Saif Ali Khan's production company will launch KareenaKapoor's cousin Armaan Jain, who is in his early 20s, in their next film.
Armaan is the son of Reema and Manoj Jain. Reema is Randhir Kapoor's youngestsister and she lives in Mumbai. She is also very close to her nieces Karismaand Kareena.
Armaan was an assistant director for Shakun Batra's "Ek Main Aur EkkTu" and was often spotted hanging around his cousinBebo on the sets of the film.
One always knew that Armaan would step in front of the camera once he hadfinished his stint as AD; but it comes as a pleasant surprise to know that thisyoungster is being launched by none other than Saif's production house.
Another valuable piece of information one gathered is that Athiya, SuneilShetty's daughter, who studied in a film school in the US was being consideredfor a lead role in a film by Saif's office. No official confirmations areavailable on this because the casting process is still underway.
