Sonakshi to romance Shahid in Namak

Earlier, there were reports that Katrina Kaif and Shahid Kapoor would be paired for the first time in choreographer-cum-director Prabhu Deva's next, Namak.
However, we can now tell you Sonakshi Sinha and not Katrina, will be cast opposite Shahid in the film, which is based on the drug trade in Madhya Pradesh. Shahid will be seen in an action avatar in the flick.
Had the Katrina-Shahid pairing worked, it would have been the first time Shahid and Katrina would have been seen romancing each other on the screen.Not only that. Prabhu Deva, who has been very keen on casting Katrina in one of his projects, would have finally got to direct his favourite leading lady in the film.
