Perhaps this is what that has impressed producer Karan Johar who has roped Katrina for Dostana 2. Karan initially had planned to retain the same cast as Dostana. But Katrina’s performance in New York has left Karan highly impressed and after the survey where she was rated the sexiest Bollywood actress Karan decided to have her on board. Karan has heard a lot of positive nature of the actress but for Katrina it is a privilege to be a part of Dharma Productions.
According to the latest B-town news, Tarun Mansukhani the director of Dostana is working on the plot and wants an engrossing storyline to support the flick. It is believed that Abhishek looks forward to Dostana as a brand, which requires a sequel. A source says, “Katrina was chosen to play the female lead after much deliberation. Dharma Productions has auditioned dozens of new girls. Actually, they wanted a fresh face for Dostana 2. But finally, after a tedious Google search, they felt that Katrina’s ‘most hit’ status on the Internet makes it apt for her to play the role of the ‘most hit’ girl by the boys in Dostana 2.” However, Priyanka Chopra may not return for Dostana 2 as her role is reportedly being shortened to a mere cameo. Apart from Dostana 2 Katrina Kaif will also star with Abhishek Bachchan in the Bollywood remake of The Hangover.
But wait for the icing on the cake, there’s a treat for everyone’s eyes. The dream jodi of Yash Raj Films blue-eyed boy Shah Rukh Khan and the nation’s favourite Barbie girl Katrina will finally be seen together. We have learnt that YRF has caught the two stars for their film, which will be made early next year. Either Aditya Chopra or Kabir Khan will direct the film.
The project has been in the pipeline for a long time and rumours have been doing rounds for a while now too, but this time, it’s for real, the deal has been inked. However, Salman Khan’s shadow looms large over the pair. While the two Khans warred openly at Katrina’s birthday party, most thought that they would never get to see SRK and Katrina in the same frame ever. But YRF seems to have done it.
Our source reveals, “Katrina definitely has it going for her. SRK, on the other hand, has remained in the safe zone — as far as heroines are concerned — for a long time. Be it Rani Mukerji or Preity Zinta, he has stuck to his regulars and has worked with them repeatedly. He needs to be a tad more adventurous about his co-stars, and that’s where Katrina comes into the picture.”
Katrina, on her side, has taken the pains to make it clear that she will never allow personal issues to chart her career. Whatever the status of Salman’s relationships with others, she will not allow that to come in the way of decision-making.
