Actress Katrina Kaif will not be seen opposite superstar Salman Khan in director Kabir Khan's next film.

Speculations were rife that Katrina will be working with Kabir in his forthcoming film, "Tubelight" after she was spotted with him recently at a programme.

"Katrina is not in the film. There will be someone else. We have not locked the actress yet," industry sources said.

"Tubelight" will be the third collaboration of Salman and Kabir, who have earlier delivered blockbusters, "Ek Tha Tiger" in 2012 and "Bajrangi Bhaijaan".

"The shoot begins by the end of July in Ladakh," sources added.

The film, which will be Salman's next Eid release, is a human story with a larger than life political backdrop.

The film will also have the "Dabangg" star's brother, Sohail playing his younger brother on the screen.
