Am I the only one who can't really seem to understand the connection btwn Rani & Katrina here?

Katrina and Rani have had their share of success for totally different reasons. Rani was never eye candy for viewers..she was an actress plain & simple. She made some wrong choices by restricting herself to the Johars & Chopras during the mid 2000s when she didn't have to because her talent was enough to get her almost any role. Katrina on the other hand..lol..is more or less eye candy for viewers. How many people really go watching her films expecting a legit performance? who are we kidding. She'll probably still be around as long as she can look pretty onscreen & by the time she gets to her 100th film, I'm sure she'll become an actress. & oh yeah, she can just do item numbers for the remaining part of her career & she'll still be famous.

Point is, both these two ladies are two opposite extremes..the success of their films depend on different factors, regardless of the kinds of camps they work with & whatnot.

You are better with your one-liners actually. 😆 Concise, to-the-point and witty!

Off-topic, Cutie, is Rani's pic with Shahid a recent one? 'Cause she looks fresh and young - something sorely missing from her looks these days.

Yeah its pretty recent. It is from Farah Khan's housewarming which was held during the end of December 2011.

Interesting... Thats quite a similar path ... The only difference i see is all four YRF movies that spelt doom for Rani had stars like Saif, Shahid and AB Jr... Rani definitely was a bigger star at that point of time compared to all three... The movies were totally riding on her star power and when they failed it meant a major career setback for her...


Regrding Katrina and her YRF movies, all three of her movies have the three leading Khans as her co stars... All three are still on top and so i guess there is a very good chance that most of those movies will work at the BO...

y'all watch out. Tebow is coming with a bible to beat ya'll next time! 😆

The bold bit: Thats where the comparision is...is Katrina also restricting herself to the Chopras and Johars? All her dates are hogged by them and she has none for others just like it was with Rani at one point till no one wanted her including the Chopras and Johars. Rani couldnt even fallback on her so called friendship with powerful Khans when she needed them. Coming to Katrina unlike Rani cannot even call these people her friends/family. Everyone is associating with her for her popularity and because she is considered lucky in a superstitious industry.
Some people say that Katrina has made an impact with her item numbers. But item numbers are a very temporary thing. Many times people dont even remember the song after a few months. So how can item number fame be long lasting? Few years ago we had a choli ke peechey trend when suddenly censor board went crazy trying to restrict the vulgar lyrics in songs. This was started by the then famous Madhuri's choli ke peechay song. This was something like Sheila Ki Jawani of today where the song itself managed to save Khalnayak from tanking completely.
Yet today no one remembers that song. What we remember is Madhuri but we remember not as the choli ke peechay girl but by her performances in movies like HAHK. But Katrina doesnt have a HAHK in her career to be remembered nostalgically by fans 20 years later.

Found an old and new article on Katrina's choosiness:
Only Khans and Ranbir for Kat
Meena Iyer, TNN Apr 6, 2011, 12.00am IST
(Katrina Kaif More Pics)The actress seems partial to Ranbir Kapoor, the Khan trio and Akshay Kumar, with whom she has done maximum films
The list of heroes Katrina Kaif has turned down is getting longer by the second. Not many are aware that in the last few months she has turned down Vipul Shah's film with Abhishek Bachchan, Rohit Shetty's Singham with Ajay Devgn, Kunal Kohli's film with Saif Ali Khan (it now has Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra), is still to return Sunny Deol's call asking her to team up with him.
The only heroes Katrina is reportedly keen to team up with are the three Khans (Aamir, Shah Rukh, Salman) and one Kapoor (Ranbir). She even agreed to team up with Imran Khan in Mere Brother Ki Dulhan because Aditya Chopra requested her. All these heroes are naturally smarting.
Says our source, "Whether Kat accepts a film or not is her prerogative. What is really annoying though is that she keeps people waiting for the longest time before she says a 'no'. In the case of Kunal Kohli's film, she apparently kept them waiting for six months before she excused herself."

Debutants stay away
February 29, 2012 By Reena Kapoor a a a ShareAdd To My Pages email print

A-list actors in Bollywood these days are more than willing to work with first-time directors, unlike in the past when they would stay a mile away from debutants. One person who still has a problem with newcomers though is Katrina Kaif. The actress has said a complete "no" to working under first-time directors, and has also instructed her team to not entertain offers which involve a debutant at the helm.
"She is in a position to take a call on how she wants to mould her career," says a friend. And considering the intense competition among top-rung actresses, with even a single hit or flop determining a major change in the pecking order — as Priyanka Chopra found out the hard way — every film one takes up is fraught with risk. Kat, it would seem, is in no mood to take any.
"She has become extremely selective about her films. Most producers know that Katrina won't settle for anything but the best, so they are apprehensive about approaching her. She has declined many offers that she was unsure about, but at her level she can certainly afford it," says a source close to her.
