Katrina Kaif wary of working with younger actors?

After a series of unsuccessful films, Katrina Kaif found success with Ali Abbas Zafar’s Tiger Zinda Hai opposite Salman Khan. If we take a close look at Kaif’s filmography, we see that she hit a home run whenever she featured in big-ticket movies starring A-listers, while her movies with younger actors failed to do any magic at the box-office.

According to reports, Kat has now decided to work with A-list actors only, which means she will not star opposite younger actors unless a great script comes her way. After her upcoming film Thugs of Hindostan, Zero, and an untitled dance film with Varun Dhawan, an actor younger than her, Kat has not given her nod to any new projects yet, since she is waiting for the right project.


“Katrina is receiving many offers, but she is being more careful now. Having done films like Fitoor (2016), Baar Baar Dekho (2016) and Jagga Jasoos (2017) with younger stars, which ended up being duds, she cannot afford to make another wrong move. She is one of the top stars in Bollywood, but she does not want to shoulder the responsibility of a film by being paired with a younger actor who does not pull crowds; unless, of course, she gets a great script,” a source says.

Meanwhile, Katrina is busy shooting for Thugs of Hindostan and Zero. While Thugs of Hindostan is scheduled to hit screens on Diwali, Zero will arrive in cinemas on 21st December.

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has found himself at the centre of a religious controversy after wearing a limited edition watch featuring the Ram Janmabhoomi temple design. The accessory, which was noticed during the promotions of his upcoming film Sikandar, has drawn criticism from Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi, president of the All India Muslim Jamaat.

Maulana Razvi has expressed strong disapproval, stating that as a Muslim, Salman Khan should avoid symbols associated with other religions. He referred to the act as “haram” (forbidden) under Islamic law and urged the actor to be mindful of his influence, especially given his large Muslim fan following.
