Katrina Kaif's diligence is to be seen to be believed. Now that director Prakash Jha has begun work on his political drama, Rajniti, supposedly based on the Mahabharata, the actress is believed to be working very hard to perfect herself for the character. Katrina has had to say goodbye to her glamorous avatar in this movie.

It seems that the actress has a simple, sans makeup, look for the movie. Besides working on her look, the actress is working on her dialogue delivery as well. One had heard that Jha had recorded all her dialogues and sent them to her in advance so that she could prepare herself before arriving on the sets. The actress seems to have taken him seriously enough and is working hard at perfecting her accent and dialogue delivery. According to sources, this is what Vishal Bharadwaj had done with Saif Ali Khan in Omkara, and it worked wonders, with the actor turning in one of his best performances to date. Rajniti's shooting is taking place in Bhopa and Katrina is expected to join the unit soon enough. She is paired opposite Ranbir Kapoor in this movie as well. They are doing Rajkumar Santoshi's film as well. The other members of the cast include, Naseeruddin Shah, Nana Patekar, Arjun Rampal and Manoj Bajpai, all of who play politicians in this movie.
