Filmmaker-producer Aditya Chopra seems to be upset with
Katrina Kaif for rejecting a role he had offered her a couple of years back.
Aditya is known to work with actors he launches under his
banner Yash Raj Films and maintains good relations with them. Katrina and
Aditya too had been friends and had a healthy respect for each other. She has
worked in his productions like ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’, ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan' and ‘Dhoom
3’.
However, their amicable relationship turned sour when Aditya
offered Katrina a role in his 2013 film ‘Gunday’ which she declined.
“Adi is not a forgiving person. He felt slighted when Kat
turned down ‘Gunday’ when he offered it to her. The studio owner expects blind
loyalty from his people, which is why the people who are launched by YRF swear
allegiance to the studio every chance they get,” A DNA report quoted a source
close to the YRF honcho as saying.
“He felt he’d done Kat a big favour by offering her some
great roles and a chance to work with a director like Kabir Khan, when very few
big directors had faith in her. He felt she should have reciprocated the
gesture and agreed to act in ‘Gunday’, even if she wasn’t happy with her part,”
the source added.
The report quoting the source further said, Katrina has been
trying to build bridges with him ever since, but Adi is not in a forgiving mood
for now. Strangely, even though her beau Ranbir Kapoor acted in a YRF film at
the start of his career, they haven’t offered him another role in the last five
years.
“Kat is hoping that Adi will have a change of heart soon.
She has dropped in a few times at YRF but received an icy treatment from the
producer-director. But she is hopeful,” the source said.
