Katrina Kaif: I’m not doing ‘Force 2’
The actress says her next film is ‘Jagga Jasoos’
Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif has denied that she would team up with
co-star John Abraham in the upcoming sequel of hit 2011 film Force.
Kaif was reportedly being sought by producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah for the female lead in the action film, which will be directed by Abhinay Deo.
The original film starred actress Genelia Deshmukh.
“Reports about me doing the film opposite John are not true. There is nothing like Force 2 happening. The next film I would be working on is Anurag Basu’s film Jagga Jasoos,” Kaif said.
The Dhoom 3 star said she has her hands full with three back-to-back films: Fitoor, Jagga Jasoos and a Karan Johar production directed by Nitya Mehra.
“After Jagga Jasoos, I will be doing Nitya’s film which is being produced by Excel Entertainment and Karan Johar. We should be wrapping up principal shoot of Jagga Jasoos by this August.”
The Bang Bang! actress stars opposite Aditya Roy Kapoor in Abhishek Kapoor’s Fitoor.
“Fitoor is shaping up well. We will be wrapping up the shoot in about three weeks. It has been pretty much startto-finish job because I have coloured my hair red for the film so the continuity was needed. It is nice to shoot a film in succession. I am hoping we wrap it on time and get a good release date,” Kaif said.
The romantic drama film is based on the Charles Dickens novel Great Expectations and also stars veteran actress Rekha.
Kaif is happy to be a part of the movie as she finds her character interesting and feels she can portray it with conviction. “I relate to a lot of things about my character. She is in denial of many things. She does not really know herself. She is also trained to think a certain way.
“Sometimes it happens you start living a certain way without even knowing if it is the right thing. It is a very interesting character and Abhishek has a very different take on it. I think I can understand this person and convey her across,” the actress said. — PTI
