Ranbir Kapoor parties without Katrina but hides from cameras

Highlights

• Actor Ranbir Kapoor is usually one of the most camera-friendly stars around so we were more than a little surprised to see him hiding behind his iPad at filmmaker Karan Johar's dinner party in Mumbai on February 10. Ranbir, who also hid his hair under a hat, was careful not to let the assembled photographers catch a glimpse at his face despite the absence of rumoured girlfriend Katrina Kaif who is reportedly in Shimla shooting for her film Bang Bang.
• His fellow guests, actor Arjun Kapoor and director Ayan Mukherji, had no problems being photographed. Arjun, who has a big release coming up this week in Gunday, was spiffy in blue shirt and dark jacket. Ayan, who directed Ranbir in Wake Up Sid and Yeh Kawani Hai Deewani, wore a Jimi Hendrix T-shirt.
• The party, held at Karan Johar's Bandra home, was ostensibly held to celebrate the success of Dharma Productions' latest offering Hasee Toh Phasee but the absence - at least on camera - of the film's stars Parineeti Chopra and Sidharth Malhotra leads us to believe there was more to the evening than met the eye.
• We have a feeling that Ranbir and Ayan may actually have dropped by to talk shop with KJo. With Hrithik-Kareena's Shuddhi now on the backburner, Dharma Productions does need another big ticket project - reason enough to be eyeing another prospective mega hit from the Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani team of Ranbir and Ayan.
• An announcement in the offing? We wouldn't be surprised.
