The actress' representatives have released a statement saying the dates for the new film overlap with the dates Kat had allotted to Bharat, so she's had to give up the dance film. Even T-Series honcho Bhushan Kumar, who is bankrolling both projects, confirmed that the situation arose because the shooting schedule of Bharat has extended and Katrina was left with no choice but to give up the film with Varun.
Industry insiders are saying Katrina is miffed at Varun and the film's producers for not being accommodative of her situation'. She's reportedly told close friends that Varun only had to agree to delay the start of the film by a month and she could easily do it, but he seems insistent on an end- January start, which doesn't work for her. Sources in the know are saying there has to be more to it. After all, a call from Katrina's good friend' and Bharat co-star Salman Khan asking Varun or Bhushan to postpone the start of the film would sort everything out. And yet that hasn't happened. Which can only mean one of two things: that Katrina herself doesn't really want to do the movie and is making excuses to get out of it, or that Varun isn't exactly dying for her to do it.
