Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma are all set to reunite on the silver screen with Aanand L Rai’s next, tentatively titled ‘Katrina Meri Jaan’. In the movie, Katrina was to play her own self and SRK her biggest fan. However, it seems there has been a little alteration in the plan.
Apparently, Katrina requested the makers to think of a different name for the movie. “I play an actress in the film, but I don’t play myself. I’m not ‘Katrina Kaif’. My character has a different name in the film. So, it obviously cannot be called ‘Katrina Meri Jaan’,” said Kaif in a recent interview. However, a source reveals that there’s more to the story. “The script was written with the idea of Katrina playing Katrina in the film and SRK being her biggest fan. Kat asked the makers to change the character’s name because she didn’t want people to think it’s completely based on her life.”
He added, “Especially, because the character of the actress in the film goes through a terrible break-up with her actor-boyfriend. Given that Ranbir and Katrina’s break-up is still being talked about, she wasn’t comfortable with the similarities being drawn between her reel and real life. It was too close to reality, so she requested Aanand to use a different name for her character.”
