| With Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra booked for a post-Diwali performance in Dubai in December, Shah Rukh Khan is all set to snatch Salman's ex Katrina Kaif for his stage shows in the same city.
Mirror has found out that at least two event organisers have approached Shah Rukh for a performance. When they asked him to suggest who he would like to pair up on stage with, Katrina's name popped up. What's more, even the actress is keen to perform with her latest costar.
"We had asked Shah Rukh for an available date for the performance. We were told that in case we were looking for a leading lady to perform alongside the actor, we should approach Katrina. Of course, we had to approach the actress separately through her office. However, it was made clear to us that Katrina is willing to be paired up with Shah Rukh on stage," the head honcho of an event management company told us.
Rashid Saeed, who had organised several events for Shah Rukh in the past including the RA.One world premiere in Dubai, is gearing up to pair SRK-Kat on stage. When we got in touch with him, he confirmed that he is in the final leg of planning a stage-show with Shah Rukh and Katrina in UAE.
"We put the proposal across to Katrina and were told that she is keen to perform with Shah Rukh. However, we are waiting for the actor's confirmed dates. We have done shows with Shah Rukh-Priyanka and Shah Rukh-Kareena but for the first time that will be getting Katrina with Shah Rukh on stage. We are excited," Rashid said over phone from Dubai.
Katrina's staff too confirmed that she is actively considering a proposal to perform with Shah Rukh on stage. When we contacted her manager, Sandhya Ramachandran, she told us that Katrina has indeed received two invitations to perform abroad that she is "actively considering" at the moment. "There are two back-toback invitations for her to perform. One is in December-end and the other in January. But since we haven't officially given a go-ahead to either, I cannot tell you for sure," Sandhya said.
Sources added that for both the events Katrina is the only name on the list. And no, there is no mention of PeeCee on either.

Sallu-SRK end era of jibes with a jig
After four years of trying not to cross each other's path, Shah Rukh and Salman finally came together.
After the Jab Tak Hai Jaan premiere, the actors who had a rather nasty fallout in 2008, attended the post party. In fact, they were extremely cordial to each other and also danced together. And though, when we heard it, we dismissed it as just another rumour, Shah Rukh's tweets validated the story.
"May Allah bless our film...it looked so beautiful on the big screen.
Had a lovely time dancing partying with all...Amit uncle, Salman, Aamir," wrote SRK on Twitter.
'Amit uncle' too tweeted about the evening: T 930 - Danced my shoes off with all the youngsters... An amazing evening... spending time with Salman, Aamir, Shahrukh, Katrina and Anushka.
A source who was present at the party on Tuesday night, told Mirror, "Salman Khan came for the premiere pretty late.
Shah Rukh had come early and was seen welcoming the guests. When they met, they were rather cordial to each other.
They were seen chatting with Amitji for a long time. Salman and Aamir were seen catching up as well. It was rather nice to see the warring Khans let bygones be and come together for Yashji." |
