Nikhil Advani who has earlier directed films like A Wednesday, Dev D, Barfi and Kai Po Che will be directing Katti Batti, a unique love story about new-age relationships.  The script has been written by debutant Anshul Singhal. Imran plays the character Maddy in the film while Kangana will be seen as Payal.

 "I have worked with UTV on successful films like Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, I Hate Luv Storys, Delhi Belly and Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu. Hope the magic is recreated this time as well" said Imran on bagging UTV's Katti Batti.

Siddharth Roy Kapur, managing director, Disney India, says, "Katti Batti is a love story steeped in the culture and language of today's relationships. We wanted to ensure that the script gets the right director and a cast that can justify the two real, funny and layered lead characters. We are thrilled to have Nikhil, Imran and Kangana on board."
