As
a
PYT
(pretty
young
thing),
with
stars
in
her
eyes,
never
would
Kangana
Ranaut
have
imagined
that
she
would
ever
get
a
chance
to
work
with
one
of
her
most
admired
actors,
Hrithik
Roshan.
After
Gangster,
her
detractors
criticized
her
for
her
dress
sense
and
drawling
accent,
although
everyone
acknowledged
her
acting
capabilities,
with
some
even
going
to
the
extent
of
calling
her
the
new
tragedy
queen,
a
la
Meena
Kumari.
However,
two
unsuccessful
films
later
(Woh
Lamhe
and
Shaka
Laka
Boom
Boom)
she
was
once
again
written
off
and
was
more
in
the
news
for
her
off
screen
deeds.
Yet
again
it
was
her
Gangster
director,
Anurag
Basu,
who
gave
Kangana
a
new
lease
of
life
(and
presented
her
in
a
completely
different
light
from
her
screen
image)
with
Life
In
A
Metro.
And
it
appears
that
Anurag
considers
Kangana
her
lucky
mascot
because
he
has
been
solely
instrumental
in
giving
Kangana
her
first
big
break
opposite
Hrithik
Roshan
and
International
star,
Barbara
Mori
in
Filmkraft's
Kites.
Naturally
Kangana
is
on
cloud
nine.
Recalling
the
events,
Kangana
says
that
one
fine
day
Anurag
called
up
and
asked
her
if
she
was
interested
in
working
opposite
Hrithik
Roshan.
Kangana
could
not
believe
her
ears
as
she
thought
that
it
was
some
sort
of
a
prank.
But
when
Anurag
reassured
her,
she
agreed
delightfully.
She
then
met
the
producer,
Rakesh
Roshan
and
was
given
a
bound
script
(although
she
did
not
demand
it)
and
thus
her
wish
of
working
opposite
super
hero,
Hrithik
Roshan
came
true.
