Lucknow, May 17: Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif today said that she opted to play a different role in Prakash Jha’s ‘Raajneeti’, wherein she portrays a politician, to break the image of being only a glamour girl.
When asked why she took up this film, after starring mostly in romantic films and comedies, Katrina said, “I wanted to do something different and ‘Raajneeti’ offered this chance.
My role in this movie is very different.”
The 25-year-old actress was in the city alongwith actors Ajay Devgan and Manoj Bajpai and director Prakash Jha to promote the film which is set to hit theatres on June 4.
“This movie is inspired by the political scenario of today’s world,” Jha told reporters.
The film maker said that he believed that politics was everywhere and in every relation, when somebody wants others to act according to his wish.
