So, when Salman Khan gives an order it has to be followed and there are no two ways about it. He’s the Bhai of Bollywood and can shoot up box-office numbers like few other stars. So when he says something you listen.
And what exactly is Salmans new demand?
Buzz is, he clearly told Yash Raj Films recently that he will not work with his ex Katrina Kaif. Katrina was being considered to play his leading lady in Sultan produced by YRF. He then went on to suggest Deepika Padukones name.
This is not the first time that Salman has refused to work with Katrina. He had asked Bajrangi Bhaijaan director Kabir Khan to not cast her in the film. Instead, Salman recommended his friend Kareena Kapoor.
Now, Katrina and Kabir are good friends having worked on New York and Ek Tha Tiger but our guess is that when Salman says 'no' it means 'NO'.
Salmans refusal to work with Katrina comes as a surprise because they have been more than cordial in the past. Katrina played an integral role in Salmans sister Arpitas wedding. Recently, Katrina even said that Salman has been an important part of her life and career. Not to mention that people have liked their onscreen pairing.
But Katrinas loss may turn out to be Deepikas gain. There are whispers in the industry that Salman wants her as his heroine for Sultan and Shudhi as well.
Deepika could not be a part of Karan Johars Shudhi since her dates clashed with Sanjay Leela Bhansalis Bajirao Mastani. That, however, is not happening anymore which means her dream of working with Salman might actually turn into reality.
Shouldn't she be thanking Katrina for that? Well...
