Katrina Kaif Talks About Raajneeti

Posted by admin on May 16th, 2010 | 0 comments

Katrina Kaif is gung-ho about the possibility of Raajneeti working well at the box-office. She is all praise for director Prakash Jha. She says, “Raajneeti isn’t for the seventy or the thirty percent. It is for the hundred percent audiences. There are very few films that are rooted into the culture of India. Raajneeti falls under that bracket and any film that showcases Indian culture will receive both the sides of the audiences. Prakashji has that reputation. His films are urban as much as they are rural. “

Katrina Kaif has believably given her career-best performance in Raajneeti and she is happy for the director to take the credit. “ Prakash Jha has so much soul into the ideology of India, that all his films have that rooted Indian flavour. That is where he comes from. He comes from a grass root level. He comes from a very intellectual circle. He comes from this world of politics. Not politics where you are sitting in the Lok Sabha. He comes from the local constituencies. He knows them because he has been there. He knows the North India inside out. He knows the Indian political system and that’s what his movies reflect – the kind of person he is. He knows the grass root levels to the top level. Raajneeti is Prakash Jha’s most complete film.”

The beautiful actress and reigning queen of Bollywood says that she only looks up to Sonia Gandhi as a role model in politics. No wonder, that her character is also modeled on the progressive politician. “It sounds very farcical and very politically correct; the only politician I look up to is Madam Sonia Gandhiji because she comes to India for love, she gets her husband brutally assassinated and then she fights the system by being a politician. She learnt the language of India and as a woman and a foreigner in India, she rose above the men. Men because I feel that India is a very male dominated country. It’s beyond incredible what she has done for India and for their citizens. People can talk all the crap they want but to maintain that level of power and to have hold on to it, it takes an extraordinary amount of courage and confidence.”
