The latest reports doing the rounds is that Salman Khan is going all out to ensure that his girlfriend Katrina Kaif does not work with Shahid Kapur. It is believed that the actor has called director Rajkumar Santoshi and asked him to drop Shahid from his film.
Salman has been very upset with Katrina for signing a film opposite Shahid. What has really got the actor's goat is the fact that Katrina has stopped consulting him on her career moves. Considering the fact that Salman was the one who smoothened her entry into Bollywood, the actor feels that he has enough reason to be miffed. Few know that when an unknown Katrina came to Mumbai, she was first introduced to Govinda by Boney Duggal. As Govinda's career was floundering at that time, Duggal went ahead and introduced her to Salman and the actor took over. According to sources, Santoshi intends to approach Ranbir Kapoor for the role. Of course the director was diplomatic enough to say that he at the moment the film is not his priority as he is currently working on Ashoka. He also said that Shahid and he were keen to work with each other but right now Ashoka was the focus of his attention. It's only after he is through with Ashoka will he think of his next film. He also denied that Salman was applying pressure on him to replace Shahid from his project.
