Why Ranbir is taking so much interest in the exotic Nargis?

Ranbir Kapoor's interest in the exotic beauty Nargis Fakhri is more professional than personal.

The US-born half-Pakistani half-Czech debutante's Hindi needs a lot of work, to put it mildly, and Kapoor has taken up the cause to perfect her language skills. Along with director Imtiaz Ali, Kapoor has been relentlessly working on Fakhri's diction.

In fact, sources say the entire Rockstar team is determined to turn Fakhri desi before the final print of Rockstar is ready for release in September. All members of the crew have been advised to converse in Hindi with Fakhri; no one talks to her in English anymore.

Ali and Kapoor had put aside the leading lady's linguistic problem at the start of the shoot. Ali was reportedly dazzled by her screen presence, and decided to sort out the tiny issue of language later. Now, with Rockstar nearly complete, the director and the lead actor have joined forces to make Fakhri's Hindi sound credible.

The two have two options -- either her lines can be dubbed by a professional dubbing artist, like Katrina Kaif's lines were in her first few films, or Fakhri improves her Hindi enough to sound convincing as a desi girl in time for the final print.

"Nargis' screen presence and her acting abilities are topnotch. Everyone from the unit is raving about her. But the matter of her lines still need to be sorted out, " said a source.

Ali and Kapoor have reportedly taken the tougher route and are working on Fakhri's Hindi round the clock. The 5'9" tall Fakhri was featured in the 2009 Kingfisher calendar. She has also done television commercials for Herbal Essence, Pantene, and Ponds in the US.

Who is prettier - Katrina Kaif or Nargis Fakhri?

We must admit that despite all his fickle follies, Ranbir Kapoor sure has an eye for beauty. A comparison between Katrina Kaif and Nargis Fakhri can leave many puzzled as to who is prettier of the two. If the present rumour sweeping through tinsel town is to be believed, Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif have parted ways after what was a very hush-hush love affair. The new girl who makes the Kapoor lad’s heart skip a beat or two is his Rockstar co-star Nargis Fakhri. Like Katrina, Nargis too has her roots in the west. She was born in New York and even appeared for America’s Next Top Model in 2004. She’s quite a stunner and her angelic face is sure to send many men swooning. But Katrina’s no less. Choosing between the two ladies could be a tough ask so we decided to get more opinions from our readers. You say - who looks prettier?

Ranbir Kapoor’s girl Nargis Fakhri can’t stay hidden!

She doesn’t have an item song to boast of and neither a film. Then too, the beautiful Nargis Fakhri is the talk of the town, courtesy Ranbir Kapoor. Now it’s heard that her recent public outing with the Kapoor lad has miffed director Imtiaz Ali, who has asked her to stay away from public glare till Rockstar releases.

Nargis is Imtiaz’s find. Though this Kingfisher calendar gal has no experience in acting, Imtiaz was sure that she would be perfect for Rockstar and signed her for the film. Nargis’ fresh face is the USP of Rockstar, and as per sources, there was a plan to bring her out in public at the time of the film’s promotion.

Now Imtiaz fears that the buzz around Nargis might fade out soon while the movie’s release is due in August this year. Nargis was once spotted with Ranbir’s mom Neetu Singh at a restaurant and later she was seen along with Ranbir and his friends outside a city multiplex.

In fact, sources even claim that it also doesn’t help Imtiaz that his lead pair is seen together in public. “The fact that they are dating makes things really awkward for the Rockstar director,” a source is quoted as saying.

Imtiaz has now asked Nargis to keep a low profile for the film’s sake. It can be recalled that earlier during the release of Love Aaj Kal, Imitiaz had the same strategy planned for the debutante Giselle Monteiro, who, despite being a Brazilian essayed a Punjabi girl in LAK. People got the glimpse of the real Giselle, a model, only when LAK hit the theatres. In fact, her name too was not made public until the film’s release.

Guess Imtiaz’s plan to build up same curiosity around Nargis has gone for a toss, thanks to her movie date with Ranbir.
