Found an old and new article on Katrina's choosiness:
Only Khans and Ranbir for Kat

The list of heroes Katrina Kaif has turned down is getting longer by the second. Not many are aware that in the last few months she has turned down Vipul Shah's film with Abhishek Bachchan, Rohit Shetty's Singham with Ajay Devgn, Kunal Kohli's film with Saif Ali Khan (it now has Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra), is still to return Sunny Deol's call asking her to team up with him.
The only heroes Katrina is reportedly keen to team up with are the three Khans (Aamir, Shah Rukh, Salman) and one Kapoor (Ranbir). She even agreed to team up with Imran Khan in Mere Brother Ki Dulhan because Aditya Chopra requested her. All these heroes are naturally smarting.
Says our source, "Whether Kat accepts a film or not is her prerogative. What is really annoying though is that she keeps people waiting for the longest time before she says a 'no'. In the case of Kunal Kohli's film, she apparently kept them waiting for six months before she excused herself."
Debutants stay away

A-list actors in Bollywood these days are more than willing to work with first-time directors, unlike in the past when they would stay a mile away from debutants. One person who still has a problem with newcomers though is Katrina Kaif. The actress has said a complete "no" to working under first-time directors, and has also instructed her team to not entertain offers which involve a debutant at the helm.
"She is in a position to take a call on how she wants to mould her career," says a friend. And considering the intense competition among top-rung actresses, with even a single hit or flop determining a major change in the pecking order — as Priyanka Chopra found out the hard way — every film one takes up is fraught with risk. Kat, it would seem, is in no mood to take any.
"She has become extremely selective about her films. Most producers know that Katrina won't settle for anything but the best, so they are apprehensive about approaching her. She has declined many offers that she was unsure about, but at her level she can certainly afford it," says a source close to her.
