Tigmanshu, who's basking within the glory of new hits like 'Paan Singh Tomar' and 'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster', had first approached Rani Mukherjee for this film, sources said.
The period flick relies at the lifetime of Begum Samru, who started her career as a nautch girl in 18th Century India, and at last became the ruler of Sardhana, a principality near Meerut.
Later on she played a key role within the political power struggle in 18th and 19th century India.
According to sources, Kareena had liked Tigmanshu's both the most recent movies - 'Paan Singh Tomar' and 'Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster' and he or she desires to work with the director.
"It is simply too early to speak about the main points of the film, but Kareena is actually excited for this film," official spokesperson from the director's side said in a statement.
Begum Samru was the top of a professionally-trained mercenary army, inherited from her European mercenary husband, Walter Reinhardt Sombre.
This mercenary army consisted of Europeans and Indians.
She could also be considered the one Catholic ruler in India, as she ruled the principality of Sardhana in 18th and 19th century India.
