The cat is out of the bag. Model-turned-actor Arjun Rampal has finally admitted he has been concealing his look for Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming superhero movie 'Ra.One'.

Asked about this, Arjun said: 'Yes. That's correct. I can't reveal my look from the film right now... I am not allowed to.'

'Ra.One' will take sometime right now and you'll come to know about it as time passes,' added the actor, who has also toned down for the movie.

I was shocked when approached for 'Raajneeti': Katrina

It doesn't happen often that one is approached by a filmmaker like Prakash Jha for a movie and when actress Katrina Kaif fell in the same bracket, rather than being pleasantly surprised, she was shocked with non-belief.

'I was shocked when Prakash ji approached me for 'Raajneeti'. I asked him if he'd seen any of my films and he was not confusing me with anyone else,' said Katrina, who has mostly done lighter roles and plays a politician in 'Raajneeti'.

The 25-year-old plays a character inspired from the epic Mahabharata's Draupadi in the upcoming political drama and considers it to be a big leap.

'This is a different step I'm taking forward (in films) and I hope people like it,' she added.

Also starring an ensemble cast including Ranbir Kapoor, Ajay Devgn, Nana Patekar, Naseeruddin Shah, Manoj Bajpai and Arjun Rampal, 'Raajneeti' is releasing June 4.
