Director Rajkumar Santoshi has signed up Bollywood’s new sensational star Ranbir Kapoor and ravishing beauty Katrina Kaif for his upcoming movie.

Ramesh Taurani of Tips confirmed the project saying, “Yes, we have signed on Katrina and Ranbir for a love story to be directed by Raj Kumar Santoshi.”

Santoshi is very excited about this project as he is writing the story himself.

Before signing this movie, Ranbir and Katrina were working together in Siddharth Anand’s new film for Yash Raj. But, their scenes together were cut as the length of the movie was too long.

In fact, the chemistry between the two was unbelievable and a source said, “Much was being talked about how great the two looked together and how sizzling their onscreen chemistry was. When Raj Kumar Santoshi learnt about this and saw it for himself, he just couldn't resist taking them on for his next film.”

About Ranbir Santoshi said, “I wanted to work with Ranbir the minute I saw him in Saawariya. I see that special spark in him. In fact after I saw him in Saawariya I sent him a bouquet, I was so impressed by him.”

“For very long now I wanted to make a pure love story. I've written this script some time back. I was waiting for the right face. I think Ranbir was destined to be the hero in my love story,” he added.

Produced by Tips, the film will hit Indian cinema shortly.
