Imran Khan compares Katrina Kaif to Aamir Khan

Actor Imran Khan, who recently tasted success with his superhit adult comedy Delhi Belly, is all geared up for another release this September, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan co-starring Katrina Kaif.

Imran Khan showered praises on Katrina Kaif and is quoted as saying by the agencies: “Katrina inspires me a lot…The way she works on her scene, her dialogues, her dance, her body, her fitness, the kind of energy she has and the kind of effort she puts in is more than any other co-star that I have worked with. It’s honestly more than my level of dedication too. It’s quite close to Aamir’s dedication.”

Imran Khan also talked about Mere Brother Ki Dulhan and said that though Delhi Belly was a hit, MBKD is also a very important film for him! He feels that an actor is as good as his last movie! Even the biggest of Bollywood stars feel the pressure of delivering their best in each movie! He further spoke about his character in Mere Brother Ki Dulhan and said: “This character is not very heroic. He is a simple Dehradun boy next door, very relatable. He wears simple jeans, check shirt, nothing fancy about him. He is a normal guy.”

Well, looks like Katrina Kaif has added another fan to her endless fan list! And we hope that the rumongers do not start speculating something fishy between Imran and Kat… We hope….

Imran signed 'Mere Brother Ki Dulhan' because of mom

Yeah, it may sound amusing but that's how Imran Khan landed up in Yash Raj Films' forthcoming rom com 'Mere Brother Ki Dulhan' (MBKD). Read on to find out the whole story...

In an interview to media, Imran revealed that initially he was least interested in the project. In fact it was on producer Aditya Chopra's insistence the actor met Ali Abbas Zafar, who makes his directorial with this one. When he met the director and heard the movie's title, Imran thought how horrible it is but remained silent about it. He was not even happy with the story outline of a guy searching a girl for his brother and then himself falling in love with her. Imran had found that also to be bad, still he didn�t tell Ali anything, instead said he will get back to him.

While Imran had not read MBKD's script, his mom (Aamir Khan's sister) had gone through it and it was she who asked him to take the movie. "I did not read the script, but my mom found the script and read it. She called me and told me that I should read the script and do this film because it is hilarious. So I read it, I loved it and finally decided to do it. His script just won me over. Initially I was not doing it, but now I'm so glad that I did it," quoted the young handsome Khan.

Well, even we are glad you took it, Imu.... Hope the MBKD's box office collections don�t disappoint you as well and the movie hits the bull�s eye.

Starring Katrina Kaif and Pakistani actor-singer Ali Zafar along with Imran, 'MBKD' hits the screens on 9th September, 2011.

Katrina will prove her critics wrong: Imran

Actor Imran Khan is not just smitten by the beauty of Katrina Kaif, but by her hardwork and dedication too, after working with her in "Mere Brother Ki Dulhan".


"I think this film will do very good things for her. We have often heard that she is just a pretty face and she can`t act. But with this film, Katrina is going to prove all of them wrong," Imran told IANS.

"Mere Brother Ki Dulhan" is a romantic comedy from the Yash Raj Films stable, and Imran says he enjoyed working on it.

"It was fun working with Katrina. I was very impressed with her. She is an incredibly hard working girl. For someone who hasn`t known the language (Hindi), the way she has worked on that and the way she delivers her dialogues now is incredible," Imran said.

Katrina, Imran & crew had big wrap up party for Mere Brother Ki Dulhan

Katrina Kaif has discovered a new friend to party with. She feels extremely comfortable with Imran Khan as a pal and co-star and as ideal husband to his wife Avantika. Last week, Katrina partied till the wee hours on Thursday night with Imran before driving straight from the party to the airport in the next morning to catch a flight to Bangkok.

Says a source close to Katrina, "Katrina is in a space where she's content being on her own, because she has two back-to-back Yash Raj Films to shoot this year. The last thing she wants is any distraction. On Thursday night when Ranbir threw open his bungalow for his friends for a party, Katrina was hurriedly wrapping up the last day's shoot for Mere Brother Ki Dulhan."

Very late into the night when the last shot was done Imran and the director decided on an impromptu wrap-up party.

Says the source, "Katrina begged off since she had an early-morning flight to catch for Bangkok to shoot an ad. But when Imran insisted, Katrina didn't want to be a party-pooper. What was meant to be just a brief wrap-up party went on till the morning. Katrina had no time to go home. She drove straight to the airport to catch her flight to Bangkok."

Yawning unabashedly in Bangkok on Friday morning, Katrina said, "Yes we did a have a wrap-up party. We had a super-time. Mere Brother Ki Dulhan has been one of the most fun films I've shot. Me, Imran, Ali Zafar, the director Ali Abbas Zafar everyone was like one a big family. So when they suggested a wrap-up celebration, I couldn't resist it."

When asked why she skipped Ranbir's party, Katrina shoots back. "When I was having so much with my Mere Brother ... crew why would I want to be anywhere else for a party? I am at a stage in my career where I've to find the fun zone within my work schedule."

Interestingly, Katrina goes into two back-to-back Yash Raj films this year. First Kabir Khan's Ek Tha Tiger with Salman and then Yash Chopra's directorial venture with Shah Rukh Khan.

"You're forgetting, I've just completed another Yash Raj Film Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. So its three Yash Raj films in a row for me. This year is devoted to them," Katrina quips.

Yashraj bets on Imran Khan

It’s been barely three years since his debut, Jaane Tu.. Ya Jaane Naa catapulted him to stardom. And Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, his first outing with Yash Raj Films (YRF), is yet to reach the cinemas.

But it seems that actor Imran Khan, would’ve become the new blue-eyed boy
related stories of the Chopras. Producer Aditya Chopra has offered the actor five scripts, including one he’s written himself, to choose from for his next film with them.

A crewmember with YRF says Aditya is extremely pleased with Khan’s performance in Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. “Having also seen Imran’s performance in I Hate Luv Storys (2010) previously, Adi feels he should further consolidate his position in romcoms,” says the crewmember, adding, “That’s why he has given Imran five scripts, including one authored by him, to pick as his next film with YRF.”

Years ago, when Aditya started on his path to become the Czar of YRF with Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge (1995), his directorial debut’s unprecedented success turned Shah Rukh Khan into Bollywood’s first major star overseas. “It seems that after SRK, Aditya is backing Imran the most from among his contemporaries,” points the source.

On his part, Khan concedes that he’s still very new to the industry with only a handful of films to his credit. At the same time, he admits, “Adi is someone I look up to and take advice from. Karan (Johar) is also someone whom I’m extremely close to.”

Shrugging off being heralded as the prince of romance, the actor maintains, “I don’t know about being anyone’s blue eyed-boy, but it does feel good when my work is appreciated and filmmakers show confidence in me.”

Khan adds that this confidence helps him work harder to live up to expectations. As for being given the liberty by the Chopras to choose from many scripts, he says, “When they think I suit the character in their scripts and can deliver performances, the actor in me is fuelled by enthusiasm.”

Khan’s closest competitor, friend and actor Ranbir Kapoor, on the other hand is only doing Ayan Mukherjee’s film for Johar’s Dharma Productions, besides exploring diverse genres with films like Imtiaz Ali’s Rockstar, Anurag Basu’s Barfee and a biopic on Kishore Kumar.

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan is a comedy of errors: Imran Khan

Imran Khan is presently shooting for Yash Raj Films’ Mere Brother Ki Dulhan and is very charged about the film, which is set in Dehradun, Delhi and Agra.

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan is a romantic comedy, and has Imran playing a upper middle-class boy from Dehradun. The actor said that he is having a ball shooting there as he is discovering North India.

“It is the first time that I am getting a chance to explore the city and I am enjoying the experience. The best part is the sumptuous food I get here. I eat everything I can lay my hands on, but the jalebis are out of this world,” informed Imran from Haridwar, where he was shooting for the day.

The director, Ali Abbas Zafar, is from Dehradun so he has set the story in a city he knows very well. “Actually the film is a comedy of errors and I fall in love with my brother’s dulhan,” said the actor.

Katrina, Imran bond well

The Yash Raj film directed by Ali Abbas Zafar that Katrina Kaif is shooting in Pataudi these days is her third film in four months. "I've almost completed Farah and Zoya's films ("Tees Maar Khan" and "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara") and this Yash Raj film is also going to be ready in no time. All of them are great fun to shoot, mainly because my co-stars are so easy to work with."

Kat says she's happy just being a working girl right now. "Can't a girl be happy just working hard and enjoying it? Why must a girl be in a relationship to be happy?" About shooting with Salman Khan for a song in "Tees Maar Khan", Katrina asks, "What was the fuss all about? It was like shooting with any co-star one is comfortable with. For those who expected fireworks... Sorry guys, please wait until Diwali."

If there's one Bollywood diva who qualifies as Calamity Jane, it's Katrina. The accident-prone actress had another accident on Tuesday in Pataudi near Delhi, where she is shooting with Imran Khan. During an action sequence bustling with lots of gadgets, cars and guns, not to mention flailing limbs, Imran's hand landed straight in Katrina's face, hitting her nose really hard.

It wouldn't have been so painful if there wasn't a steel gun in Imran's hand, which hit her nose with a whack. Katrina says she could've sworn she heard something crack in the middle of her face. Wincing in pain, on Wednesday afternoon, she said, "Please don't make it seem as if Imran was careless or something. These things happen.We were shooting one of the really madcap scenes where the actors' limbs acquire a life of their own. Imran's hand landed on my face."

The pain in her nose was greater than it would've been otherwise simply because she got hit exactly on the same spot on her nose by Ranbir Kapoor during the shooting of "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani". "Yeah, I got whacked twice in the same spot. I think I need to get my nose fixed," says Katrina. Imran was full of apologies after the incident. Says Katrina, "He's really fun to gel with. Luckily, he's engaged, so we can chat and enjoy one another's company without people's imagination going on a rampage!"

Imran Khan-Katrina in Yash Raj film

Imran Khan and Katrina Kaif have finally signed for a film that will go on floors next month. After Sanjay Gadhvi’s 7 Days In Paris ran into financial trouble and Emraan Hashmi replaced Imran Khan in Dibakar’s next, Yash Raj Films has signed Imran Khan and Katrina for their next. Though still untitled, the film will be directed by debutante Ali Abbas Zafar. Ali has written the script and the film will be the next one to go on floors under the YRF banner as early as next month.

Yes, YRF has got a fresh new face in Imran but the actor too has benefited from this deal. As reported earlier, Sanjay Gadhvi’s film ran into financial trouble and Emraan Hashmi replaced Imran Khan in Dibakar’s political thriller. Apparently, Imran and Dibakar intend to do a film eventually but that’s for later. In the meantime, the two debacles have seemingly brought luck to both Imran and Katrina.

Our source said, “This is the first time Imran will work in a YRF Film. The film was not scheduled to start earlier but since Katrina had bulk dates to give, considering Dostana 2 was postponed, Imran also agreed and the film is ready to take off immediately. Imran is known to be choosy but he loved the script and has signed the film. It’s a romantic film. Ali has assisted YRF in four films earlier: Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, New York, Tashan and the recently released Badmash Company .”

Imran Khan confirmed, “I am happy to be a part of the film and to be working with YRF. I love the way Adi functions. I also liked the way Ali has visualised his script.”

Imran Khan refuses Yashraj Banner!

Imraan Khan does not want to go the Hrithik Roshan way. Like Hrithik, Imraan had a great debut. But unlike Hrithik, Imraan does not want to sign on any film coming his way even if they are from big banners. Hrithik signed with reknowned banners like Subhash Ghai(Yaadein), Sooraj Barjatiya(Mein Prem Ki Diwani Hoon) and Kunal Kohli(Mujhse Dosti Karoge) and all of them bombed. And Inran certainly does not want to follow that route.

If sources are to be believed the actor has just turned down a subject offered to him by the Yashraj banner with the reason that he did not like the script. Imraan was approached by Aditya Chopra a few months before the release of his debut film Jaane Tu Yaa Jaane Naa with three story ideas. Imraan approved one of them which was then sent to the writers to be further scripted.

However just few weeks back a narration was given to him but the actor did not quite like it.

Imraan Khan who is eagerly awaiting the release of his second film when asked if Yashraj approached him with the project, said `` I don't think it is right to talk about projects that are not confirmed.''

When quizzed further if the project that was offered to him was not liked by him and apparently has said no to the film, Imraan said, `` I don't think it is right to talk about projects that are either in development or a project that did not happen. As it stands today I have no commitments after Delhi belly.''

So the big question is, has Imraan refused the Yashraj banner? Watch this space for more on this...
