Sop sob
Says a source, "This is one of those rare occasions that a heroine's track has been chopped from a film, while there are three more actresses whose portions have been kept. Katrina was slated to shoot for the film this month. They decided to do away with her role as the other actresses have already shot for the film (Deepika, Bipasha and Minissha have completed schedules in Mumbai and Australia). That's why Yash Raj offered her another film as a sop, so she doesn't feel upset. She signed John's film last week. Salman knew she was doing John's film and in fact, had told her she should do it. Salman doesn't want his personal equations to come in the way of Katrina's career."
Too long
Yash Raj Films spokesperson Monica Bhattacharya confirms that Katrina's track has been taken out from Siddharth Anand's as-yet untitled film.
She says, "Siddharth Anand's next film which is slated to release later this year is a story about a man (Ranbir) and the four women he meets. Sixty per cent of the film has already been shot and we found the story was becoming too long. As a result we decided to do away with one girl's character altogether. Katrina's character was the only one that has not yet been shot, so we decided to do away with her character."
Kat goes Blue
Katrina replaces Priyanka Chopra
Priyanka Chopra has seen red in Blue! She is no longer a part of Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision's film due to obvious reasons. As reported 'Akshay-Priyanka back together' (HiTLIST, February 9) Akki was keen on Piggy Chops doing Blue, directed by adfilmmaker Tony. It is learnt that Akshay's wife Twinkle does not want her hubby to feature in a film opposite Priyanka with whom he was rumouredly linked.
Says a source, "When Blue was first conceived, there was scope for only one heroine — Lara Dutta. Later a role was created especially for Priyanka — at Akshay's behest."
With Priyanka stepping out, the producers immediately pencilled in on Katrina. This will be Akshay and Katrina's fifth film together.
Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision spokesperson, Parag Desai confirms that Katrina is doing Blue.
He says, "Katrina and Sunil Shetty have been signed recently for Blue."
