I can't match Helen: Kareena

Bebo, whose performance in Vishal Bhardwaj’s recent Omkara drew critical acclaim, makes a cameo appearance in the Farhan Akhtar remake, slated for a release this Diwali.

In the film Kareena attempts to seduce the new Don with a dance sequence performed to the beat of a remixed 'Ye Mera Dil Pyar Ka Deewana', one of the two songs retained from the original film.

For those who have not seen the original Don Kareena's cameo will be just an item number. Others will compare it with the performance by the inimitable Helen.

Explaining her cameo in Idol Chat on TV show a few weeks earlier Kareena said, "Its great. I am nervous because I don't think I could ever match up to Helen aunty. What she has done is something else altogether and there is absolutely no comparison."

But why did the popular actress agree to do a cameo in Don? To relive the Asoka magic, perhaps! Well, SRK and Kapoor were last seen together in Santosh Sivan's Ashoka and she is excited at being paired opposite SRK, after a gap of five years.

Don’s preview video clips show Kapoor turned out in a gold and brocade outfit. The dance sequence is choreographed by Farah Khan while the music is by Shankar, Ehsaan, Loy. It may be recalled that in Chandra Barot's original, Asha Bhonsle was the voice of Helen on screen. This time round, the song has been sung by Sunidhi Chauhan.
