After having had her track cut out of Bachna Ae Haseeno, Katrina Kaif has signed two films in quick succession opposite Ranbir Kapoor.

After Raj Kumar Santoshi’s Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani, it is Prakash Jha’s Rajneeti. In this political thriller, which also stars Ajay Devgan and Manoj Bajpai, Katrina will be seen as Ranbir’s love interest.

New experience

This will be a novel experience for the two actors as Prakash Jha is known for his raw political thrillers. The director says, “I needed an actress who’d look convincing as an intelligent, modern, cultured girl of today. Katrina fit the bill perfectly.
