MUMBAI: Here’s a turn for the book. A recent development in Bollywood gives a new twist to the Katrina Kaif-Ranbir Kapoor business. The sexy actress has apparently pulled out of a film with the Kapoor scion for Imtiaz Ali in favour of hottie Hrithik Roshan in Zoya Akhtar’s next.

Don’t put two and two together and make 22! It’s just that Katz could not give dates to both directors. She would love to do Imtiaz’s film with Ranbir, naturally, but Zoya was offering her a role and a co-star that Katz just couldn’t say no to. Yes, Katz and Ranbir are cute on screen, but she and Hrithik — two of Bollywood’s most beautiful — will be a hot, new jodi.

Katz, incidentally, finds herself with a clutch of films and no dates on hand. She begins shooting for Tees Maar Khan soon and then Dostana 2. But right now, the buzz is about Zoya’s film. The industry is wondering whether Hrithik will also have hot kissing scenes with Katz after his experiences with Latino bombshell Barbara Mori in Kites.
