- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,January 15 2010]
Prakash JhaÂs political saga ÂRajneeti has added yet another cast to its already remarkable star team.
The film has roped in Sarah Thompson Kane, a popular English actress of ÂCruel Intentions 2Â fame and one who plays South African cricketer Hansie CronjeÂs wife in the 2008 biopic ÂHansieÂ.
In Rajneeti, Sarah said to be featuring as Ranbir KapoorÂs American girlfriend. They both fall in love in American university in the film. Later Ranbir leaves her behind to pursue his familyÂs political dynastic ambitions in India; however Sarah follows him in the course of the film.
The director revealed that they had auditioned nearly 30 girls before they finalized on Sarah. ÂShe was right for the part. ItÂs a substantial role and we needed an actress who could act and would look compatible with Ranbir, said Jha. Interestingly, this is the first time Ranbir has shot with the Caucasian lady and sources revealed that they both didnÂt share much compatibility. So much that, the director felt to do away with a kissing scene of the two in the film.
