Prakash postponed Raajneeti Celebration Party due to absence of Katrina kaif

Katrina Kaif News: Katrina Kaif’s plans to fly down to Mumbai for a day to celebrate the Raajneeti success on June 23 from Spain where she is shooting for Zoya Akhtar’s Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara have been dropped.

Apparently inclement weather has made it impossible for her to be let off for even a day. Setting aside her habitual work-comes-first-party-later attitude she even requested the film’s producers and director to accommodate her absence for less than a day.

Says a source close to Katrina, “Since Prakash Jha was very very keen to have her down to Mumbai for the bash, and had even made all the arrangements for her flight, Katrina was not willing to give up the idea of attending the function.

She offered to be back in less than 24 hours. Katrina was willing to fly to Mumbai, attend the Raajneeti bash on Wednesday and fly out quickly the same night to re-join the Dobara team the next morning. But she is not allowed.”

The Raajneeti team has a lot to celebrate about. But Prakash Jha wanted no celebration until his lucky mascot Katrina Kaif was available. Unfortunatley Zoya Akhtar’s crew has been facing rough weather ever since they arrived in Spain. Apparently 6 days of shooting had to be cancelled because of heavy rains. And now they need to make up for lost time quickly since their work permits and visas would expire.

Prakash Jha admits that Katrina would be unable to make it to the Raajneeti celebration party on June 23. “They’ve lost a lot of time because of the rain in Spain. I couldn’t dream of having a Raajneeti bash without Katrina. And I had postponed it until her availability. But now it’s impossible for Katrina to fly down.”

Prakash will now record a video message with Katrina and play it at the party. “So she will be with us in spirit if not in person,” he smirks.

Katrina on the other hand tried to sound diplomatic and not disappointed. “It is a big day. And the success of Raajneeti is very precious to me. But I can’t leave the crew in Spain.”

She admits there are lots of unscheduled breaks. Katrina has got one of her sisters, Melissa, to join her in Spain to give her company at break time. Says Katrina, “London is just two hours, so Melissa could join me. Mumbai is in another hemisphere. Flying down is impossible. Please tell Prakashji, Mera party baqi raha.”

Katrina Kaif's Raajneeti by Prakash Jha: From glamorous Actor to starched cotton saris

Katrina Kaif News: Katrina Kaif, the sweet faced cute Barbie  doll, who has always been glamoured up in her films, has suddenly come up in this de-glamorized role, adding a mystic factor to the recently released flick ‘Rajneeti’, by Prakash Jha.

Now, whether these moves to the glamorize the most glamorous actor of bollywood was a strategic step by the director Prakash Jha, Rajneeti applied ,or was it the demand of his script is an issue, which can be debated for days at a stretch.

However, the effort that the filmmaker has put in to make the movie commercially viable is evident right from the first scene in it.

Katrina Kaif, who has been the constantly lucky star at the box office, ever since her first commercially successful flick ‘Namaste London’, with Akshay Kumar, has been a constant attraction in most of her subsequent releases.

Most producers who had cast her wanted to make the most of her popularity quotient, and many started signing films with her just to get their cash registers ringing.

Nevertheless, director Prakash Jha who is known for his penchant for more serious issues, surprised most with his choice of his female lead, especially Katrina, as her, playing a serious politician was beyond anyone’s imagination.

But, now, that the flick has crossed and broken records of ‘Houseful’ and ‘kites’, in the opening weekend, has proved that making Katrina switch, from the flowery dresses to the starched cotton sari, is indeed a very successful bait put in by the director, which the audiences bit with a mouthful!

Katrina Kaif getting her tongue round chaste hindi words in the long Political Speech!

Katrina Kaif News: For an actress like Katrina Kaif getting her tongue round chaste Hindi words in the long political speech in the latest release Raajneeti wasn’t a cakewalk. With her progressively thinning though yet-not-gone anglicised accent, the actress unwittingly ended up garbling some of the Hindi words during her dubbing.

Once such word was ‘Satta’, which means politics. After the film’s post production was over, Katrina discovered to her horror that she had mistakenly pronounced the word ‘satta’ as ‘satya’ (truth) in one of her speeches.

Given the fact that the film was ready for release and Kat herself had little time on her hands, it was virtually impossible to rectify the error. But then, a natural calamity intervened. Coincidentally, Katrina’s planned family trip to London got cancelled because of the ash cloud over Europe due to the volcanic eruption in Iceland.

Instead of resting and relaxing, Katrina decided to use the free time to redub her dialogues in Raajneeti. Though Jha was already satisfied with her dubbing, Katrina insisting on improvising and correcting the mistake, even if it meant footing the bill of redubbing from her own pocket.

Well, that’s the perfectionist streak.
