Moving up! WoW! Kangana And Yashraj Films

The latest news doing the rounds is that Kangana Ranaut has signed a three-film contract with Yashraj Films.

According to the grapevine, last week, Aditya Chopra approached Kangana to be part of their forthcoming ventures. According to our source, "Kangana has been trying to enter the Yash Raj camp for a long time. She had been sending feelers through her co-actor Shiney Ahuja and even through other common friends. Finally, Kangana's dream has come true." Apparently, Aditya liked her in Woh Lamhe, and decided to work with her.

The Bhatt camp, surprisingly, is unperturbed with this move. Our source tells us why, "Kangana wanted to do different kinds of roles; she was not getting the deal she wanted in the Bhatt camp. She wanted to work with other prestigious banners, naturally."

How can her 'unofficial' walk-out from the Bhatt camp not create an impact on them? "The question of staging a walkout can only arise if we have a contract with the actor. We are a destiny-making company; our security doesn't come from holding on to our actors like real estate property. We let them free," says Mahesh Bhatt.

Mahesh Bhatt feels that Kangana's entry into the Yashraj camp is neither a big deal, nor a surprise. "For those who see this as an indication that she has finally arrived in Bollywood, I would say that she arrived the day she faced the camera for the first time in Gangster. As a production house, we do not indulge in binding any actor with contract. I think freedom is everyone's birthright," says Bhatt.

We tried to contact Kangana but she remained unavailable for comment.
