The film will go on the floor once Vikram completes his current project, ?Bheema?, says the buzz.Kaif made her southern debut with a Telugu film titled ?Malleswari? costarring Venkatesh .Then she hopped on to neighbouring Mollywood to rub shoulders with megastar Mammootty in the IV Sasi-directed Balram Vs Taradas . The film was an above-average success.Let us hope her foray into Tamil cinema will be crowned with success.Here is wishing all strength to your elbow, Katrina.

Katrina says her dream boy is not Salman!!

Everybody under the sun in India knows that Salman and Katrina are good lovers. Salman found great relief with Katrina after he had tasted bitterness with Sangeetha Bijalani and Aishwarya Rai. But when Katrina was asked who his dream boy is she stated that it was Christian Bale. She said that she likes sex appeal in him. Will it hurt Salman again? She also said that she sees many nightmares during nights and that is a sign of her evil mindedness. Can Salman survive happily with her in long term relation? That's how Katrina shelled bullets indirectly on Salman.

Finally Katrina Kaif is talking!!

Finally, Katrina Kaif is Talking!Model-turned-Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif, who will be recording her own dialogues for the first time in Hindi films, says that it took some effort to get the accent right, news reports said.London-born Kaif also lost some weight to get the right look for her modern character in her new film "Namaste London. "I also get to say my own dialogues, though it has taken some time,'' Kaif was quoted as saying.Dialogues for most Bollywood movies are dubbed, or recorded separately and film makers often use voiceover artists for actors who are unable to emote their own lines.Kaif, who has a British mother and an Indian father, worked as a model in London and India before she made her Bollywood debut in 2003.After a couple of brief supporting parts in Bollywood movies, Kaif has begun playing lead roles. Her last major releases were "Humko Deewana Kar Gaye'' and "Sarkar'' . She has also starred in Telugu and Tamil-language films.

Katrina's fatty fight

Katrina Kaif recently went to a designer to get a dress designed for her. Unfortunately, the dress didn’t turn up perfect. Instead of acknowledging his mistake, the designer passed on the blame on Katrina saying that she was too fat!! What happened next? Ma’am Kaif called her macho boyfriend (Our very own Sallu Bhai) and Salman immediately appeared giving a hell of a time to the designer who sweared not to make such a comment again. The moral of the story? Get the details of the boyfriend before designing any clothe for a lady!!!

Katrina kaif on a roll

Katrina Kaif has proved her detractors wrong with her acting in Vipul Shah’s movie Namastey London . And now she has signed a big movie to be made by Subhash Ghai .

Not long ago, Katrina was labeled as “a silent beauty” because she could not speak fluent Hindi and therefore got her dialogues dubbed in movies. Critics also claimed that she did not know how to act and that she had an expressionless face.

Though Katrina has been part of successful films like Maine Pyar Kyon Kiya and Sarkar , her roles in these films were not big enough for her to take much credit for the movie’s good run. But in ‘Namastey London’ she shares equal footage as the movie’s hero Akshay Kumar.

And now, filmmaker Subhash Ghai has signed Katrina for his next film titled Main Yuvraj . The film will have three heroes: Salman Khan , Anil Kapoor and Zayed Khan .

It is believed that Ghai was quite impressed by Katrina’s work in ‘Namastey London’ and decided to cast her in the role of a modern girl who is passionate about music. In Ghai’s words, Katrina suits the role perfectly.

Katrina will have to learn a musical instrument for her role in ‘Main Yuvraj’. She is presently shooting for Abbas Mastan’s movie Race after which she will begin preparing for her role in Ghai’s film.

‘Main Yuvraj’ will be an out-and-out musical film. A R Rahman will compose its music. Ghai himself will produce and direct the film.

The movie will go on the floors in the first week of June this year.

Katrina Kaif signs her biggest deal for Rs. 1 crore ($220,000).

Katrina’s career may be going great guns, as she has six movies in hand, but her biggest signing amount has this time come from down South. Kat has just signed a movie opposite Tamil Superstar Vikram of Anniyan fame; the movie is being directed by Susi Ganesan and produced by Tahanu.

The kismet boomed for Katrina as she restarted her career in South, as her debut in the Telugu movie ‘Malliswari’, the actress was paid a whooping Rs. 60 lakhs ($150,000) in which she played the protagonist Princess Malliswari. Katrina is currently with some big banner movies like Vipul Shah’s ‘Namastey London’, Sohail Khan’s ‘Partner’, Firoz Nadiawala’s ‘Welcome’ to name a few.

While Kat is getting all the name and fame in Bollywood the real Moola comes from the South and that’s the reason she is seem smiling as she greets “Welcome” and “Namastey” to South AKA ‘Kollywood’.

Katrina receives a big “Yes” from Subhash Ghai and a “No” from Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

In life you win some you lose some' and this sure is a thought that Katrina is pondering on lately as the actress has managed to bag a Subhash Ghai movie also being directed by the showman himself but, at the same time Kat has lost a chance to act in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s forthcoming movie.

Kat will soon be working in Subhash Ghai’s project ‘Mein Yuvraj’ in which she is paired opposite Salman Khan. Her character in the movie is that of an NRI girl which apparently also happens to be one of the reasons Mr. Ghai signed her for the role.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who was contemplating casting Katrina in his shelved movie ‘Bajirao Mastani’, has finally given up on the idea of casting Kat as based on industry insiders the director is not convinced of Kat’s histrionics.

Katrina is however; very excited to act in ‘Mein Yuvraj’ in which her co-stars would be Anil Kapoor and Zayed Khan besides Salman Khan. The showman Subhash Ghai is famous for presenting his actresses in a great way and we are sure he has some big plans on presenting Kat in a glamorous way in his musical as well.

So Kat may have heard, “Alvida” from Sanjay Leela Bhansali but, she is beamingly saying, “Namaste” to the showman.
