Imran Chopped Katrina’s Role


Katrina Kaif and Imran Khan

Director Sanjay Gadhvi made changes into the script of his upcoming film 7 Days in Paris according to lead actor Imran Khan’s suggestion, which eventually made the female lead Katrina Kaif unhappy.

For the first time the pair was slated to work together and Katrina was very excited about the film. But later when she learnt that the final script is something different from what it was narrated to her; it made her to think one more time over the project.

One source revealed, “Studio 18 had roped in Imran and Katrina for the film directed by Gadhvi. Katrina was very kicked about the film and rehearsed for it enthusiastically. The costumes were finalized and the film was set to roll from June 25. Meanwhile, Imran suggested some changes to the script, which reduced Katrina’s role considerably. This did not go down too well with her. Considering that she is playing major roles in all her other films, she had second thoughts about doing bit roles. So she eventually bowed out of the film. Katrina already has a two-film deal with the production house and will work with them in some other film. The makers are now searching for a replacement for her.”

Gadhvi has no choice but to listen to Imran after the disastrous Kidnap fail to wow the audience. “When Imran worked with Gadhvi in Kidnap, the director had refused to show him even a single frame before its release and the film bombed. So this time, Gadhvi has no choice but to bow down to the diktat of the actor,” added the source.

When asked to Katrina, she answered diplomatically, “I am in talks about the film and have a great working relationship with Studio 18, but let the script materialise first. Then we will take a call.”

However, the director was not available to comment.
