Raajneeti brings Ranbir-Katrina together again

raajneeti

The competitive spirit has taken over Raajneeti in a big way. Both Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif see the film as a passport to the National awards. With stalwarts like Naseeruddin Shah, Manoj Bajpai, Nana Patekar and Ajay Devgn in the cast, the young stars of the show have decided to pull out all stops to ensure their performances are noticed at the right places.

“Katrina and Ranbir have surrendered themselves completely to the project and will do whatever is required” says Prakash Jha, the director of Raajneeti.

Priyanka or Rani in off shoulder dress???

Priyanka is so much used to carrying skimpy off shoulder dresses that it comes to her as 123. And now it is Rani in that sea green off shoulder trying to imbibe a style that suits Priyanka the most. Daring, I must say, but does that suit Rani?

Who do you think rocks in a short dress??

Sonu Sood fractures his nose while shooting

The shooting of Dabangg in Wai seems to be quite an accident-prone event for the cast and crew. Only last week, Salman Khan was rushed to a local hospital after he complained of smoke congestion when a fire erupted on the sets. Now Salman’s co-star in Dabangg, Sonu Sood has landed himself with a fractured nose while shooting forthe film earlier this week.

“Yes…It’s true that I got hurt two days ago while shooting. We were shooting a fight scene between Salman and me that is a part of the climax. During the practice, one of the fighters jumped and his knee happened to hit my nose real hard. The pain was quite severe and I was taken to the hospital for an X-ray and scan. The X-ray revealed a fracture in my nose. The doctor advised me bed rest for 3-4 days, but since we were shooting the climax scene between Salman and me I didn’t want to delay the schedule. I landed on the sets the very next day after taking some painkillers and shot for some light scenes” said Sonu.

One must say that Sonu has indeed shown true professionalism by continuing to shoot in spite of a fractured nose.

Katrina’s Hindi improved after Raajneeti

Katrina Kaif has a point to prove in Raajneeti. It’s not just the National Award that she’s aiming to get with her performance. It’s the long-winded rhetorical dialogues that she wants to get tone-and-pitch-perfect so that once and for all no one would ever say she can’t speak Hindi fluently.

Katrina admits her Hindi has improved considerably after working in Raajneeti.

“None of my roles so far required any specific fluency in the way I spoke. When I got a chance I decided to work on it really hard.”
