Each day, the buzz is growing stronger that Kareena and boyfriend Saif Ali Khan will tie the knot early next year.

If rumours are to be believed they might get married right after the release of Saif production 'Agent Vinod'.

Although Kareena has said she will continue working in films after marriage, she will definitely give priority to marriage and that means less movies and assignments.

On the other hand Shah Rukh is all set to make the sequel of his ambitious sci-fi adventure 'Ra.One'. He has already commissioned a team of writers to pen down the script of the movie.

It is reported by India Today that the 'Chammak-Challo' girl Kareena Kapoor is not going to be part of 'Ra.One' sequel.

So SRK will have to look for a new leady lady. Moreover team 'Ra.One' wasn't much thrilled with the amount of time Kareena gave to promote the movie proior to the release.

Kareena's reluctance to work or give priority to marriage may cost her 'Ra.One' 2. There are also talks that even Kareena is not very pleased with the box-office show of 'Ra.One'.

'Ra.One' saw a 70-80 per cent occupancy in its first weekend, which was considered fairly unimpressive given the fact that the film's promotional budget - at around Rs.50 crore - was the highest in Bollywood to date.
 
The film was declared a "hit" by almost all the trade magazines - a far cry from the blockbuster status that people in the industry expected.
