Katrina Kaif and Nana Patekar in Rajneeti
Katrina Kaif took on some challenging roles quite early in her career. One of them was the 2010 film Rajneeti, directed and produced by Prakash Jha. Katrina played the role of Indu Pratap, who is eventually elected the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh. Her character is shown to be in love with Ranbir Kapoor`s role, but is married to his brother Prithviraj Pratap (Arjun Rampal). Her character was based on Draupadi from Mahabharat.
In the film, Katrina was required to deliver a speech in front of a large crowd. Recalling the famous sequence, Katrina reveals on the Mid-day`s Sit With Hitlist that she was super nervous during the shoot. Actor Nana Patekar helped calm her down. "Walking on the stage, my hands were trembling. I remember Nana sir saying, it`s fine. It`s going to be fine," she recalls.
