Rekha–Katrina Kaif bond in Kashmir

Every actress from the newer generation idolises Rekha. Katrina Kaif is no exception. The two actresses who come together for the first time in Abhishek Kapoor's Fitoor are now on a firm footing.

The usually-reserved Katrina never known to gang up with any of her female co-stars (Katrina has a reputation for hanging out on the sets with her male co-stars) seems to have warmed up to Rekha in the freezing cold of Srinagar

Says a source from Kashmir, "The two of them were constantly chatting. Katrina seemed to be collecting gyan from Rekha all through the schedule." Rekha says she has known Katrina from the time the younger actress dated Salman Khan. Says Rekha, "Katrina's someone I've known from the time she'd drop in to meet Salman who is my neighbour." About the director Abhishek Kapoor, the diva says, "He is a very talented boy. I am looking forward to seeing how he has interpreted the original novel (Charles Dickens' Great Expectations). I've done a screen adaptation like Khoon Bhari Maang before. It will be interesting to see where the director takes this adaptation."

Rekha plays a character called Hazrat. The character exists in two time zones, in the 1970s and the present time. Aditi Rao plays Rekha's character in the 1970s.
