Ranbir roots for Katrina

[1]

To play Kishore Kumar on the big screen is an opportunity no actor would want to miss. Ranbir Kapoor who is riding high after his film Barfi was announced as India’s official entry to the Oscars, is also kicked about his next film based on the life of veteran singer and actor Kishore Kumar.

But the filmmakers are still looking for an actress to portray the beautiful Madhubala opposite Ranbir in the film.
“A lot of names have been considered so far, but they haven’t really zeroed in on any actress yet,” says our source. But there is a strong buzz among the filmwallahs that RK has been recommending good friend Katrina Kaif to play the part. The duo hasn’t worked together after Rajneeti since they were both caught up with their respective assignments, but they had been meeting off screen once in a while. And their midnight rendezvous at the actress’ suburban house has been captured by the paparazzi on not one, but multiple occasions.
If things work out, it will be a casting coup of sorts. After all, they are one of the most sought after onscreen couple at the moment. The Ranbir-Katrina chemistry has worked well in before in films like Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani and Rajneeti, and if the dates and other formalities work out, their pairing would be the USP for the film.
And, we’ll keep a tab on Sallu’s reactions too.
