Sonakshi in, Katrina Kaif out of Salman Khan’s life

Reports from the B Town indicate that after splitting up with Katrina Kaif, Salman is out to pull the plug of his influence from her career.

Sources have said that Kat wanted to star in the upcoming flick ‘Dabangg’ as an item girl in the street-smart number ‘Munni Budnaam Hui’. But the appearance was instead passed on to Malaika Arora Khan, Salman’s sister-in-law.

“We actually thought of someone else for this song but eventually decided that Malaika would be the best,” Salman told us, not revealing who the ‘someone’ was.

In fact, as soon as the video of ‘Dabangg’ released, there was a fresh controversy as Salman and Malaika are seen dancing suggestively in it. But that is acting, of course.

Not just that, Salman did not propose Katrina’s name for lead in his ‘Dabanggg.’ That role went to Sonakshi Sinha, the daughter of Shatrughan Sinha.

The two were seen in close company on the sets of film- and not just acting as per the script.
“Salman is a wonderful painter. Whenever he found himself free he started painting and I used to go and join him,” Sonakshi told a daily. It didn’t end there.

“Salman used to give me a theme and I used to paint accordingly, and when we see the final output, we used to find both the painting same. I never copied him but I think our style of painting is the same,” said the debutant actress.

However, what happened with Katrina is just a temporary act is not for sure. The lady was set to play the lead in the under-production film The Italian Job, being directed by Abbas-Mustan.

But all of a sudden, producer Aditya Chopra changed his mind and it might go in favour of Sonakshi Sinha, the daughter of Shatrughan Sinha.

But the change of minds and attitudes does not seem one sided. A source on the sets of Zoya Akhtar’s Zindaggi Milegi Na Dubara that stars Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif as the leap pair has revealed reports of sizzling chemistry between the two.

Meanwhile Sonakshi was recently spotted with Salman Khan’s parents. She had gone to watch film Tere Bin Laden in a special screening of the films with the Khans at Ketnav Preview Theater located Pali Hill, Khar, Mumbai.
