Preity and Kareena to play Saif's ex lovers in 'Happy Ending'

Mumbai: Saif Ali Khan's upcoming film 'Happy Ending' will reportedly have actress Preity Zinta and wife Kareena Kapoor Khan playing in his ex-girlfriends.

According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, directors Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K were looking for actresses whose romantic camaraderie with Saif has clicked in the past and it was Saif himself who suggested Preity's name.

“Her character is the anchor in Saif's life. He plays a successful author struggling with a writer's block,“ a source close to the production house was quoted in the tabloid.

Kareena, on the other hand, "is more of an obsessive lover and her part is much smaller than Preity's."

The romantic comedy also stars leana D'Cruz, Govinda, Ranvir Shorey and Kalki Koechlin and is scheduled for release on December 5, 2014.
