Katrina to star in ‘Arundhati’


Buzz has it that the 2009 Tollywood magnum opus, 'Arundhati', which set the box office on fire, will be remade in Hindi, with Bollywood’s reigning queen, Katrina Kaif, essaying the role played by the Telugu actress Anushka Shetty.


'Arundhati' which was directed by Kodi Ramakrishna emerged a blockbuster. It was a fantasy genre film that was appreciated for its art direction, cinematography and the performances of Anushka Shetty and Sonu Sood.

It’s learnt that the film production company, Gemini film Circuit, has bought the remake rights of the Telugu film and is keen to produce the film.

Katrina or Kareena would be part of 'Arundhati'
Talks are going on in film circles that either Kareena or Katrina would be chosen to portray the title character Arundhati. However sources close to the film have revealed that chances are more for Katrina to get the lead role.

The film which is considered to be the best made South Indian flick for its exemplary movie making techniques was dubbed in Tamil, Malayalam and Oriya.

Katrina to croon for 'Dhoom 3'
Katrina is shining in Bollywood ever since her last two films, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, dominated the box office by making pots of money on the opening day.

The actress, whose career is on a roll, will soon be belting out a song for her upcoming action adventure flick 'Dhoom 3'.
The actress, who made sure her priorities about not wearing a bikini were met before signing the film, is all set to create a niche for herself in the industry by turning into a singer for the film.

Experimenting roles in films is nothing new for Katrina, in Zoya Akhtar’s ZNMD, the actress was seen as a scuba diving instructor and in MBKD the actress grabbed more eyeballs for her Rockkstar act. And interestingly for her forthcoming film, Kat would be lending her voice for a song.
It remains to be seen how the 'Arundhati'remake works for Katz.
