It’s not Congress president Sonia Gandhi but her daughter Priyanka Vadra whom Bollywood actor Katrina Kaif followed to prepare for her role in the dark political thriller “Raajneeti”. But her character is not based on either of them.
“As part of the basic exercise I followed Priyanka because she is a very strong person. I feel she is very independent and a right blend of modern values, ethics and everything. And she is young,” Katrina, 25,said in an interview

Katrina Kaif Refuses “3 Idiots” Tamil Remake
The film ‘3 Idiots’ topped the box office, and many a filmmaker was keen to buy the rights of this flick with the intention of remaking it in South India. Gemini Film Circuit now owns the copyrights to make ‘3 Idiots’ in Tamil and Telugu. While actor Vijay has already been roped in to play the lead role, it has been heard that the first choice of the female lead was Katrina Kaif.
We’re told, “Katrina was offered the movie in spite of Kareena playing the female lead in the original. However, she had date problems and couldn’t fit the assignment in her schedule. Also with her doing big banner Hindi films, her priority will be Hindi films for the time being, although she would like to try different things and keep her options open.
” Wonder whom the filmmakers will approach next? Will it be yet another Bollywood hottie, we wonder.

Katrina Kaif Will Be Playing Madhubala
After playing a quasi-biographical character in Raajneeti, Katrina Kaif is set to play a real-life character – Madhubala. Katrina will reprise the legendary actress’ role in the Kishore Kumar biopic to be directed by Anurag Basu. Katrina was finalised for the project after she opted out of Basu’s other film, Silence, in which she was to co-star with Priyanka Chopra and Ranbir Kapoor.
A source says, “Katrina couldn’t do two back-to-back projects with Anurag Basu and Ranbir Kapoor. So she picked the biopic on Kishore Kumar in which she will play Madhubala.”
While she was considering her option back then. Katrina had said, “If I do another film with Ranbir, I’d want it to be a full-fledged commercial love story.” And it can’t get any more mainstream and romantic than the Kishore Kumar-Madhubala saga.
In fact, the actress has already begun doing her homework for the role and watched Mughal-e-Azam, Mahal and Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi.
While Katrina chose not to reply, Anurag says guardedly, “I think it’s a little early to talk about it. I still haven’t got the principal cast of my current project, Silence, in place. But yes, Katrina is someone I am very, very fond of…for her looks, talent and nature.
I am definitely working with her, if not in Silence, then in my next film.” One of the song sequences from Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi that Anurag Basu’s film will be looking to recreate is the Kishore-Madhubala song Ek ladki bheegi bhaagi si.
