Katrina Kaif favourite to play lead in ‘Seeta Aur Geeta’ remake

Katrina Kaif is favourite to bag the leading double role in the remake of classic film ‘Seet Aur Geeta’ (1972).

There were rumours that Ramesh Sippy, the original director of the blockbuster was going to helm this project too – however, that has been denied by his son Rohan.

Mid-Day reports that the makers are apparently so happy with Kaif’s interest in the project that they have given her a free hand at selecting the team she wants to work with. Another source told the publication, “The rights are not with Sippy as there is a dispute between the Sippy brothers regarding it. Ramesh could be directing it but only after he wins the rights.”

Grapevine has it that Kaif has already sat down with Sippy’s banner to work out fine details for the project. No official word from Kaif or Sippy at the time of filing this article.
