Kat's the attitude!

The actress is re-charting her career graph to new heights. Seeta aur Geeta is being remade with her in it, Zoya Akhtar has been told to rewrite her script to accommodate more of her

After the stupendous success of Raajneeti, Katrina Kaif is all set to anchor a new innings as Bollywood's leading female star. For starters, she is playing the lead role in the remake of Seeta aur Geeta, the iconic double role that made Hema Malini a force to reckon with.


A good test of Katrina's growing clout in tinsel town is how she is calling the shots today, when it comes to navigate her career. For instance, it is she who has decided that Anees Bazmee should be helming this project.

Similarly, with Zoya Akhtar's Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Kaif is re-negotiating a meatier role in the multi-starrer.

This has ruffled some feathers in the crew of this film because in the recent past Katrina has backed out of several movies, because the role was not substantial. These rejects include Anurag Basu's Silence, Shristi Arya's remake of Bride Wars and Anees Bazmee's Thank You.
A source from the unit reveals, "In Zoya's film Katrina plays a seductress; the role is more about her looks than actual acting.

After Raajneeti, she has received recognition for her acting skills rather than merely her Barbie Doll looks."

The source continues, "The movie features Kalki. Katrina won't want a lesser role compared to her. Zoya has heard her and is making changes wherever possible." Katrina said, "Zoya's film is a bound script with dialogues. There can be no changes."

Zoya's film is a bound script with dialogues. There can be no changes made further

GO Kat GO!! A powerpacked performance is still due from her and she should use all the resources that she has to work on her weaknesses and to take a foot step towards improving her acting!! Box office power is behind her time to polish up her acting skills.. And if she can pull the double role off.. then that would be a landmark for her.. Anees baazmi is a guy with talent he can sure cook up a hilarious cocktail and make a nice remake of this classic.

OMG! A big NO! I'm sorry, but I think Kareena would be a better choice! I would have said Preity, but after JWM Kareena would be so better suited for Seeta Aur Geeta! But all the best to Kat!

OMG No. I hope it works for her sake but a female centric role like Seetha aur Geetha - no way will she be able to pull it off.

^^^ My thoughts exactly. I thought I read KAREENA and was like yeh...that makes sense.

Kat'll pull in the audience though so it makes sense. She might even surprise us!

Hmm my first thought was no way can Kat pull off what Hema Malani did in the film. But lets see what happens because am always about giving people a chance!

will it work out? I highly doubt it. coz kat films has done well so far bcoz of her co-stars and the director handling it well, but a movie totally dependent on Kat, i highly doubt it

We know Rani, Kajol or Preity could pull of that role, but I would prefer Kat doing this role since she has not done something like this before it would be interesting for us as audience to watch it.
