Of late, Bollywood has been buzzing with reports that Katrina Kaif has been signed on to play the female lead opposite superstar Akshay Kumar in filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s next directorial venture Sooryavanshi.
However, Kaif has now quashed all the rumours of reteaming with Khiladi Kumar after Farah Khan’s Tees Maar Khan (2010). The only project that the actress has in her hand at the moment is superstar Salman Khan’s Bharat.
When asked if she has signed Sooryavanshi, Katrina said, “No, no, I have not signed any film after Bharat. I am only reading and listening to scripts. Right now my focus is only on Bharat. Bharat is quite a strong role and I am enjoying the whole process, from the prep work to shooting the major portion. The film pans across a few years. I am learning a lot. I am quite excited and having a fulfilling experience on sets.”
Also starring Disha Patani, Nora Fatehi, Tabu, Suniel Shetty, Jackie Shroff and Sunil Grover, Bharat is helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar. The film is slated to enter into cinemas on 5th June, on the auspicious occasion of Eid.
