It is heard that after introducing Kangna Ranaut in âEk Niranjanâ, the bonding between her and director Puri Jagannadh has been going strong with each passing day. Puri is in Mumbai shooting for his debut film âBbuddahâ with Amitabh Bachchan. Bollywood sources say Kangna has been taking Puri around to premier shows, parties and is becoming close to him.
It is with the same âclosenessâ sources say Puri took every step to ensure Kangna gets a role in his mentor Ramgopal Varmaâs âDepartmentâ. RGV who lost his leftover credibility with films like âRakta Charitra 2, KSD Appalaraju, Dongala Muthaâ has gone back to Mumbai and is doing âDepartmentâ with Amitabh, Abhishek, Sanjay Dutt. News is that Puri convinced Ramu to take his love interest Kangna as Abhishekâs love interest in the film.
Lately, Varma has been depending a lot on his disciple Puri in terms of script preparation thatâs why he could not say no to Puriâs recommendation of Kangna. Frankly, Kangnaâs career was in doldrums before âEk Niranjanâ. It is only after that she got movies like âOnce Upon A Time In Mumbaaiâ âTanu Weds Manuâ.
Now, by bagging the offer of âDepartmentâ through recommendation, Kangna is preparing the stage for getting into the top league of heroines by pairing up with Abhishek Bachchan.
