Kangna Ranaut will essay the role of Abhishek Bachchan's soul-mate and wife in Ram Gopal Varma's film Department.
The director met Ranaut, on Monday, to finalise her for the film. When asked about his decision to cast the actress, Varma explains, "I wondered why we haven't worked together as yet! Kangna very much fits into my vision as a filmmaker.
She is intense and emotional on screen. I've wanted to work with her, from the time she appeared in Gangster and Woh Lamhe.
But I didn't want to cast her in anything insignificant. The role had to justify her presence."
The rest of the cast includes Amitabh Bachchan and Sanjay Dutt. Ranaut is the only major female character in the film. As Varma explains, "It is very much a guys' film, with only one major female character.
The story is about three cops and the extra-constitutional activities they engage in to maintain a civil society.
Kangna is the only person in the world that Abhishek's character can share his agony with. She plays a very intense role in this dark, gritty and real drama."
