MUMBAI:After clutter breaking and iconic films like Dev D, A Wednesday,
Barfi!, Kai Po Che and numerous others,UTV Motion Pictures now is looking at bringing a unique love story about new age relationships and breaking up
and making up in the world of today, the sort
of contemporary romantic relationship never
before seen on Indian celluloid - Katti Batti !
The film will be directed by Nikhil Advani and
will bring together the eclectic pairing of
actors Imran Khan and Kangana Ranaut.
Katti Batti is an unusual love story with a
twist, and has been creatively developed and
driven by UTV Motion Pictures from its
inception. UTV’s creative team first spotted the
potential in Katti Batti’s script by first time
writer Anshul Singhal. Then began the search
for a director who could bring the same
passion to the film, a search which ended with
Nikhil Advani coming on board. UTV, Nikhil
and Anshul have honed and polished the script
for the past year to make it one of the most
zany and heartwarming love stories in
contemporary Hindi cinema.
"We are very excited to be taking our creative
journey on Katti Batti to the next phase. It is a
most unusual love story steeped in the culture
and language of today's relationships. We
wanted to make sure that the script gets the
right director at the helm and a cast that can
justify the two incredibly real, funny and
layered lead characters. Our creative team
steered the entire project through wonderfully
and we are thrilled to have Nikhil, Imran and
Kangana on board for the film. We couldn't
have asked for a better director and cast for
the film," said Disney India managing director
Siddharth Roy Kapur.
Advani added, "UTV spotted a gem of a script
with Katti Batti and it was critical that it got
the cast that justified it! Am personally elated
by this casting combination as it is a dream to
work with Kangana - her body of work has not
dulled her ability to bring humility to her
craft. Imran on the other hand is drawing
from new personal experiences and emotions
and brings with him as well, a fresh approach."
Actor Imran Khan, who will be essaying the
role of Maddy, said, "I have always wished to
be a part of films that make me proud as an
actor. Katti Batti will be one such film. My last
outing with UTV gave the audiences Delhi
Belly , and we have worked together in the past
on many successful films like Jaane Tu Ya Jaane
Na, I Hate Luv Storys and Ek Main aur Ekk Tu .
Now we hope to recreate the magic with Katti
Batti. Nikhil Advani is a great story teller and
Kangana is one of the finest actors of our
generation. I am eagerly waiting to kickstart
the film!" Movies > Hindi | Indian Television Dot Com
