So reports that Katrina was shifting dates to play Scarlett as her dates are booked till 2009-end are false.
Apparently Kat was keen in the beginning, but keeping the controversial subject in mind, decided to opt out as she found the subject too controversial. Reportedly Kat has stated that she doesn't want to do films around a subject that has 'no clarity' and many unanswered questions.
The Internet Movie Database website also shows Katrina's name in the starcast of the film with its status 'in production'.
Shukla is looking for someone else from UK to play Scarlett, who was murdered on Goa's beach early last year.
The director is also awaiting the green signal from Scarlett's mother Fiona Mckeown as he has sent her the film's script for approval.
The buzz is that South Indian director Venkat Prabhu is making 'Goa' which is also based on Scarlett's murder and is produced by Rajinikanth's daughter Soundarya's Ocher Studios.
