A UTV Motion Pictures presentation, Nikhil Advani’s ‘Katti Batti’ is a unique love story about new-age relationships. The film will see Imran Khan and Kangana Ranaut pairing up for the first time.

 

Director Nikhil said, “We wanted actors who would justify the script. I'm elated by the lead pair, as it has been a dream to work with Kangana - despite such a good body of work, she still brings humility to her craft. Imran, on the other hand, lends a fresh approach.”

 

The film’s male lead, Imran said, “I have worked with UTV on successful films like ‘Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’, ‘I Hate Luv Storys’, ‘Delhi Belly’ and ‘Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu’. Hope the magic is recreated this time as well.”

 

Kangana’s character in the film is called Payal. Talking about the film she says, “It is a beautiful story woven around the battle of the sexes. It will change the perspective of love stories in Bollywood. My association with this film corporation goes back to ‘Life In A Metro’ and‘Fashion’, two of my most memorable films.”

 

Siddharth Roy Kapur, managing director, Disney India, reveals, “‘Katti Batti’ is a love story steeped in the culture and language of today's relationships. We wanted to ensure that the script gets the right director and a cast that can justify the two real, funny and layered lead characters. We are thrilled to have Nikhil, Imran and Kangana on board.”
