In Vishwas Patil&rsquo;s upcoming film, Kangna Ranaut plays a courtesan. And to pick up pointers on her character and the backdrop on the sets, Patil and dialogue writer Atul Tiwari headed to Pakistan. <img alt="Kangana Ranaut" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/feb/Kangana-Ranaut_1.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 741px;" /> A source says, &ldquo;They visited the famous Heera Mandi in Lahore where there are many kothas.&rdquo; Says Patil, &ldquo;Atul knows some people there and I wanted to recreate some houses and courtesans on my Mumbai sets. We visited Lahore to learn about the language they used in the kothas, the atmosphere and the set-up. We also learnt about different dance forms, especially the adaas which they use in dance.&rdquo; The director and his team also visited places in North India to learn more about the kotha culture. Patil adds, &ldquo;I want everything to look authentic. I have got a good team of composers &mdash; Sameer and Dev Kohli, who know Urdu very well.&rdquo; Apparently, Kangna even shot for a dance sequence last week and the director thought she did fantastic. The team however refrained from shooting portions in Pakistan to avoid the security and permission issues. u00a0
