Katrina Kaif Rumors: 'Bang Bang' Star Is Being Ignored By Film Directors For Big Roles? [VIDEO]
Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif has made herself a massive sensation with new films about to hit theaters, but it appears that she may still be overlooked.
On Thursday, Bollywood Mantra reported that film director Subhash Ghai has an upcoming film called Kaanchi where he was told that he should consider Kaif for the main role. But he ended up casting newcomer actress Mishti instead and he explained why.
"During Kaanchi, they told me to sign Katrina Kaif because we (Mukta Arts) have a 3-film deal with her," the director explained. "But she is very busy now and has no time. Why should I even waste my time giving her a call when I know she has no dates?"

Ghai then revealed that he was told to consider another actress whom he also refused.
"Then they said, 'sign Priyanka,' but I still refused as I wanted a new girl," he said.
Even though the director didn't want Kaif for the role, he is planning to work with her at some point.
"I have got three scripts ready," Ghai said. "I am planning to do one film with Katrina Kaif."
Kaif's next two films are Bang Bang and Phantom, which were supposed to hit theaters this fall, but according to Bollywood Life, the movies have been delayed until 2015. The reason for the delay in Phantom is supposedly because the director will be headed to Canada while Bang Bang is being pushed back since the film is allegedly far from being finished.
