Katrina's career looking up, without Salman

Mumbai, August 5: Actress Katrina Kaif refuted reports on Saturday that she had decided to end professional relations with beau Salman Khan and said that a good script was the only pre-condition for her to sign a film.

"I have never said that I will not work with Salman Khan after Yuvraj. I always go by the script. I do not know how such speculations float around. If our dates work out, we will be featuring in Sohail Khan's next film," Katrina, who replaced Aishwarya Rai as the ambassador of "Nakshtra" jewellery brand told reporters in Mumbai.

On reports that she was no longer part of Shah Rukh Khan's "temptations" world tour after the much-hyped SRK-Salman fracas at her birthday party, Katrina said she enjoyed being on stage and dancing.

"If dates permit, I will surely be part of the show," she said. Katrina informed that she is leaving for the US to shoot for Kabir Khan's film being produced by Yash Raj films, this week.

The actress is being paired opposite John Abraham in this untitled film. "This will be my longest outdoor schedule ever," she said. She said she was looking forward to the release of Singh is Kinng this week. "It is an entertaining film and we have worked very hard on it," she said.

Katrina said Akshay was a wonderful co-star to work with. "He has a good sense of script, commercial cinema and audience tastes. He is unbiased towards co-stars. Namastey London was a woman centric film. But Akshay was also its main strength. Besides, we have fun matching each other's energy in dancing," she said.

Responding to a question about replacing Aishwarya Rai as Nakshatra brand ambassador, Katrina said it would be wrong to say that she has replaced anybody.

"The brand has grown with Aishwarya in the last eight years. The Geetanjali group knows what they are doing. I hope to continue the good work and do them proud," she said.

"I am not taking over anything from anyone. I am an individual on my own. There is room for lot of people in the film and advertising industry," she said.

When asked for her reaction on Abhishek Bachchan's comments that Aishwarya had left the "Nakshatra" brand on her own and Katrina was signed because the Geetanjali group had no one else, Katrina replied, "I know you are all excited to create controversies. But, I will not say anything."

To a question on whether she and Akshay Kumar will appear on Salman Khan's television show Dus Ka Dum to promote Singh is Kinng, Katrina said she would love to be part of the show.

"The modalities are being discussed. Besides, Akshay is not in India. He will be arriving only later this week," she said.
