Kat prefers Salman over Ranbir

Mumbai: Actress Katrina Kaif has chosen to work with current reigning star Salman Khan and Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan over Ranbir Kapoor.

Katrina had to refuse filmmaker Ayan Mukherjee of `Wake Up Sid` fame, a project which is to be produced by Karan Johar, citing unavailability of dates. Reportedly, Ranbir was part of it.

According to sources, in spite of trying to work dates for close friend Karan`s film , Katrina had to opt out of the film due to prior commitments. Katrina was very keen on working with Karan but could not rework the dates to allot for the film.

Presently, Katrina is working around her schedule with ex-beau Salman`s film, `Ek Tha Tiger` and next with Aditya Chopra`s untitled film with Shahrukh.

"Katrina had to turn down the film with Karan and Ayan, both of whom she is very close to. She tried her best to accommodate the dates but it was not possible, since she had already committed to `Ek Tha Tiger` and Aditya`s film with Shahrukh. She does however look forward to working with them in the near future," a friend of Katrina said.
