It’s a departure in every which way for this Bollywood actress on the ascendant. She is playing a deglamorised politician and the Hindi has to be perfect too, but Britain born Katrina Kaif says her role in Rajneeti excites her more because she is now comfortable with the language.

Katrina, who has delivered a string of hits playing the urban hip young woman, gets a makeover in Prakash Jha’s Rajneeti. Dressed in cotton saris and speaking chaste Hindi, this is a challenging role that she’s looking forward to. But the Hindi is passe now for the actress, whose accented Hindi meant that her many early films had to be dubbed.

Enough is enough! Katrina Kaif is done playing the simpering glam doll who does little than flash her smile, romance the hero and dance around in pretty togs. Post the success of New York, which had her showing flashes her acting potential, the gal’s digging for meaty roles.

Little surprise then that she’s having second thoughts about doing Abbas-Mastan’s Hindi adaptation of ‘The Italian Job’. After showing interest in the film, Katrina is rumoured to be reluctant to give her nod because the script doesn’t give her much footage. Unwilling to play an eye-candy anymore, the actress has reportedly asked the makers to flesh out her role better.

Katrina Kaif is reconsidering taking on Abbas Mustan’s remake of ‘The Italian Job’. This is because her role is apparently rather unimportant.

Katrina is having second thoughts about the film since she read the script, even though she readily agreed at first. According to sources, since she started giving hits, she has become picky about her roles and won’t sign on anything just because it has big names. She also doesn’t want to sign on the film because she believes her role has no scope.

Katrina Kaif’s movies continue to work wonders at the Box Office, so she has turned choosy. She is having second thought about working in director Abbas Mustan’s remake of ‘The Italian Job’ as she doesn’t have a plum role in the project. Initially, she had agreed to do the film but after going through the script, she realized that the role doesn’t suit her. Meanwhile, another cause of worry for the actress is the change of male lead in the film. Since Saif Ali Khan has opted out of the project, Kat’s interest has also diminished, it’s learnt. Incidentally, Sonam Kapoor replaces Katrina Kaif in Farha Khan’s ‘Teen Murti’. Since Farah and Anil Kapoor go back a long way, it seemed logical for Sonam to step into Farah’s domain, especially since she and Akshay have been keen on working together.

Katrina Kaif, much known for her romantic comedies in the past is now said to be lean towards issue-based films these days.

Rumors are ripe that the actress even has expressed her desire to work with director Madhur Bhandarkar who is known for making such type of movies.

Another reason for such desire may be that lead actresses in his films are almost keen to bag awards.

Katrina however has rubbished saying that she is too busy with her upcoming film Rajneeti and also denied contacting Madhur Bhandarkar.

Katrina Kaif, who gave numerous hits, last year, has just one film for 2010. And the fact that her competitors Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor have many films lined up for release is giving her sleepless nights. According to sources, while Katrina has mostly done romantic comedies in the past, she will be entering a new territory this year with Prakash Jha’s Raajneeti. She now wants to do more films that are issue-based, like the ones that Madhur Bhandarkar makes. She has expressed her desire to even work with Bhandarkar, as the lead actresses in his films always win awards.
