Kangana Ranaut can sure be optimistic towards the box office result of Hrithik Roshan’s latest movie ‘Kites’. There is a buzz doing the rounds that this flick is going to be one of the biggest blockbusters to come out of Bollywood, and is going to take Hrithik to greater heights.

Now to make this year brighter for Kangana, one more role with a great scope to perform has come knocking. Kangana seems to have signed the dotted line to be the female lead for the gangster movie ‘Once Upon a Time In Mumbai’ that will be directed by Milan Luthria. She will be playing the love interest of Ajay Devgan in this flick.

Although many movies deriving their concepts from the underworld stories have come up before, this new flick is going to be unique say the folks who are involved with this project. The novelty will lie in the depiction of growth of the underworld in Mumbai during the 1970’s and 80’s.

This is one area that has never been touched before by Bollywood.

Reports indicate that Ajay Devgan’s role is based on the life of the biggest smuggler of Mumbai of that time- Haji Mastaan. Emraan Hashmi’s will also be seen in this film donning the role of the then young Dawood Ibrahim. Prachi Desai who shot to fame in big screen with her performance in ‘Rock On’ will also be seen portraying an important character in this flick.

‘Once Upon a Time In Mumbai’ is to be produced by Balaji Motion Pictures and will hit the floors in May.
