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.

Katrina Kaif Hot in Kabir Khan's Next Romentic Project?

Katrina Kaif new Film News: After making two serious films (  Kabul Express  and  New York  ) Kabir Khan is now ready to explore another genre.

He will try his hand at a romantic film and has apparently approached Katrina Kaif for the female lead, while the male lead is still under consideration.

Our source said, “Kabir made two serious films and it was expected that he would now make a romantic film. This will be his last in the three-film deal with Yash Raj Films. Kabir has finalised the script and has also approached Katrina Kaif. He is scheduled to meet Aditya Chopra to finalise the cast next week after which the film will be announced.”

While Kabir Khan did not deny the news, he wasn’t very forthcoming with the details either. He said, “I have just come back from a vacation and yes, I have finalised the script but I am not allowed to speak about it.”

When asked if the film will be a romance, he said, “Yes, my film definitely has a strong element of romance in it but it’s too early to talk about it.”

When asked about the casting and if he has approached Katrina Kaif, he said, “I am scheduled to meet Adi soon and we will finalise the casting after that. Nothing is confirmed as of now. I have just finished the script, so the question of casting does not arise at all.”
