Director
Kabir
Khan
was
trying
to
cast
Deepika
Padukone
and
Salman
Khan
together
in
his
movie
Tubelight.
But
it
seems
that
Deepika
had
certain
demands
before
signing
the
film
and
Kabir
was
in
no
mood
to
fulfil
them,
which
is
why
he
replaced
her
with
Salman's
ex
girlfriend
Katrina
Kaif.
According
to
a
report
in
DNA,
''Katrina
Kaif
has
been
finalised
to
replace
Deepika
in
the
Kabir
Khan
directorial.
Deepika
was
reportedly
unhappy
with
her
role
and
wanted
Kabir
to
increase
her
portions
in
the
film.
But
Kabir
doesn't
like
altering
his
scripts
according
to
actor's
demands
hence
he
refused
to
budge.''

Later,
Kabir
Khan
approached
his
good
friend
Katrina
Kaif
for
his
film.
The
director
is
now
in
advanced
talks
with
Katrina
and
it's
almost
certain
that
she
will
give
her
nod
to
the
movie.
Talking
about
the
film,
Kabir
Khan
told
a
leading
daily,
''Needless
to
say
that
my
films
always
have
political
backdrops
because
these
are
the
kind
of
stories
that
excited
me.
So,
that's
always
gonna
be
there.
As
far
as
story
goes,
it
is
very
different
to
what
I've
done
so
far.
The
film
is
on
a
territory
that
Salman
and
I
have
not
ventured
yet.
So,
we
are
excited
about
it."
Reportedly,
Katrina
Kaif
is
also
doing
Aanand
L
Rai's
next
film
opposite
Shahrukh
Khan
which
goes
on
the
floors
later
this
year.
Well,
Deepika
Padukone's
loss
seems
to
be
Katrina
Kaif's
gain.
