Castle star to work with Ashok Amitraj

Stana KaticStana Katic, who plays sexy NYPD cop Kate Beckett on the hit TV series Castle, is having a fantastic year. Katic has been signed on for Ashok Amritraj’s espionage thriller, The Double, starring Richard Gere and Martin Sheen even as Castle popularity returns for a third season.
“He was brilliant in 24 and Slumdog Millionaire,” she gushes. “India has a great pool of acting talent, which was obvious in this unbelievable movie, Jodhaa Akbar, that I watched the other day. I am jealous of my contemporaries, who’ve had the opportunity to act in your movies. ”

“Bollywood is the world’s largest self-sustaining industry. You don’t need Hollywood,” she continues, adding that she is “dying to visit India. I sent my brother to India as a gift on his graduation, and he brought back this beautiful anklet that Indian dancers wear. I experienced India through his stories, but I really want to come too.”

The actress, who admits that she’s a cross between Kate Beckett and Nikki Heat, her literary avatar in Castle, is also looking forward to the Indian audiences’ reaction to Castle’s second season finale.

When asked if Beckett and Richard Castle, played by Nathan Fillion, get together this season, she laughs, “Isn’t that the big question? I can only reveal that Beckett and Castle come closer to each other than ever before. I’d like there to be some mystery for you!”

“The movie is set in the period of the cold war between USA and the Soviet Union,” she reveals on the phone, long distance from Los Angeles. “I play a Russian prostitute. It’s a great role, and the film has a fantastic cast. Shooting for it will be fun!”

The actress hasn’t been able to meet the producer yet though. “We’ve had near-misses each time he’s in town,” she giggles melodically, while asking to be excused for her “sing-song manner of speaking”. “But Ashok sent me a sweet gift, welcoming me to the movie. I’m looking forward to meeting him.”

India Love
Amritraj’s movie is not the only connection Katic has to India. The star of films like The Spirit, Feast of Love and Quantum of Solace, has also acted in the TV crime drama, 24, which also featured Anil Kapoor. And Katic is ga-ga about his performance.

Note that this interview was posted June 27th. I highlighted the last paragraph for this….  I think the last time we heard from Stana on this topic, it was before her meeting with Castle producers to discuss season 3. From what she said in this interview, I am going to assume that she has now had that meeting (There are no current pics of her hair attached to this interview so I cannot establish a "hair timeline" ) and she's knows…. or she's just being as cruel as the season 2 finale was and is doing her "Evil Stana" persona and is taunting us poor shippers again

Thanks Thumper!  That's cool that it was on Nathan's site.  LOVE that highlighted part…whether it's fact or tease, it thrills me.

Here's a link to a similar article with a different source:  http://www.realbollywood.com/n…..ouble.html

I think, as it was mentioned in the interview that the season 2 finale still has not aired in India, that Stana's comments were regarding the season 2 finale and not season 3.  They also are referring to "this season" and not "next season"  when they asked the question.  At least that's what I got out of it.

^^I agree, I think Stana's statement refers to 2nd season, not 3rd.

OK Castle, but it's accompany and observe, and not participate and annoy, got it?

I totally agree, Stana is one beautiful woman. How the heck did they find the only picture that makes her look like she has an afro? Innocent
