Katrina Kaif dumped for Kareena

Katrina Kaif has become the first victim of the recent thaw between Abhishek Bachchanh-Kareena Kapoor relationship. The pretty lady who was touted as Priyanka Chopra's replacement in upcoming Dostana sequel has now been dumped for Kareena Kapoor.

Kareena has just completed �Kurbaan� with KJo�s production house, and is currently working on �Stepmom�, co-starring Kajol, by the same banner. And the buzz is that she is all set to take over the leading lady�s title from Priyanka Chopra in the �Dostana� series.

The film will now see none other than Bollywood hunks Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham wooing Kareena, not Kat or Piggy Chops. Although Bebo hasn�t been on good terms with both Abhi and John previously, the actors have now agreed to work together.

On the other hand, refuting the rumours of Katrina�s ouster from the much-anticipated venture, director Tarun Mansukhani said that he had never finalised Katrina for this one. �How could I finalise anyone until I finished the script except John and Abhishek who are an integral part of the �Dostana� brand, � he asks. About casting Kareena, the director said, �We are almost done with the script. At the moment I�m neither confirming not denying Kareena�s presence.�
