Katrina Kaif may have lost out on Bachna Ae Haseeno due to problems with the script, but it has not harmed her jodi with Ranbir Kapoor. The actress who has been looking for new heroes to star opposite, is believed to have signed two films opposite Ranbir.

The duo has already started shooting for the first film, which Raj Kumar Santoshi's Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani. The second film that she is supposed to have signed opposite Ranbir is Prakash Jha's next, which is said to be a political thriller called Rajniti. Jha had gone to the extend of saying that if he had not been able to get Ranbir, he would probably not even dream of doing the film. Rajniti also stars Jha favourite Ajay Devgan and Manoj Bajpai. According to the director, his reasons for signing Katrina were many. Firstly, the actress fitted the bill of a modern, young woman that he is looking for and secondly, she would look very good opposite Ranbir. The film is supposed to be more like a contemporary take on the Mahabharat whith Indian politics forming the backdrop. It has also been heard that Vivek Oberoi was also approached to do one of the roles but it didn't work out. Actor Arjun Rampal has been roped in instead, in his place. Since Jha's films are quite hard hitting and powerful, it will surely be a novel experience for both Katrina and Ranbir, who have only cut their teeth on the run of mill commercial Hindi cinema so far.
