We know Katrina Kaif is the main lead in Farah Khan’s Tees Maar Khan and she’s no longer doing Anees Bazmi’s Thank You.

But not many know that that Sonam Kapoor had also been approached for Tees Maar Khan. Since Farah and Anil Kapoor go back a long way, it seemed logical for Sonam to step into Farah’s domain, especially since Sonam and Akshay have been keen to work together. For reasons best known to them, Farah and Sonam couldn’t come together for Tmk.

But there’s buzz that Sonam and Akshay are likely to share screen space in Anees Bazmi’s light-hearted love story Thank You.

Apparently, after Katrina politely declined the offer, Anees approached Anil for Sonam’s dates.

Says Anees guardedly, “Yes, after Katrina didn’t work out, we’ve approached Sonam. Her father and I have not only worked in No Entry and No Problem, we’re close friends and Sonam is almost like family.”

Anees decided on Sonam after watching her in Delhi 6. “She’s really got what it takes. My film needs a beautiful delicate girl who’s strong from inside. Sonam fits the bill. And Akshay will pair very well with her on screen.”
