David Dhawan: Katrina has been dropped from Partner sequel
The other day StarBoxOffice reported that Katrina was being dropped from Salman's new film. We weren't surprised, till we caught up with director David Dhawan, who had this to say.

"We dropped Katrina from the film since we wanted to cast two new actresses (read wannabes) as it will feel the same if you make the sequel with the same cast."
That is indeed a little strange, and a worrying matter since most sequel cash it on the original cast to draw in the crowd.
So what is the logic to this sudden shift in casting, which has gone ouch!
"We think making a sequel with the same cast will not excite the audience so much. It's not a personal grudge, we have not taken Lara either."
What explains the Salman-Govinda combo retained in the film then?
"Salman-Govinda are the USP of the film. How can you drop them?" he throws us off-kilter. Sure, we understand.
How many will go to see Partner 2 is not what we are concerned about. We think Partner 2 will be great, since both the actors will not have their leading ladies to romance, so them turning the heat on together might be a thing to watch out for.
Guys at Dostana Part 2, watch out!
