Katrina Kaif thought that she was confused with someone else when filmmaker Prakash Jha approached her for the film Raajneeti. Obviously, her first expression was of shock.

But willing to prove herself, Kat took the plunge and said yes to the film. The actress tells an agency, “I was shocked when Prakash ji approached me for ‘Raajneeti’. I asked him if he’d seen any of my films and he was not confusing me with anyone else.”

Katrina’s role is modeled on Mahabharata’s Draupadi as she is the only female character among the bunch of other actors like Naseeruddin Shah, Ajay Devgan, Manoj Bajpai, Arjun Rampal and Ranbir Kapoor. And this was a role for which Kat did a lot of homework as well as hardwork, because reciting lines in shudh Hindi wasn’t easy for her and nor was portraying a complex character like that of a politician.

Till now she has played all the light romantic characters, and now after doing ‘Raajneeti’, she knows she has taken a ‘big leap’.
