Kangana Ranaut is an unwed mother?

Pics : Kangana in a bold tale of live-in relationship and getting pregnant

It is reliably learnt that actresst Kangana Ranaut has given the nod to Nikhil Advani's Katti Batti, opposite Imran Khan. Now, we have learnt that the film revolves around the couple's live-in relationship which hits a rough patch when she gets pregnant. When the news is broken, Imran's character, Maddy, reacts with, "Let's get married?" But Payal (Kangana) takes him by surprise by retorting, "Why? Because I'm pregnant? So what's the big deal!" Nikhil points out that both the characters have shades of grey, creating many twists. "I agreed to do the film just on the basis of the original title, Saali Kutiya: A Love Story. The censors would have never passed it, so we changed it to Katti Batti. But I have retained Anshul's modern take on an age-old institution. It reflects the fact that Indian women today are confident, progressive, empowered and ready to take chances," says Nikhil. The director was always keen on casting Imran as Maddy, but getting the nod from Kangana for Payal was a bonus. "After the narration, we sat together for three hours discussing details of the character. I could see that Kangana was as excited as I was," he reminisces. For Kangana this yet another challenging role. The actress has in the past delivered strong performances. Take a look at her memorable roles
