Who`s in `Paris` with Imran?

When the makers of 7 Days in Paris signed the current Bollywood sweetie Katrina Kaif opposite the Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na hottie Imran Khan, hey definitely thought they had managed a coup. Katrina and Imran, two good-looking people, were the perfect match for a love story to be shot in the romantic capital of the world and their combination made good business sense. But, tut, tut, there seems to be some trouble in paradise. When the workshops for the film started, news leaked out that Katrina wasn’t comfortable with the verbose Hindi dialogue written for her because she’s a bit too anglicised; so she requested director Sanjay Gadvi to have her portions rewritten. And, after that, Katrina stopped going to the film workshop completely according to reports, giving rise to rumours that she was opting out. Next, news leaked out that Katrina wasn’t keen on the film at all because she had been approached by director Siddharth Anand to do a film with Yash Chopra’s production opposite Ranbir Kapoor, who is the new generation superstar. An insider says, “Both Siddharth and Sanjay want the same dates from Katrina. And, she may need to choose one project over another.’’ BT called Katrina and her spokesperson replied, “Because the multiplex strike has been called off and her film New York is releasing, Katrina is busy with the promotions. As far as 7 Days in Paris is concerned — the producers and Katrina will take a call on everything pertaining to it in two weeks’ time. The script team is still working on the changes, so a clear picture will emerge only after all the details are worked out.’’
