Salman said Kangana would be the perfect choice to play the part
It seems that actress Kangana Ranaut has found a new fan in Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. Filmmaker Nikhil Advani says Salman suggested Kangana's name for his forthcoming film
Katti Batti.
Mr Advani, who has worked with Salman in films like
Salaam-e-Ishq: A Tribute To Love and
Hero, says Salman liked the script of
Katti Batti and felt that the
Queen actress would be the 'perfect choice' to play the role of Payal.
"Salman loved the script as soon as he heard it and suggested that Kangana would be the perfect fit for Payal's character. Later that night, Salman called Kangana, who was in New York and told her that Payal's character was tailor made for her. As soon as Kangana got back in town we took things forward," Mr Advani said in a statement.
Katti Batti, which also stars actor Imran Khan, will release on September 18.
