Casting coup by Farah

[Monday, November 23, 2009]

Farah Khan, who would be directing Akshay Kumar for 'Tees Maar Khan' has managed to sign Akki's lucky mascot Katrina Kaif for the lead role opposite him.

Both Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif share a good rapport and buzz is that the movies starring both together have never failed to create a magic at the box office.

Though Farah had initially denied approaching Katrina, the fact that she decided to do a movie with Akshay instead of SRK has let loose rumours that it would be Katrina Kaif playing the female lead. Farah Khan can be credited for introducing Deepika Padukone to filmdom with 'Om Shanthi Om'. If she emerges successful in casting Akki and Kat, her battle would be won even before she gets down to shoot, say sources in the industry.
