Jiah Khan out of Salman’s film after passing remark on Katrina Kaif
Jiah Khan almost bagged Boney Kapoor’s remake of south Indian hit Pokiri, along with a role opposite Salman Khan, until she blew it up with one wrong comment. Rubbing Salman up the wrong way comes with a price and Jiah knows that now.
The film will be directed by Prabhu Deva. Says a source close to the production team, “Jiah was almost signed for the role opposite Salman. But her recent statement in a newspaper really irritated Salman. Boney also was unhappy with the comment she made about Salman and his girlfriend, Katrina.”
So, what was the offending remark? Jiah Khan was questioned about being recommended for the film, to which she replied, “That’ll be really cool if it were to happen but his girlfriend would be really pissed off. I don’t know Salman at all.” This obviously did not go down well with the couple. When contacted Suresh Kurpad, CEO of Boney Kapoor’s production company, said, “Yes, were in talks with Jiah for the project but we are in talks with Ayesha Takia now.
