Regardless of their personal relationship, Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif will be pairing up again.
They will come together in Joker, where they will shake a leg with Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha in a specially choreographed song and dance sequence.
Though both are yet to sign on the dotted line, sources claim that it is a mere formality. The song will be picturised post monsoons, once the principle shooting of Joker is wrapped up.
"Joker is a big film and to substantiate the hype it is generating, it was obvious that there were more added attractions to it," said a source. "The makers always had a place for a highlight song and dance sequence in the film. While Akshay and Sonakshi, the main leads in the film, obviously feature in the song, Shirish wanted to spice it up further. This is where he thought of Salman and Katrina."
This would perhaps be the first time ever that two top superstars have been roped in for a guest appearance in an item number.
Though earlier there have been numerous instances of big stars giving their nod to do in a jig - Salman recently did it with Wallah Re Wallah in Tees Maar Khan - one has seldom seen a couple coming together for a similar act.
"What further makes it interesting is the fact that this couple is none other than Salman and Katrina," added the source, "The world has been speculating about whether they can see eye-to-eye or not, but the fact is that they are quite decent with each other. They share a very cordial relationship and since Katrina is quite close to Salman's family, there will never be any awkward moments between the two."
When contacted, Shirish wasn't willing to go into the details.
