Katrina Kaif asked filmmaker to change title of Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma starrer?

Mumbai: Shah Rukh Khan’s untitled next with Aanand L Rai has been in news since its inception. A lot has been written and spoken about the venture because SRK is all set to play a dwarf in it. But the filmmakers are tight-lipped about the title of the film and its content.

If the latest buzz is anything to go by, then Katrina Kaif, who is also a part of the film, asked Rai to change the working title.

According to a DNA report, Katrina didn’t want ‘Katrina Meri Jaan’ as the working title of the film.

“The script was written with the idea of Katrina playing Katrina in the film and SRK being her biggest fan. Kat asked the makers to change the character’s name because she didn’t want people to think it’s completely based on her life, DNA quoted an insider as saying.

“Especially, because the character of the actress in the film goes through a terrible break-up with her actor-boyfriend. Given that Ranbir and Katrina’s break-up is still being talked about, she wasn’t comfortable with the similarities being drawn between her reel and real life. It was too close to reality, so she requested Aanand to use a different name for her character,” the source added.

However, Katrina has refuted this rumour. She said, “I play an actress in the film, but I don’t play myself. I’m not Katrina Kaif. My character has a different name in the film. So, it obviously cannot be called Katrina Meri Jaan.”

The film which also stars Anushka Sharma will be the trio’s second film together after Yash Chopra’s ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’.
