Katrina had earlier wanted to remake Hollywood romcom What Happens in Vegas starring Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz, but failed to receive the film’s rights. She then set her eyes on French film À la folie... pas du tout (He loves me… he loves me not), starring acclaimed French actress Audrey Tatou The French film had received a lot of critical and box-office success, and Katrina, who idolizes Tatou, can't wait to portray her in the film. She has already spoken to the concerned people and is in the process of receiving the rights of the film.

A source close to the actress reveals, “Katrina absolutely loved the thought of remaking What Happens in Vegas, and knew she and Akshay would be perfect to play the part of Ashton and Cameron. However, she suffered a setback when she didn’t receive the film’s rights. Still she didn’t give up, and after watching À la folie... pas du tout, she immediately decided to remake the film. À la folie... pas du tout is a very emotional film, and considering Audrey is one of her favorite actresses, she couldn’t wait to dive headfirst into the process of doing so. When she was imagining the cast of the remake, Shah Rukh instantly came to her mind, and considering he’s one of her good friends, she would be delighted if he’d agree to do the film. While its true that Salman and Shah Rukh have their differences, Katrina has never let that come in between her friendship with Shah Rukh.”

On who would take up the reins of the film, the source further adds, “Katrina knows that Vipul Shah, whom she’s worked with on a string of hits, is the only person thinks on the same pace as hers and would be able to foresee her vision of the film.” However, Kat has been denying the news. But the source adds, “She’s going to stay mum about the issue, as the formalities of acquiring the rights are still in the developmental stages.”

Whether Salman is going to take well to the news of Kat teaming up with his arch-nemesis Shah Rukh is still to be known. All the best Kat, with no pun intended, that is!
