Katrina Kaif is the hero in 'Rajneeti 2',while Ranbir opts out.
It seems after the recent spate of women-centric films that was fuelled by Vidya Balan every actress wants to be the "hero" of their film.Vidya Balan's The Dirty Picture & Kahaani, Kareena's Heroine,Sridevi's English Vinglish,Rani Mukherjee's Aiyaa & Preity Zinta's Ishkq in Paris is testimony to the recent wave of female-centric Bollywood films.Cashing in on the trend is Katrina Kaif, not the actress you'd normally associate with the term "woman-centric film."
The sequel to Prakash Jha's 2010 blockbuster Rajneeti is happening and this time around, Katrina Kaif will take centre-stage as the queen sized politician.In Rajneeti 2 the entire story is woven around Katrina's character, Indu. Part two will chronicle her rise to power and her subsequent descent to a megalomaniac whose self-serving politics ultimately destroy her.
However, those hoping to see Ranbir-Katrina coming together again in the sequel are in for a disappointment. It is learnt Ranbir has opted out, apparently because he wasn't too kicked about playing side-kick to Katrina in what would be predominantly her film.
Prakash Jha confirmed the development and added, "It is very challenging to take the Raajneeti story forward. Most of the main characters are dead. Two-thirds of the characters will be completely new. Katrina will have a central role. And though Ranbir's character didn't die at the end of Rajneeti, he won't be part of Rajneeti 2. Again, I will be doing a spin on the Mahabharat, though this time, it will be different."
