Katrina’s British Accent Is A Big Advantage For Her

Though Katrina Kaif has learned Hindi better over the years, her dialogue delivery still has much room for improvement. Now, linguistic shortcoming can be a weak link in the career of many actors. But for once, Katrina’s Brit accent has worked in her favour.

Reports say Katrina has managed to bag a leading role in director Dibakar Banerjee’s next film because of her accent. Banerjee (whose last film Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! got critical acclaim) plans to make a love triangle with a gay angle. Imran Khan and Abhay Deol have reportedly been finalized to play the male leads, while Katrina is set to clinch the female lead part despite her competitor Sonam Kapoor desiring to bag the role.

Apparently, the film’s leading lady has a foreign background, and, therefore, Katrina suits the part better than Sonam, who is a typical Indian beauty compared to Katrina’s international look and, of course, her Brit twang. Source
