It was bound to happen sooner or later.
Katrina Kaif, who is being given the credit for pulling off
Farah Khan's Tees Maar Khan to whatever degree the film worked and is currently seen as being as solid as a hero at the box office, is being considered for a double role in a forthcoming film.
A trade guru says, "This is an age-old Bollywood tradition. When
Hema Malini was at her peak
Ramesh Sippy made Seeta Aur Geeta with her. Likewise when Sridevi was riding a crest of popularity,
Pankuj Parasher made Chaalbaaz with her. Now, since
Kat is the
golden girl of Bollywood, a film corporation that has bought the rights for
Seeta Aur Geeta is wanting to make a new version of this film with Katrina."
Kat refuses to comment on the subject. But our sources tell us, "The plan to make a film that has
Katrina in a double role is definitely on. There is speculation that Dibakar Banerjee (Khosla Ka Ghosla, Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, Love Sex Aur Dhoka) may be asked to direct it. A couple of other high-profile director names are also being floated. However, nothing is final yet. They also need two leading men for the film. At best, this project can be described as a work-in-progress." Perhaps, that's why
Kat is silent.
