I’m hiding my look for ‘Ra.One’: Arjun Rampal

The cat is out of the bag. Model-turned-actor Arjun Rampal has finally admitted he has been concealing his look for Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming superhero movie “Ra.One”.

Rumour mills were abuzz that Arjun, who reportedly plays a villain in the movie, wears a bald look and unkempt beard in the same as he has been visibly hiding it with a woolen cap in the recent months.

Asked about this, Arjun said: “Yes. That’s correct. I can’t reveal my look from the film right now… I am not allowed to.”

“‘Ra.One’ will take sometime right now and you’ll come to know about it as time passes,” added the actor, who has also toned down for the movie.

I was shocked when approached for ‘Raajneeti’: Katrina

It doesn’t happen often that one is approached by a filmmaker like Prakash Jha for a movie and when actress Katrina Kaif fell in the same bracket, rather than being pleasantly surprised, she was shocked with non-belief.

“I was shocked when Prakash ji approached me for ‘Raajneeti’. I asked him if he’d seen any of my films and he was not confusing me with anyone else,” said Katrina, who has mostly done lighter roles and plays a politician in “Raajneeti”.

The 25-year-old plays a character inspired from the epic Mahabharata’s Draupadi in the upcoming political drama and considers it to be a big leap.

“This is a different step I’m taking forward (in films) and I hope people like it,” she added.

Also starring an ensemble cast including Ranbir Kapoor, Ajay Devgn, Nana Patekar, Naseeruddin Shah, Manoj Bajpai and Arjun Rampal, “Raajneeti” is releasing June 4.
