Yash Raj wants Salman Khan

Yash Raj wants Salman Khan: Salman Khan hasn’t worked in any Yash Raj film till now and the New York director Kabir Khan wants to change that.

It’s learnt that after seeing the huge success of Dabangg, director Kabir Khan became very eager to work with Sallu in his next which is going to be a romantic drama. As a tabloid reports Yash Raj scion Aditya Chopra too is sending out feelers to Salman for the film.

Everyone knows that Yash Raj’s blue-eyed boy is Shahrukh Khan, who has also given some of the mega hits to the banner. In the past, whenever talks were on between YRF and Salman for any project, things couldn’t materialize.

YRF hasn’t denied that the production house is in talks with stars for various upcoming projects. Kabir was initially interested in John Abraham for the role but now he has made up his mind for Salman.

Let’s see, whether the director can make this happen or not.

Shahrukh Khan as a Villain in Dhoom 3: Yash Raj films is ready to produce the upcoming movie from ‘Dhoom’ franchise. But, the certainty over the director’s chair for the movie is still unknown. Sanjay Gadhvi has decided to quit the movie after directing the first two movies. He has the contract for the three movies but he is not interested to direct the third movie.

Lots of sources are reporting that, the maker of the movie, Aditya Chopra will direct the movie but the news was still not confirmed yet by the makers. Aditya Chopra was the producer for the first two movies and he will also produce the third movie.

One of the sources from inside of the project has reported that, “Dhoom 3 has been in the news for the longest period. While there have been all kinds of speculations about who will direct the film, one thing was always clear that Vijay Krishna Acharya (of Tashan), better known as Victor Acharya, is writing the script.”

There was no confirmation yet that, who will play the negative lead role in the movie. Time of India has reported that, Shahrukh Khan will play the negative role in the ‘Dhoom 3’. SRK is also showing the interest to play the role.

Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra will reprise their original roles for the third movie as well.

Katrina Kaif play a female lead in Kabir Khan's next

Katrina Kaif play a female lead in Kabir Khan's next: New York Film director Kabir Khan is gearing up to direct his next venture with Yash Raj Films. And Katrina Kaif is a strong contender to bag the female lead. "I have locked the script recently. Now, I am feeling a little relieved," says Kabir.

But the interesting question is: will Katrina be the leading lady in his film again after New York? " Nothing is finalised. But yes, she is being considered strongly for the role," says Kabir.

Of late, reports suggested that Kat was all set to sign his film after they were spotted at a posh eatery in Mumbai. "Yes, I met Katrina at a coffee house but that's not a big deal. She is a good friend and we meet whenever we have time. Our meeting doesn't mean that she is doing all my films. But we share a great equation and superb working relationship," clarifies Kabir.

After hard-hitting films like Kabul Express and New York, Kabir is going to alter his story a bit. "It's going to be a little different from what I am known for but it will surely be in the genre I am most comfortable with," adds the director, whose film is going to be the most expensive film Yash Raj has ever produced.

"It will need a big amount because the story demands it. It's simple," he says.
