Salman-Akshay to star opposite Katrina Kaif in ‘Seeta Aur Geeta’?

Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar are favourites to bag the lead male roles in the remake of the classic ‘Seeta Aur Geeta’ opposite Katrina Kaif.

However, with the film being female centric, Khan and Kumar may not be so keen on starring in the film, even though director Dibakar Banerjee is keen on these actors. The original had Sanjeev Kumar and Dharmendra play the male leads.

A source told DNA, ���Salman and Akshay idolise Dharamji and Sanjeev Kumarji, so why not? If those two superstars can sportingly play supportive roles to Hema why not these two? Salman has, in the past, done a supporting part in Phir Milenge although Shilpa Shetty had the author-backed role. And Akshay is doing Shaukeen remake which has three senior actors in title roles.”

A source close to the actor told the publication, ���Katrina is really looking for a role where she can have optimum fun without worrying about hair, clothes, dances, songs and youth-capturing accessories. She is keen to work with Dibakar. She was offered Dibakar�۪s Shanghai. But she didn�۪t want to do such a small role.�۝ It is learnt that the double role as played by Katrina would be very different from Hema. The serene-subdued-inhibited Seeta would be a dark, repressed character with suicidal undertones while the bindaas Geeta will be working woman in a corporate set-up, not a street dancer.”
