Ranaut and Basu 'no longer friends'

Kangna Ranaut has allegedly fallen out with director Anurag Basu.

The actress has worked with Basu on a number of projects, including Life In A Metro and Gangster.

According to Mumbai Mirror, Ranaut is unhappy with the type of roles she is being asked to play in the director's films.

"Ranaut still cares for Basu. But he has been really unfair to her. You don't consider people as your lucky mascot, but in return give them a raw deal," a source claimed.

"There is much more to Ranaut than playing only demented females. She has it in her to display a gamut of emotions."

The star is also reported to have felt disappointed with the editing of Kites, which left her with minimal screen time.

Kagna Ranaut to play British detective

Kangna Ranaut has described playing a British girl in her forthcoming film as her hardest role yet.

The 23-year-old actress will be playing an Interpol officer in director Abhay Deol's The Game, the The Times of India has reported.

Ranaut told the paper: "It was challenging to prepare for this role of a British girl from London who is actually quite like a man in many ways."

According to the star, producers Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar were initially planning to cast a man in the role.

"I had to make sure that I got the body language perfect. There is nothing romantic or sensual about this Interpol officer. Yet my director didn't want to go overboard with the stiffness and appear like too masculine," she added.
