Katrina Kaif has finally green lit Anees Bazmee's sequel to his 2002 heist-thriller 'Aankhen'. When she was offered the role initially, Kat refused the role down even with the stellar cast of Amitabh Bachchan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and two other A-listers. A strong script and a promise of a remuneration twice of her usual fee did nothing to convince her.
It was recently known that the central character of the sequel is a woman who brings the blind men together. “Scripting of the sequel has been completed. Like in the original, where Sushmita Sen plans the bank robbery, the sequel too has a woman as the mastermind,” a source said. Apparently this little revelation was what led to the 'Dhoom 3' lady change her mind. With her 'Baar Baar Dekho' opposite Sidharth Malhotra all wrapped up, and Anurag Basu's 'Jagga Jasoos' still in the works, Katrina has herself booked solid for the year.
A source close to her revealed, “Paperwork is still to be completed but an announcement will be made soon. Katrina is also on the verge of signing two other big banner films which will roll this year. She is currently working out her dates for all the three projects.”
