Showing her allegiance to Karan Kohar, Katrina Kaif has refused to be part of Krrish 2. She will be doing the Dostana sequel instead, hence the project has been offered to Deepika Padukone.

According to sources, Rakesh Roshan came up with the idea of pairing Hrithik opposite Kat but she wasn't too sure if she could commit so she declined the offer politely.

We also hear that Rakesh Om Prakash Mehra will not be directing the sequel and papa Roshan will take over from him.

Talking about Mehra being sacked, a source told a daily, "Hrithik is more comfortable working with his father. He is also helping him with the script.

They want it to attain Hollywood standards and are leaving no stone unturned to make it work. Though, senior Roshan was convinced of Mehra's directorial credentials, Hrithik was skeptical."

Confirming the news, Rakesh Roshan said, "I am directing Krrish sequel.' I am still in the scripting process and there is still time for the movie to go on the floors." When asked about Rakesh Mehra's earlier involvement, he says, "We had spoken to Mehra, but he got busy with ‘Delhi 6' and we were busy with ‘Kites,' so nothing was finalised."
