His film will explore the dark underbelly of human nature and Katrina will have to do some serious self-exploration to play the roles of the twins.
Dibakar does not want Kaif to get influenced by Hema Malini's performance in the original. He has given her a list of films and books on pain and catharsis to prepare for the roles. Some of the films include Bimal Roy's Devdas and Guru Dutt's Pyasa and Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam. According to Dibakar, Shabana Azmi's portrayal of an unmarried girl living with her ailing mother in a state of ruin in Mrinal Sen's Khandhar will be a reference point for Katrina's role.
Clearly, Katrina won't have to jump onto the ceiling fan and bash up goons, as Malini did in the original comic caper. Banerjee says, "I love Seeta Aur Geeta. It is great fun to watch the film. But I don't view Seeta as good and Geeta as evil. One is weak, and the other aggressive. The evil forces come from outside.
