Katrina Kaif to be the leading lady in Shah Rukh Khan-Rohit Shetty's 'Dilwale'
After speculations were rife that Kajol has been roped in to play the leading lady, we now hear it's Katrina who has bagged the role.
Rohit Shetty's next with Shah Rukh Khan has been in news for the longest time. With speculations and conjectures doing the rounds about the film's cast, the title and everything else, it's now final that Katrina Kaif will be the leading lady in the film, which is now titled 'Dilwale'.
While rumours were doing the rounds about Kajol being roped in for the film, now it's confirmed that it will be Kat who will be playing heroine to Shah Rukh's character in the film. SRK and Katrina were previously seen together in Yash Chopra's swan song 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan'. Katrina has joined the cast which already has SRK, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon in it.
There have also been talks of the film being a remake of 'Hum', 'Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi' and 'Angoor' but Rohit has openly confirmed that his film is not a remake. Rather, its an original script written by Sajid-Farhad. Also, it's learnt that Rohit has tentatively titled his film Dilwale. Now that might remind you of SRK's DDLJ and even Ajay Devgn's film of the same name. Given that Ajay and Rohit are best buddies, even the copyright issues for the title have been worked out.
The film is slated to go on floors in March.
