When John Abraham threw Katrina Kaif out of a film!

Not many are aware of this, but during her struggling days, Katrina Kaif was thrown out of several films as she couldn’t fluently speak English.

When John Abraham was signed for Anurag Basu’s Saaya, he wasn’t too keen on acting opposite Katrina Kaif. She lost out on the role and was reduced to tears. That’s when Salman Khan said “Why are you crying? He has done you a favour. A time will come when you would be able to throw him out of a film. Don’t throw him, work with him.”

That’s when Katrina Kaif went on to sign films like Sarkar and Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya. The rest, as they say, is history.

Fast forward to 2008, at the peak of her career, Katrina was the first to be signed by director Kabir Khan for ‘New York’. Salman’s words came true as John Abraham was approached to play the lead role. Katrina, being the nice girl that she is, had no hard-feelings and was more than willing to share screen-space with John.

The film was a huge success when it eventually released in 2009!

  • this article is absolutely wrong.. the time when SAAYA was made at that time john was strugling to establish himself in the industry. he had no power to chose his heroin.. indicine u only listen to what salman says and can’t listen to what other actors say. atleast apply ur common sense before putting an article.. I m neither a John fan nor a salman fan. but i m saying what is truth.. John admitted it in an episode of aap ki adalat on india tv….

  • salman has done many criminous things in his life starting from killing innocennt poor people to deers. still u people praise him like anything. before blaming others please check what salman is????

  • @ theskb get your facts right my dear whatever you are saying or others are saying never proved anything against SALMAN people like political raja Suresh Kalmadi are behind bars when truth revel in SALMAN case all things are just a conspiracy behind him but as said truth never die that’s why he is doing films without caring critics and people like you.

  • salman bhai is really to day’s haatim taai like neki kar dariya mein daal. in the beginning of skr’s carrier
    salman help to skr 7 support him as much as possible. in those days srk stay in salman’s home. but salman not show never that he helped to srk and then what did srk. so i don’t hate srk but i don’t like srk. you must have to realize that salman has did very support when your carrier beginning . same you.

  • @rajesh .salman ne nahi bataya kabhi ki usne srk ko apne ghar pe rahne ke liye diya.to tujhe kaise pata chala tu bhi wahi rahta tha kya.

  • John was newcomer in 2003, Jism just came in…how the hell he will be instrumental throwing Katrina out of film? he was struggler/model and with no connections like Katrina had in name of Salman.
    Salman should have not spoiled John’s name….its the casting directors/producers decision….
