Katrina Kaif Reveals Why Title Of Film With Shah Rukh Khan Had To Be Changed

New Delhi: Katrina Kaif and Shah Rukh Khan will share screen space once again in Aanand L Rai's yet-untitled new film and have begun shooting already. Info like Shah Rukh will play a dwarf and that the movie is going to be VFX-heavy have garnered massive interest about the project and fans just can't wait for the title to be revealed. Title nahi toh kya, initial title bhi chalega. In an interview with DNA, Katrina Kaif revealed what the movie was "originally" titled and how that sort of became a source of trouble for her. "It was originally titled 'Katrina Meri Jaan', which is probably why people keep asking me if I'm playing myself in the film," she told DNA.

Katrina said the director was in talks with her about the movie for the past two years and now, she's signed the dotted line. Talking about what actually got her interested in the project, she said it wasn't the VFX or the film's setting that got her on board: "It's a very different film now since there have been a lot of changes in it. Aanand sir is one of the finest directors we have and I believe in him."

"He really pushed me and fought for it. So I felt that if someone's fighting so much for it and has that much belief, then let's see where we go together," she added.

Earlier this year, the director said he was hoping to ready the film by the end of 2018 and that the title will be announced soon: "I will take another year and a half. We are targeting 2018 December. Nothing has been decided yet but we will announce the title very soon," he told IANS.

In the movie, Shah Rukh plays the role of a "vertically challenged" character while Anushka Sharma also joins the cast - nothing about Katrina or Anushka's roles are known yet.

Currently, Katrina Kaif is looking forward to the release of Tiger Zinda Hai, which is scheduled for December 22. Both Shah Rukh and Anushka were last seen in this year's Jab Harry Met Sejal.
