Katrina Kaif in 'Puli'

It is well aware that the shooting of 'Puli' was postponed due to the accident occurred to its director SJ Surya during the shooting of a Tamil film.

The Pawan Kalyan-starrer, Puli, produced by Singanamala Ramesh on the banner of Sri Kanakaratna Movies is likely to go to sets in July.

Though Parvati Melton was selected as the second heroine of the movie, the selection of main heroine is yet to be done. It is worth mentioning here that Karina Kapoor and Priyanka were first contacted for the heroine slot but they expressed their inability as they were otherwise busy in Hindi films.

Later, Sneha Ullal, a look alike of Aiswarya was contacted and the name of Hansika was also under consideration.

Now gossips are doing rounds in Film Nagar circles that the unit is planning to rope in Katrina Kaif as heroine. It is learnt that Pawan Kalyan personally spoke to Katrina Kaif and offered her the chance but the latter did not assure him anything immediately.

Singh is Kingh movie trailer

Singh is Kinng - Preview

Singh Is Kinng,the most keenly awaited romantic comedy of 2008, revolves around a gang of crooks transformed by a good man and his selfless love for a pretty girl...

Lakhan Singh aka Lucky (Sonu Sood) is the 'king' of the Australian underworld accompanied by his associates (played by Javed Jaffrey, Neha Dhupia, Manoj Pahwa, Yashpal Sharma, Kamal Chopra and Sudhanshu Pande.) Far away, in a small village in Punjab, where Lucky was born, there exists someone more notorious than him - Happy Singh (Akshay Kumar). The village is fed up of his magnanimity, which has resulted in a number of hilariously disastrous situations. Out of desperation, they decide to send him on a long trip (that will keep him out of the village for a while!) to bring Lucky back to Punjab, as his despicable deeds were maligning their image in Australia.
The happy-go-lucky bumpkin, taking his mission a bit too seriously, embarks on his journey accompanied by his friend, Tony Singh (Om Puri), who hates Happy for dragging him into it.

The high point of his journey is his chance meeting with Sonia (Katrina Kaif) with whom he falls in love, but upon reaching his destination, things take a precarious turn as he runs into a series of comic misadventures, leaving him penniless. He is fortunate to find warmth and affection in an elderly lady (Kirron Kher) who helps him meet Lucky.

In a strange turn of events, an attempt on Lucky's life is foiled by a well-intentioned Happy who fights off the attackers by risking his own life. Following the hilarious altercation, Lucky lands up in hospital paralyzed, and Happy, unexpectedly, finds the tables turned on him when he is expected to assume the role of the new 'kinng'!

The series of chaos, shocks and comic misunderstandings that ensue eventually result in redemption and an accidental wedding!

Shot in Punjab, Australia and Egypt, Singh Is Kinng marks superstar Akshay Kumar's re-entry into the action-comedy minefield. With plenty of romance, glamour, laugh-aloud moments and chartbusting music, it promises to be one of the most appealing and entertaining motion pictures of 2008.

The actress on being voted the sexiest woman and her forthcoming release Singh is Kinng

So FHM says you’re the sexiest woman in the world.

It was a very sweet thing. Your supporters and fans show you how much they like you. So it’s very special.

Has it deepened your faith in online polls?

Oh no no! These things are not to be taken very seriously. You accept it and feel good but there’s no need to go over the top.

You’re the most searched Indian celebrity on the web. Who do you google?

It’s nice to know that people want to know more about you, check out your releases etc. I google whenever I want information like the name of a place or a medicine.

Does fame affect your everyday life?

Only sometimes when you’re low and want to hide in a corner. We work for acknowledgement and that gives you a nice feeling.

You’ve had five hits. What was the most difficult point in your career?

I took small steps to find where I wanted to go, not get to the top and not know where to go.

You’re one of Bollywood’s biggest celebs, but you seem to stay so down to earth. How?

One shouldn’t take all this too seriously. You’re on the top one day and down another day so enjoy it and have fun.

Singh is Kinng is around the corner. Tell us about it.

A fun film. It shows a different kind of chemistry. Hopefully audiences will like it.

Ah ha! You and Akshay again...

Yes, well it’s something audiences like. I hope we can continue to entertain people.

Any career ambitions—award, actors you’d like to work with, roles to play?

All of us want good scripts, good films.

If not acting, what would you love to master?

Our profession is so hectic that in my free time I just want to chill, watch a film.

Katrina says 'no' to Kat fights

Being linked with Akshay Kumar has upset Katrina Kaif for a while now. The latest rumour doing the rounds is that Akshay refused to answer her calls in Bangkok, when the duo attended the IIFA awards. This time, Katrina has refused to keep quiet.
She not only rubbished the reports but also released a press statement to end the controversy.
"People need to stop imagining so much," Katrina said in the statement. "This is pure imagination on someone's part. Akshay came in for the show in the night and left immediately as he had a flight to catch. "I had dinner with Twinkle and her friends. My mother was with me as well. So what is with these stories?" she asked.

Katrina Kaif's popularity hits the web

Katrina Kaif has arrived. Not only has she scored five consecutive hits at the box office, she has also scored a huge hit in the cyber world.

She has become the most searched female celebrity on the internet in terms of picture downloads, stripping former Miss World Aishwarya Rai Bachchan of that title by a huge margin.

And that’s not all. According to a recent study commissioned by a global provider of mobile content, Katrina has also been declared the most popular face on mobile screens.

Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, Lara Dutta and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are the others who feature in the top five.

So what makes Katrina queen of cyber world? The opinions are many and varied.

Photographer Atul Kasbekar, who takes credit for ‘discovering’ Katrina, feels it’s her looks.

Ad guru Prahlad Kakkar concurs. “She is new, young and has delivered not very big but average hits, and that’s made her popular.” And he has more to add. “Though she is neither a good actress nor a good dancer, she is attractive and watchable. She looks clean and healthy,” he says.

VJ Cyrus Sahukar thinks it’s her personality. “Kat is taller than Aishwarya, which adds to her towering personality,” he says tongue-in-cheek.

Ace lensman Dabboo Ratnani feels the lady is not only photogenic but has had her share of good luck, too. “She’s picked the right films and that’s one of the prime reasons behind this survey,” he says.

Katrina Kaif’s a Rock Star

Katrina Kaif has not just been rocking the industry with five back to back hits, she’s also rocking the IPL scene!

Sanjay Gupta, who directed her recently, has a lot to say about the IPL film that he has shot for Vijay Mallya with Kat. “I wanted to project Katrina as a rock star. When Mallya asked me whom I wanted to work with, I said Katrina. She’s had the hits so far. But she hasn’t been projected correctly as a diva. I explained to Katrina that I wanted to present her as a rock star like Annie Lennox!”

And two singers, Aanchal and Sophie Chowdhry, sang Jeetenge Hum Shaan Se for Katrina. “Shaan is the first word that comes to mind when we speak about Vijay Mallya. Katrina was barrels of fun to work with. She pulled a prank on me that had me sh***ing bricks. My assistant came to me and told me Katrina had fainted due to the heat. I immediately swallowed it. But she was back. She’s a thorough professional and a true rock star to work with.”

Katrina Kaif acts difficult?

Katrina Kaif, Akshay Kumar and Vipul Shah are a winning combination after Namastey London . The three come together once again in Singh Is Kinng , a Vipul Shah produced and Anees Bazmee directed flick. May be that's why when Vipul Shah decided to direct London Dreams , it seemed like he would cast his fave actors – Akki and Kat – together once again! However, that was not to be.

As the shooting of Vipul's Singh Is King completes its last schedule in Egypt, Vipul has already started focusing his energy on London Dreamz . Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan have already been roped into this one, and there were talks that Katrina walked out of the project to re-allot her dates for a Yashraj film. Vipul retorts, "I don't know where these rumours stem from. I made it clear that I wanted a new face for London Dreamz and Katrina is not part of it."

Katrina's business manager Sandhya corroborates "No Katrina has not been signed for London Dreamz as at the same time she will be shooting for Yash Raj's next that will be directed by Kabeer Khan."

According to Vipul, he has already signed a new girl for London Dreamz . "After a lot of search finally I managed to get a face which I was looking for London Dreamz . She is from London itself. I will not disclose anything more than this at this point." says Vipul.

So let's wait and watch which newbie will 'dream' big now!
