Katrina Kaif is working with all the three Khans – Salman (‘Ek Tha Tiger’), Aamir (‘Dhoom 3′) and Shah Rukh (Yash Raj’s romantic drama also starring Anushka Sharma) – and now there might be more starry associations up ahead for the actress. Apparently, she’d been approached to star in Rohit Shetty’s next opposite SRK, but the twist in the tale is that Kareena Kapoor is also supposedly keen on the same role.

Kareena is, of course, a Rohit Shetty favourite, having starred in the ‘Golmaal’ movies. But Kat’s stock has risen tremendously after her consecutive hits (‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’ and ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’) and it is rumoured that she might be a better fit for the new film from the hotshot ‘Singham’ director. This new project is believed to be an action thriller.

Meanwhile, Kareena is currently celebrating the success of ‘RA.One’ in which she starred opposite Shah Rukh. Bebo and SRK are close friends, and he has admitted that she got the heroine’s role in his home production simply because she said that she wanted it. Priyanka Chopra and Asin had been considered for the part in the early stages of conceptualisation for ‘RA.One’.

So who will win this competition and star in Shah Rukh’s next movie? Katrina Kaif or Kareena Kapoor? Watch this space for updates.

Katrina Kaif is shooting for Yashraj’s Ek Tha Tiger, but she’s also concentrating on her look for Dhoom 3, and guess who is her guide this time? None other than her best friend Salman Khan!

Thankfully, Katrina is not out of shape, but workouts are still essential for her as she is the hot chic of Dhoom 3, and the onus of raising the oomph quotient of the film lies on her tender shoulders. Ever since she has been confirmed for the film, much has been said about her donning a bikini. While there’s no confirmation about Kat sporting a two-piece, sources claim that she will definitely be seen showing off her hot body in the film.

“She may or may not be wearing a bikini, but she will need to look her toned best, as the franchise is high on the ultra-glam looks of the actors as well,” the source is quoted as saying by a tabloid.

So, what Salman Khan has to suggest her? As Katrina is shooting with Salman, the actor is in continuous touch with her. It’s said that Salman has advised Katrina to cycle and swim regularly to tone up without hitting the gym to get that fit fab body.

Dhoom 3 has Aamir Khan playing the baddie. The third instalment of the series would go on floors by December 2011 and is planned for a Christmas 2012 release.

Ever since actor Katrina Kaif has been confirmed for Dhoom 3, there has been much speculation about her donning a bikini for the film, as had the actresses in the previous two installments. But while, there’s no confirmation about Kat sporting the bikini avatar, insiders do reveal that she will definitely be seen showing off her a super-toned hotbod in the film. A source says, “She may or may not be wearing a bikini, but she will need to look her toned best, as the franchise is high on the ultra-glam looks of the actors as well.”

Katrina is well aware of it, but since she has been rushing from one film to another, she has little or no time left to actually concentrate on her work-outs.

According to a source, Katrina has been so busy that she has not even had time to enjoy the successes of her own recent films including Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Mere Brother Ki Dulhan.

“She has been shooting back to back since the past several months now. But her role in Dhoom 3 requires her to look her fittest best and so she’s started working out during her outdoor schedules itself,” says the source.

However, an insider reveals that she is into light exercising and not heavy training. “Katrina wants to tone up her body for Dhoom 3, and luckily for her she is already in good shape. She anyways hates vigorous workouts or starving herself to acquire a lean body or look sexy, so she is just exercising regularly and going in for a healthy diet instead.”

The B-Town hottie had apparently started to work on her bod right when she was shooting with Salman Khan for Ek Tha Tiger in Dublin. “There too she would exercise regularly, eat loads of fruits on time, instead of starving herself and she has also been drinking a lot of water. She is trying her best to catch up on sleep as well,” informs the source, adding that apparently she has also been getting a lot of tips from Salman on the same. “Yes, Salman has advised Katrina to cycle and swim to tone up without hitting the gym to get an overall lean and well-toned body,” says the source.

According to an insider, “From now to that film, she is unlikely to get any time off for herself anyway, as soon after she wraps up Ek Tha Tiger, she’s expected to begin work on her film with Shah Rukh Khan,” says a source.

Interestingly, the film — which also stars Aamir Khan as the baddie — will be her fifth movie with Aditya Chopra’s production house.

“She’s become quite a favourite with the production house as she’s been signed on for four back-to-back films with them. Her professionalism of not letting her personal life interfere with her professional one is what seems to work in her favour too,” says an industry observer.

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, who are in Turkey, shooting for Ek Tha Tiger are safe. More than 200 people died and 1,000 were injured in the 7.2 magnitude quake in Turkey.

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif were busy shooting for Ek Tha Tiger in Istanbul. However, the duo are safe as the earthquake struck Van, which is far away from the place they were shooting. Salman Khan, who was in India for two days to shoot for Bigg Boss 5 landed in Turkey on Sunday morning, which is when the earthquake hit Turkey.

After shooting in Turkey for two months, Salman will apparently fly to Iraq where there will be extensive shooting for the film Ek Tha Tiger. As per sources, certain portions of the film will be shot in the northern border of Iraq and other middle east countries.

Ek Tha Tiger, a spy thriller is slated to be an Eid release and is being shot in five countries. Speaking to a leading website, a source revealed that the action sequence in Ek Tha Tiger will be different from that of Bodyguard and Dabangg and will be more on the lines of Bourne Identity.

Katrina Kaif, who is doing Ek Tha Tiger opposite her ex boyfriend Salman Khan is apparently trying hard to convince Salman to to make a sequel to the comic film Partner. Salman Khan is already doing a couple of sequels – Dabangg, Tere Naam, Wanted.

Though Katrina and Salman’s last film Yuvraaj that released in 2008 failed miserably at the box office, the two are very positive of Ek Tha Tiger. Almost all of Sallu’s recent films have turned out to be blockbusters. Katrina too is going through a very positive phase in her life. Moreover, as per sources, Kat and Sallu get along extremely well on the sets of Ek Tha Tiger and are extremely comfortable with each other. Both are apparently very protective of each other post their breakup.

Wonder if Katrina has any plans to patch up with Salman? What do you think guys?

Why is it so that every second big budget film these days stars either Kareena Kapoor or Katrina Kaif?

About a year ago, this platform had been noticeably broader, including Priyanka Chopra, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Priyanka Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and Kangna Ranaut. The rest of these names still maintain their positions as the top names of Bollywood, but have been left far behind by the leading Queen B’s. Let’s see why this is so:

The ‘heroines’

The way Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif are battling it out right at the top, one wishes that it stays so forever! With both ladies writing and rewriting records with their big-budget, over Rs 100 crore successes, its the top producers who are laughing all the way to the bank.

While Kareena is gaga with the laurels she received from the success of ’3 Idiots’, ‘Golmaal 3′ and ‘Bodyguard’ in quick succession, Katrina knows she is on the dot, with a chartbuster item number like ‘Sheila Ki Jawani’ and the good run of ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ and ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’ on the box office. She now needs a big budget hit like Kareena to reach to the top.

Speaking of future projects, both the actresses have several films lined up with the Khans. ladies have scored the cream However, when it comes to getting the top projects, both Kareena as well as Katrina are pretty much neck to neck. Both of them are enjoying a piece of each of the Khans. In the bargain, Shah Rukh Khan (‘Ra.One’, an untitled film with Yash Chopra), Aamir Khan (‘Dhuaan’, ‘Dhoom 3′), Salman Khan (‘Bodyguard’, ‘Ek Tha Tiger’) as well as Imran Khan (‘Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu’, ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’) are enjoying the best of both worlds. Only Saif Ali Khan (‘Agent Vinod’) has placed his loyalities firmly with Kareena.

Ex-lovers Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif are still inseparable. The couple might have broken up, but whenever Katrina needs help she always turns to Salman.

On her recent visit to London, when Katrina had trouble reaching her hotel before the premiere of her film Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, her ex beau-cum-best friend saved her day.

Problems started for Katrina after she landed in London from Abu Dhabi, where she had to attend a promotional event first.

The half-hour drive extended to one-and-half hours and Katrina had no idea how far was she from the hotel.

A source explained, “The driver of the car organised for her by Yash Raj Films turned out to be a novice who didn’t know the roads well enough. After being driven around for an hour and a half, Katrina got so irritated that she called for a taxi service. And while waiting for the other cab to arrive, she also called Salman to apprise him of her situation.” The actor was shooting for Kabir Khan’s Ek Tha Tiger at that time.

Soon after the other taxi arrived, Katrina hauled her luggage and headed straight to a hotel in South Kensington, where Salman was staying, revealed the source. She requested Salman to organise a car for her with a chauffeur who knew the roads well.

It is learnt that when she reached her hotel later, the representatives of YRF were profusely apologetic for the inconvenience caused to her.

“But Katrina had had enough and she was so upset that she didn’t want to use any transport being arranged by YRF for her to get to the premiere venue,” the source added further.

Unfortunately for Katrina, her troubles didn’t end there. It seems the team of Mere Brother Ki Dulhan reached over an hour late for the premiere. And also, the premiere didn’t go as well as they expected.

“Maybe it wasn’t promoted very well, so naturally the movie’s team was surprised that the crowd wasn’t as huge as they had anticipated. Since they had reached late, they couldn’t spend much time at the venue either because they had to catch a flight to Mumbai,” the source informed.

However, by the time Katrina reached the airport, the check-in counters for her return flight had closed. “Obviously, she wasn’t too pleased with the way her day was going,” the source said, adding that fortunately for her, help came in the form of her co-actor Imran Khan.

“Although he was returning by another airline, Imran helped Katrina secure a reservation on Oman Air, with a stop-over at Muscat,” the source added.

In between his trips to the US for surgery, Salman finds time to romance Katrina in Ireland, writes Nimisha Tiwari

Work comes first for Salman Khan. And everyone knows that. Despite gruelling pain pangs due to trigeminal neuralgia, a facial nerve problem, he went ahead with the shoot schedule in Ireland for Ek Tha Tiger.

Paired opposite his former beau Katrina Kaif, the fun quotient was evidently high on the sets in Ireland. And when Kat’s around, it’s go to get smoking hot around. Sources say that the duo were very friendly and cordial with each other. Amongst others, who came to meet the Bollywood actors, the tourism ministry of Ireland also extended a warm welcome to the cast and crew there. In fact, one of the clap shots was flagged off by Ireland tourism ministers in a location called Dublin. The film is scheduled to be released worldwide on June 1, 2012.

As per sources, the babelicious babe was required to ride a bicycle for a particular sequence in the film, and unfortunately, Kaif lost her balance and tripped off the cycle, thereby exposing her panty.

Nevertheless, her former beau and now ‘good friend’ Salman Khan, as usual, came to her rescue at the time of this unfortunate incident.

There’s been no disturbance during the shooting, says Katrina
While earlier tabloids had reported that the unit of ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ has been troubled by a local union, recently Katrina, the heroine of the film, claimed the reports to be false by stating that there hasn’t been any kind of disturbance during the film’s shooting.

“This is the first time I am hearing of this. What trouble? Which workers’ strike? We’ve been shooting here uninterrupted since we arrived. There’s been absolutely no disturbance of any kind.

“In fact, the local people here are very supportive. They go out of their way to make us feel at home,” the actress told reporters.

About ‘Ek Tha Tiger’
The Salman-Katrina starrer ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ is being directed by Kabir Khan.

The movie produced by Yash Raj Films is slated to release by June 1, next year.

Katrina Kaif, after going back and forth several times, had finally decided to decline Ayaan Mukerji’s offer to star in his next film opposite Ranbir Kapoor (Mumbai Mirror, 30 July 2011).

While ‘date problems’ and ‘pending projects’ were the major reasons cited for her refusal of the offer, the industry is abuzz with rumours of Salman Khan being the one person behind his ex-girlfriend’s decision.

Katrina, who is busy with Salman starrer Ek Tha Tiger and Yash Chopra’s next directorial venture opposite Shah Rukh Khan was apparently asked by Salman to opt out of Ayaan’s next project with Dharma.
