Imran Khan and Katrina Kaif have finally signed a film that will go on floors next month. After Sanjay Gadhvi's 7 Days In Paris ran into financial trouble and Emraan Hashmi replaced Imran Khan in Dibakar's next, Yash Raj Films has signed Imran Khan and Katrina for their next. Though still untitled, the film will be directed by debutante Ali Abbas Zafar (As reported by Mumbai Mirror yesterday). Ali has written the script and the film will be the next one to go on floors under the YRF banner as early as next month.
Yes, YRF has got a fresh new face in Imran but the actor too has benefited from this deal. As reported earlier, Sanjay Gadhvi's film ran into financial trouble and Emraan Hashmi replaced Imran Khan in Dibakar's political thriller. Apparently, Imran and Dibakar intend to do a film eventually but that's for later. In the meantime, the two debacles have seemingly brought luck to both Imran and Katrina. Our source said, "This is the first time Imran will work in a YRF Film. The film was not scheduled to start earlier but since Katrina had bulk dates to give, considering Dostana 2 was postponed, Imran also agreed and the film is ready to take off immediately.
Imran Khan confirmed, "I am happy to be a part of the film and to be working with YRF. I love the way Adi functions. I also liked the way Ali has visualised his script." |
