Mumbai: Katrina Kaif is almost every director's first choice for their films. Same was the case with director Anurag Basu while making Barfi. Reportedly, Kat was supposed to feature as one of the three leads in Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra starer.
Apparently, Katrina was the first option in Anurag's mind for playing the role of Shruti, which is now essayed by southern actress Ileana D'Cruz. Basu in an interview said, "Maybe this role was in Ileana's destiny, and she got it. She was an instinctive choice after Katrina, for this role."
Barfi is one of the much anticipated films of this year. The first promo was officially launched last Monday. Ranbir plays a deaf-mute character named Murphy and PeeCee will be seen as a mentally challenged girl Jhilmil in the film. The promos have heaped up loads of appraisals from all around, with over 3,50,000 views in a day. Ranbir no doubt steals the show in the trailer and this performance will create a wider gap between him and other contemporary actors. He has been urging people not to co-relate the film subject with the physical disability he has as a character in the movie.
The movie will be in theatres on September 14.
