The grapevine is abuzz with the speculation that Saif Ali Khan and Ranbir Kapoor will enact stellar roles in Sajid Nadiadwala's next film, to be directed by Siddharth Raj Anand [SALAAM NAMASTE, TA RA RUM PUM, currently directing Yash Raj's Ranbir Kapoor starrer]. True?
“The casting will follow once I am through with the script. I haven't completed writing yet. Even actors don't sign projects till they have a bound script on hand,” Siddharth tells me. Is it a two-hero film? “Yes, it is and we plan to start in October/November this year,” he states, adding in the same breath, “Earlier, there were rumors that Salman and Saif were roped for the project, now it's Saif and Ranbir… the speculation continues. We're still finalizing.”
Meanwhile, Siddharth has deleted the Katrina track from the Yash Raj project that he's making currently. “The film was getting very lengthy, so we decided to do away with the track. Hence, Katrina's not a part of the film any longer,” he states. The as yet untitled film [“we haven't found a suitable title yet”] now stars Ranbir, Bipasha, Deepika and Minisha.

Yash Raj’s upcoming film to be directed by Siddharth Anand had an ensemble cast of four gorgeous girls Bipasha Basu, Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif and Minnisha Lamba romancing Ranbir Kapoor. But from what we hear now, Katrina Kaif has been dropped out of the project.
Siddharth Anand confirms the news, “Yes Katrina is not part of the film. Her character has been removed due to the length of the film. The film was getting too long. So I decided to remove her character from the film.”
This comes in as a surprise to us especially when Yash Raj had recently signed a two film deal with Katrina and also issued a press release regarding the same.
It is also believed that Katrina, who shared cold vibes with Bipasha Basu on the sets of Abbas Mastan’s Race, wasn’t really keen to share screen space with Bipasha again. “I will not like to comment on that because Katrina didn’t even shoot for my film”, says Siddharth Anand. “It was completely my decision to remove Katrina’s character and Katrina being a professional understands that it was a complete professional decision”.
