Highlights
- Katrina Kaif is on a roll in the South. She has been offered Rajinikanth's comeback film post his illness, Kochadaiyaan. All formalities including the money (reportedly a whopping Rs 5 crores) have been agreed on.
- But just when she was to ink the deal comes Kamal Haasan with an offer to play the lead in his Hindi-Tamil-Telugu anti-corruption epic Amar Hai that goes on the floors by year-end.
- Says a friend close to Katrina, "She's very eager to work with Rajinikanth. It's like a wish come true for every Indian actress to do at least one film with him. And to be offered a film by Kamal Haasan is a big honour. Between shooting for the two Yashraj films with Salman and Shah Rukh Khan, she has to find the time to squeeze in the Tamil icons."
- According to the Kochadaiyaan producers Katrina's portions are all that remain to be shot. Kamal Haasan's film has some pronounced advantages for Katrina.
- Says the source, "Firstly she's a big Kamal Haasan fan. Secondly though Kamaji plays the title role of Amar in the film, Kat has a dream role in Amar Hai, the kind that she has never played before."
- Kamal Haasan confirmed Katrina's presence in the project. "She has been approached by the producer. It would be lovely to have her on board. The role suits her perfectly."
