King wants the coast clear

Before beginning shoot for Yash Chopra?s next, SRK asked Katrina whether she was comfortable working with him despite the Salman issue

Shah Rukh Khan is a thorough gentleman. And his gentle ways extend to the sets of his films as well. Mumbai Mirror has learnt that before starting to shoot Yash Chopra?s directorial venture with Katrina Kaif, the King Khan asked his leading lady whether she was comfortable working with him considering his differences with her ex-boyfriend Salman Khan. A source from the sets revealed that Katrina had to reassure SRK that she had no hassles working with him before the shoot could begin.

The source told Mumbai Mirror, ?In the past Salman has disrupted shoots featuring his former girlfriends. The shoot of Aziz Mirza?s Chalte Chalte had to be stopped when Salman barged in on the sets of the film. Deciding to avoid the risk of facing disruption once again, Shah Rukh replaced Aishwarya Rai with Rani Mukerji in the project back then.?

?Perhaps it was due to past experience that SRK asked Katrina before beginning the shoot with someone as senior as Yash Chopra,? added the source.

?Shah Rukh wanted no problems on the sets. Yashji is over 75-years-old. He is directing a film after a long time. Only when Katrina assured Shah Rukh that there was no question of any intrusion did he agree to start the shoot,? informed the source. And now, the first schedule for the Shah Rukh-Katrina film begins next week.

?Katrina?s equation with Salman is very clear. They?re very good friends. But if he does the ex-boyfriend act with her, he will lose her goodwill for good. For Shah Rukh who has been through some nightmarish experiences with Salman, the tranquil equation that Katrina shares with Salman was not easy to understand. Having understood the equation Shah Rukh now feels he can shoot the film in a relaxed atmosphere,? concluded the source.
