Exclusive: Katrina Kaif to take the Deepika Padukone route and produce PT Usha biopic?

Katrina Kaif has been killing it off late with her performances in films like ‘Zero’ and ‘Bharat’. While the Salman Khan starrer is crossing the 200 crore mark comfortably, the actress has another huge actioner lined up right after. She plays the lead in Rohit Shetty’s ‘Sooryavanshi’ and will reunite with Akshay Kumar on screen after several years. But she has set different goals for her already.

A source tells us, “Katrina wants to step into production this year. She has even confirmed the development in several interviews. She is building a team of creative people to work on passion projects and now, wants to put in her name to back great scripts.”

As for the starters, she might have locked her first one too. “‘Pokiri’ makers are planning a biopic on PT Usha. Katrina and Jacqueline Fernandez are in contention to play the lead role. But Katrina has reached out to the makers and explained that she wants to also come on board as a presenter for the film. They are trying to lock things at the moment and if all goes well, she will announce her first production venture by the end of this year.”

This also means that Katrina will take the same route as Deepika Padukone and Anushka Sharma. Both DP and Anushka decided to back content driven films like ‘Chhapaak’ and ‘NH10’ respectively. Soon, Katrina will also follow suit.
