Post delivering the blockbuster of 2009, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor have become apple of every filmmaker's eye. They were also loved by the audience. Cashing in on this, Imtiaz Ali has resurrected his once dumped film Rockstar with these two hot stars in the lead.
The film has passed through the hands of many potential rock stars. Imtiaz first offered it to John Abraham. Excited as hell, John had begun to prepare for the part and even started to learn the guitar in 2008. A source said that Imtiaz and Ranbir met many times in the past few months and discussed several projects. But it was Rock Star that Ranbir liked the best. Ranbir will be learning to play the guitar for the part as soon as he finishes with Siddharth Anand's Anjaana Anjaani. Ranbir was heard telling a friend that who wouldn't be excited about playing rock star? It's a dream role. To add to the magic, Ranbir's co-star in Rock Star is Katrina Kaif.
Attempts are on to sign Katrina for the only other film Ranbir has signed for 2010, which is being directed by Anurag Basu. However it's the Imtiaz Ali project that Katrina has apparently said yes to so far. And contrary to perception that AR Rahman is doing the music, it's apparently the tried and tested Pritam Chakraborty. A source close to the project wonders that after Jab We Met and Love Aaj Kal, who would want to break the Imtiaz Ali-Pritam team. Ranbir will go all out to prepare for his part as a rock star. He wants to look every inch the part. That includes the sinewy muscled physique and expertise with the guitar strings.
