But Bollywood is the best endorsement ground for the saying, Never say Never! Rajkumar Santoshi, fresh from the super-success of ‘Ajab Prem ki Gazab Kahani’, wants to make another romantic comedy with Katrina Kaif. He wants Abhishek in his film and this time Ash had no other choice but to relent. The Junior B doesn’t have a hit since ‘Paa’. Even that film’s success can be attributed to the award-winning performance of paa Amitabh. Abhishek’s solo films, ‘Raavan’ and ‘Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey’, tanked before the glue on the posters could dry up.
Katrina and Abhishek had previously worked together in Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Sarkar’. But that happened before Abhi-Ash came together as a couple. Katrina side-stepped the issue saying that she was waiting for a romantic flick with Abhishek. I must tell you here that Ash had asked Abhishek not to sign up for Karan Johar’s ‘Dostana 2’ because Karan wanted Katrina in the film. Rajkumar Santoshi will surely pick Katrina for his film, if he had to choose between her and Abhishek. So Ash took a step back and agreed. Meanwhile, Katrina is miffed with media reports that she spent New Year’s Eve with Salman Khan’s family in Dubai. She stated that she was busy rehearsing for a stage show and if she was free, she’d rather have gone to London to her family.
