When asked why he didn’t get Kaif instead of Khan in ‘Zara Hatke’, he replied, “Aapko lagta hai Katrina kabhi small town ki heroine lagegi (Do you think Katrina will look like a small town heroine)?”
“Meri language Katrina ko samajh aayegi tabhi kar paunga (I can only do a film if Katrina understands my language),” he laughed.
Utekar continued to explain in a serious manner, “I wouldn’t get them onboard this time because Zara Hatke Zara Bachke is in a different space and I feel Katrina ka joh aura hai and personality hai, mujhe personally laga nahi ki voh ek middle-class joint family ki bahu lag sakti hai (The aura and personality Katrina has, I personally didn’t feel she can look like a middle-class joint family daughter-in-law).”
“Agar future mein aisa kuch banega joh unko suit karega toh kyun nahi (If there is anything in the future that will suit them then why not),” he added.
