Imran Khan, Kangana Ranaut team up for ‘Katti Batti’

Imran Khan and Kangana Ranaut will romance in director Nikhil Advani’s next ‘Katti Batti’.

Produced by UTV Motion Pictures, Katti Batti is a new generation love story.

Confirming the news, Nikhil said, “I am elated by this casting combination as it is a dream to work with Kangana. Her body of work has not dulled her ability to bring humility to her craft. Imran is drawing from new personal experiences and emotions and brings with him a fresh approach,”

Kangana released a statement to press as saying, “Writers have used elements like the battle of the sexes, issues of urban couples, expanded truth and non-linear narrative. We have UTV as the producers and I have worked with them in ‘Fashion’ and ‘Life in a Metro’, two of my most memorable films.”

In his response Imran said, “My last outing with UTV was ‘Delhi Belly’ and we have worked together on many films like ‘Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’, ‘I Hate Luv Storys’ and ‘Ek Main aur Ekk Tu’. We hope to recreate the magic with ‘Katti Batti’. Nikhil is a great story teller and Kangana is one of the finest actors of our generation.”

Managing Director of UTV- Disney India, Siddharth Roy Kapur said, “It’s a most unusual love story steeped in the culture and language of today’s relationships. We wanted to make sure that the script gets the right director and cast. We are thrilled to have Nikhil, Imran and Kangana on board for the film.”

The shooting will start from later this year and will be released in 2015.
