Everyone would feel that with her recent string of hits, Katrina Kaif would feel that she's the luckiest girl in the world. But it's really not like that. Apparently the she is worried and mighty jittery about the fate of her next film- Subhash Ghai's 'Yuvvraaj'. The actress has reportedly says, "I really want this film to do well. This is my first romantic drama opposite Salman without the support of comedy like 'Partner' and 'Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya'. 'Yuvvraaj' is special to me and I want it to remain as a special memory. I play a cellist who is a part of an orchestra in Austria. "She's added, "Subhashji (Ghai) spared no cost for my costumes. They must have cost lakhs but not once did Subhashji say anything. My styling was done by Rocky S and I wore outfits designed by Jenny Packham, Rocky and Tarun Tahiliani."

 

Vidya Balan ditched Sooraj Barjatya at the last minute. This may sound shocking but it is actually true! Rajshri Productions' Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi was to star Vidya Balan in the lead opposite Bobby Deol originally. But now the November 7th releasing film has Eesha Koppikar along with Sonu Sood playing the main lead. So what went wrong? Sources revealed, "Sooraj Barjatya had approached Bobby Deol and Vidya Balan for his written film Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi being directed by debutante Kaushik Ghatak. They both had given their consent for the film. But then though Bobby initially found the family oriented subject appealing, as the days progressed he developed cold feet. He excused himself out of the film citing dates problem. Sooraj had hoped that he would find a suitable actor in the A list to play the romantic lead opposite Vidya. But as that didn't look to materialise, Vidya chickened out of the project preferring to do Kismat Konection along with Shahid. Sooraj was then left with no option but to rope in small names like Eesha Koppikar and Sonu Sood to stop the film getting stalled even before it was about to be shot!"
