Gender swapping in ‘Ki & Ka’ wins over B-Town

Mumbai: R. Balki’s idea of role reversal to question age-old stereotypical notions about gender, with marriage as the canvas through “Ki & Ka”, has bowled over stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Karan Johar and Varun Dhawan.

The celebrities have appreciated the film and the filmmaker for taking on an issue like gender differences in a fun and zingy manner.

“Ki & Ka” aims to dispel gender disparity with its story wherein Arjun Kapoor essays a house husband and Kareena Kapoor Khan is seen as an ambitious, career-oriented woman. The film, slated to release on April 1, has a cameo by Amitabh and his wife Jaya.
