Director Abbas Mustan was justifiably disappointed and hurt with her attitude. He said that he and his crew were shocked to see the sudden drastic change in behavior of Katrina.
They never expected her to turn her back on the projet. He also said that they have worked with Bollywood biggies like Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar, but this was the first time anyone acted so unprofessionally when the project was about to kick off.
They still can't come to terms with the fact that Katrina simply walked away from the unit after showing her interest, though perfunctory in the script.
The film Italian Job stars three super actors Abhishek Bachchan, Bobby Deol and Neil Nitin Mukesh. Since Kaif has declined and is gone, the search for a new actress is on.
