But did you know that Katrina Kaif was a little reluctant to sign the film? Entertainment News is now available on BollywoodLife’s WhatsApp channel.

Why did Katrina Kaif not want to sign New York?

Katrina Kaif in the interview revealed that she was supposed to be a part of Bachna Ae Haseeno. However, her role was cut and she felt disappointed with YRF. Later she was offered New York and she felt that she was being given small, art film whilst a commercial film like Bachna Ae Haseeno was taken away from her. ‘I was angsty in my heart’, she said. She wasn’t willing to sign New York but it was Salman Khan who changed her mind. She said that Salman only had positive things to say about Kabir Khan and encouraged her to sign the dotted lines for New York. She further added, “I did say yes to the film. I very begrudgingly walked onto the set in New York. Singh Is King had just released and was getting massive love. And I’m walking onto this, as in my mind, slightly arty film, and I’m like, ‘Where are the lights? I don’t see any lights here on the set. Where’s the camera? Such a small crew’. I was gritting my teeth.”
