Rishi Kapoor and Katrina...
While Vijay Krishna Acharya's 'Dhoom 3' which released yesterday is setting cash registers ringing, so has been Aditya Chopra's phone. The frantic caller was none other than Rishi Kapoor, who is furious with the way the film's leading lady Katrina Kaif, his son Ranbir's current beau, has been portrayed in the film.
Rishi and wife Neetu Kapoor caught a special screening of the film on Thursday, but left the screening in a huff because they were upset with Katrina's role, however, not before creating a lot of drama.
Those present at the screening were shocked by Rishi's gallant behaviour said he was drunk and Neetu had a tough time managing him, so much so that she had to call up her bodyguards for help. An inebriated Rishi was overheard saying that Katrina was portrayed like a sex kitten who was cast only to strip and dance in a few songs. He also reportedly swore that this would be the last film his family would be doing for Yash Raj films.
Drama ensued when he immediately called up Aditya Chopra who is currently holidaying with his rumoured girlfriend Rani Mukherji in Switzerland and gave him an earful. Though Aditya lent a listening ear, and later asked Rishi to simply relax, he went on record to say that Katrina was completely in cognizance of what she had to do in the film and that no one had forced her to sign the film at gunpoint.
Rishi was not satisfied with Adi's answer and went ahead to say that Katrina is going to be the Kapoor bahu and he had no right to portray her in this light. He threatened him to add Katrina's hit songs Sheila Ki Jawani and Chikni Chameli to the film, or else she would never be working with Yash Raj Films again.
The usually calm and composed Adi had now been irked and went on record to say that for someone who did sleazy acts in a C-grade soft-po*n flick like Boom should consider herself lucky to have been offered movies by his home production. At this point, Rishi fainted.
Neetu Kapor did not have much to say about this because she had reportedly gone for a loo break, and by the time she came back Katrina's part had begun and ended too. Although after hearing Rishi babble, she immediately called up Ranbir and asked him to break all ties with Katrina and hook up with Deepika who has been on a roll recently.
We texted Rakesh Roshan if he had any idea about the controversy, and he texted back saying Dhoom 3 will not even collect half as much as his Krrish 3.
