Katrina will not romance Salman in Prabhu Deva's film

Actress Katrina Kaif has not been signed opposite superstar Salman Khan for Prabhu Deva's next film, the makers have said.

After setting the cash registers ringing at the box office and starting a new wave of action-masala entertainers with 'Wanted', Salman and choreographer-turned-director Prabhu Deva are teaming up for a film, to be produced by Tips.

Rumours were doing the rounds that Prabhu Deva's film will bring Salman and Katrina back on screen again.

"We have not signed Katrina for the film. We have not thought of who the leading lady will be opposite Salman. We are still working on the script. The story is not yet completed," Ramesh Taurani of Tips told PTI.

Salman and Katrina were last seen in 'Ek Tha Tiger'. Since Salman has a packed schedule, the shooting for the film will begin next year.

Taurani is quite excited about his upcoming Shahid Kapoor starrer 'Phata Poster Nikla Hero'. Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, the film also stars Ilena D'Cruz and releases on September 20.

"The film has all the ingredients that audience would look for - right from romance, drama, action, song and dance. We loved the story and hence decided to back it. It is a clean and neat complete family entertainer film," Taurani said.
