It was announced that Katrina Kaif had declined Abbas- Mustan's offer at the very last moment. This last moment declining left Abbas Mustan extremely dissatisfied. Abbas-Mustan was on the verge of creating a Hindi re-make of the Hollywood blockbuster The Italian Job.

Such unprofessional attitude from Katrina left the duo disgruntled. But soon the directors found the lovely Katrina's replacement.

It has been announced that the duo have roped in the smart, stylish, very happening Sonam Kapoor for the role in The Italian Job. The duo was initially startled and hurt by Katrina's attitude, however soon they came out of it and incorporated Sonam Kapoor in the movie.

Sonam, as we know it, had her Bollywood debut opposite Ranbir Kapoor in the 2008 film, Saawariya and has tasted fame and success with I Hate Luv Storys and Aisha. She is currently one of the most sought after actresses of her ilk.

The Italian Job includes three main male leads as played by Abhishek Bachchan, Neil Nitin Mukesh, and Bobby Deol. As per the buzz, it is also believed that Katrina dropped out of the Abbas-Mustan project in order to work under the banner of Yashraj Films. It is said that Kat would want to star opposite Imran Khan.
