Salman V/S Katrina… the battle begins!

Well, if the headline prompted you of an ‘apparent’ lover’s tiff between Bollywood’s one of the most popular couples Sallu-Kats and that you are now reading this story to get a juicy gossip on the same, we regret our word usage!

We have no beans to spill on their romantic liaison, or forged stories to tell on their ‘trouble in paraside’ nor Indiatimes has ever chosen to create any sort of cheap controversy for a few clicks (in internet lingo it is equivalent to TRP’s)

To cut the long story short, we at Indiatimes Movies mean business and that is exactly what we are reporting about!

Katrina Kaif who is all set to perform at JW Marriott in Mumbai for the forthcoming new year’s eve for a whopping one crore this year is all set to battle it out with beau Salman, as he will be performing at Sahara Star, another five star hotel on the same day according to our sources.

“Salman has been in talks with Sahara Star as they had approached him to perform for the New Year’s Eve and the money that they are offering him is not out as yet. Salman will be joined by Arbaaz , Sohail and Malaika”, revealed our source.

We spoke to Katrina’s business manager Sandhya to get a clearer picture and she said, “I am not aware about Salman but yes Katrina is performing at JW. Bosco is choreographing her act which will have few songs of hers. Since both Katrina and Bosco are in Goa to shoot for Rajkumar Santoshi’s film ‘Ajab Prem Ki Gajab kahani’ the meeting of the selection of songs for her act has not yet happened. It will only happen when she back from Goa in a few days as she will be back to Mumbai to promote Yuvvraaj soon.”

When probed about the huge money that Katrina has asked for the show Sandhya retorted, “I am not aware of it. Also the duration for the show is not exactly known but last year Bipasha performed on two songs for few minutes, Katrina cannot perform for an hour. Also as far Katrina shuttling to another venue to perform in another show is concerned, the event organizers itself wont like it. There is no question of Katrina willing or not willing to share the stage with anyone (Salman).”

When we spoke to Salman’s spokesperson Alok Mathur he replied, “Nothing has been confirmed about the show as yet. The talks might be on.” However, when we messaged Malaika Arora Khan about the same she almost confirmed the news saying, “I am not performing at that event but Arbaaz might.”

Last year it was Rakhi who outsold Bipasha and made more profit for Sahara inspite of the hotel charging more than JW for Bipasha! We wonder what will happen this year!
