Dinesh Kamath's old article on Kangana Ranaut that was published in Newsband



Kangana Ranaut is in great form these days. After wowing audiences with her performance in Tanu Weds Manu, Kangana Ranaut is set to do another love story titled Kris And Suri. This time, she romances southern star Rana Daggubati. It is third time lucky for the pair who missed out on working with each other in Dum Maaro Dum and Department. Though Rana Daggubati is shooting for Department and Kangana is tied up with I Luv NY and the Ishqiya sequel, both loved the script so much that they readily gave dates for the film. The film, directed by Rajshree Ojha and produced by Pritish Nandy Communications Ltd, will have a very international and urban vibe to it. People who have loved Kangna in Tanu Weds Manu are going to love this film even more. It's a very different take on love. Also, Kangana will be given a very modern look in this one. The director was really keen to cast Kangana opposite Rana. She was keeping her fingers crossed since the efforts to bring the two together in the past had failed terribly. The film will have a very international and urban vibe to it.
Kangana had a lot of fun doing Tanu Weds Manu and she got tremendous response for the film. She was looking forward to another sweet love story to come her way. Post her stunning performance in Tanu Weds Manu, Kangna Ranaut has been creating waves in Bollywood.
Kangna Ranaut is said to be good friends with Sanjay Dutt, however, when it comes to making decisions related to career, the actress is quite a professional. Kangna was offered both Ram Gopal Varma's Sanjay Dutt starrer Department as well as Vishal Bhardwaj's Ishiqya's sequel and the actress left the duo surprised. However, when she learnt that both the films were to go on the floors around the same time, she decided to opt for the latter, leaving Sanjay and RGV in disbelief. Kangna had her diary of dates full and she was in a fix as her Ishqiya sequel and Department dates were clashing with each other. Failing to accommodate both the films, Kangna had to let go of one offer. She had a very strong performance oriented role in Vishal's project. Thus, the actress chose Ishqiya over Ramu's film.
Though Kangna has moved out of Department, she still is in great terms with Ramu and Sanjay. The actress is also keeping her fingers crossed, as she hopes to work with them in the future. Though she tried her best, she couldn't accommodate both the films and had to let go of one. Since she is a big fan of Vishal Bhardwaj and Abhishek Chaubey (the director), she chose Ishqiya. Plus, she has very strong, performance-oriented role in it. Kangna is very glad to bag the film, which a lot of other top actresses were also vying for.
Audiences have seen Kangana Ranaut groove to beats and shake a leg on screen but the actress feels she is still not capable of doing an item number in a film. At a time when most actresses, including Katrina Kaif, and even actors like Ranbir Kapoor and Aamir Khan have gone the item number way, Kangana, who has got many such offers, is still chary of accepting them. She was offered an item number in Housefull and then its sequel. There have been other offers too, but she feels that she cannot do justice to an item number. She thinks people will not like her doing that, so she is not keen on doing them.
Kangana is referred to as the sultry Bollywood babe and one with great dancing skills. Her refusal to do item number offered to her by Sajid Khan for Houseful 2 has not surprised her fans who are aware of the fact that she had earlier also refused to do the item number that Jacqueline Fernandez did in the original Houseful. The song was Dhanno that had become a big hit.
Kangna somehow is not happy doing item numbers and loves the roles she gets. Apparently she has refused not two but many more item songs offered to her. The lady who had rocked her dance movements with Hrithik Roshan in Kites is currently in no mood of breaking this self-imposed norm.
Kangna's fans love her, her acting, her fashion, her hair, and even her accent but her dancing is definitely not something that makes them happy. So they are very glad that she prefers not to do any. Then again, her fans love her for her histrionics, for the innocence that shines through the gloss in Fashion and Once Upon a Time In Mumbaai. So they agree that oomphing her way through a dance is not her thing.
The 25-year-old actress walked the ramp at the India International Jewellery Week (IIJW). Kangana turned a gypsy woman on day 1 of India International Jewellery Week 2011. Several hot models and actresses were snapped as they walked the ramp at the India International Jewellery Week 2011. The show presented traditional, yet unconventional, jewellery and had a line of the most gorgeous hand crafted pieces which have been owned by international celebs from around the world. Kangana was looking pretty in a red gown with black and gold border by Masaba Gupta and was wearing a truly majestic trio of uncut diamond sets with Jadau jewellery, earrings, hair ornaments, armlets, rings and belt. Other models who walked the ramp along with Kangna were Aanchal Kumar and Netra Raghuraman, Candice Pinto, Anjali Lavania. Actress-host Roshni Chopra was also captured by the cameramen.
It's the year of experiments for Kangna Ranaut, as she leaves her 'spooky' days behind and tries her hand at romantic and comedy films. Now that her films are working, she'll be open to more kinds of roles. And it's not just new genres; Kangna is also experimenting with new co-stars and succeeding. She was all praise for Chirag Paswan who debuts with her in One And Only. She calls Chirag a good actor, and the film focuses more on him. She is okay with that because it's his debut film.
Kangna has always gotten along well with all her girlfriends (a term she uses for her female co-stars). Be it Priyanka Chopra, Mughda Godse or even Mallika Sherawat, she has always had a lot of fun on the sets with them.
Thus Kangna is going great guns as far as her career is concerned. Let's hope that she will maintain for a long, long time the position that she has attained in Bollywood. Good luck, Kangna!
