A day ago, it had been reported that Prabhu Deva, who is directing Shahid Kapoor in his next massy entertainer Namak, is in talks with Katrina Kaif to play the female lead for the movie.
However, sources now claim that Prabhu Deva has decided to cast his 'Rowdy' actress Sonakshi Sinha for the role. It seems that Prabhu was initially keen to cast Katrina opposite Kapoor but decided to go with Sonakshi for the role.
Namak, an action thriller based around the drug mafia in Madhya Pradesh, will have Shahid Kapoor play an out and out action hero. Prabhu's last two flicks Wanted and Rowdy Rathore were major hits and it is expected that Namak too would enjoy the same success.
