Katrina, dates with Salman share intimate moments

Katrina Kaif is no doubt riding high on the success of Race and Singh is Kinng, but the actress is quite nervous about her next big release Yuvvraaj. The reason being not only the grand canvas of the movie but also because Yuvraaj is her first movie where she has been pitted as the leading lady opposite beau Salman Khan, though they have worked together in couple of films earlier as well.In an interview Katrina said, "Some of the most intimate moments in the film are between Salman and me, and what you see on screen doesn't come across as forced." Director Subhash Ghai is also in agreement with the actress, he said, "The Salman-Katrina magic is all set to cast its spell on the audience." He added that they rock as a couple and are lucky for each other. David Dhawan was the first one to cast them together in Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya and they sizzled on screen. Both Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya and later Partner were huge hits at the Box Office and the actress is keeping her fingers crossed for the third one too. The audience too can't wait to watch the real-life couple romancing each ther on the big screen. Yuvvraaj, is about relationships, and Katrina plays a musician. She is a very strong girl, who believes in the power of love and music. The movie has been shot in the beautiful locales of Prague and has the music of the music maestro AR Rahman.

I have faith in my audience - John Abraham

'I am very happy with the success of DOSTANA. Of course, it is the second in row but I know that GOAL was mainly an average successful film. Somehow producers too never advertised its success much due to which the right perception was not created. But that's ok, it happens. I have moved on', smiles John who is looking at an eventful 2009 ahead. 'Whatever the critics may have had to say in the past, the fact is that I have faith in my audience.
