'Partner 2' without Katrina Kaif

'Partner 2' without Katrina Kaif

After reports of a sequel to 'Partner' being confirmed, the one question that every one had was whether the cast will remain the same or not.

It is official now, Sohail Khan Productions' sequel to 'Partner' - titled Partner 2 - will not have Katrina Kaif in the lead. Producer and actor Sohail Khan confirmed the news as he said, "The sequel to 'Partner' will have the same leading actors - Salman and Govinda but this time, we are looking for different leading ladies."

David Dhawan, Director of 'Partner', is now working on the script of 'Partner 2' - which will go on the floors in March or latest April, next year (2009). After 'Partner 2', Dhawan is slated to do another film for Sohail Khan Productions, tentatively titled 'Amar Akbar Anthony'.

Katrina had an important role in 'Partner', released in 2007, where she played the unattainable beauty that Govinda lusted after. Salman played the 'Love Guru', who helped Govinda attain her.

This time, obviously, it will have to be another beauty. Is it a blow for Katrina's flourishing career? Well, considering Katrina has been heard saying, that she doesn't want to do films with Salman any more - perhaps not.
