Katrina Kaif opts out of upcoming dance flick with Varun Dhawan

Katrina Kaif and Varun Dhawan were all set to appear in Remo D'Souza's third dance film.

Touted to be the biggest dance flick of India, it appears that Kaif has walked away from the project.

Hindustan Times reports that according to her official spokesperson, it's because of “her hectic schedule for Bharat. Katrina has always been a thorough professional. Her dates were clashing with Bharat, which she's currently shooting for.”

Bhushan Kumar, who is bankrolling both Bharat and Remo’s film confirmed the news: “Katrina has walked out of the film, and it was a mutual decision. She is shooting for my film only with Salman bhai, and that’s going a little ahead. We are having a date clash, that’s why we unfortunately had to do it, even though we really wanted her (in the dance film).”

Varun however is still a part of the project. “Yes, definitely, he’s there, we go on floors on January 22, as per the schedule. We will soon be announcing the cast, we have shortlisted two-three A-listers for the new girl.”
