perform I recognize that effortless ease and expertise that is so wonderful and I think Kareena brings that same quality.

There is an effortlessness to it. She doesn't even do much in rehearsals. I never really know what she's gonna do until she does it and when she does it, it's just right."
