New Delhi. ‘New York’, directed by famous director Kabir Khan, was released in the year 2009. In this, Katrina Kaif shared the screen with John Abraham. However, very few people would know that Katrina had no interest at all in working in this film. At that time, Salman Khan had asked Katrina to sign the film with her eyes closed and then she had given her consent for the movie.
In an interview given to Mashbale India’s YouTube channel, Kabir Khan said, ‘New York was Katrina’s first film with Yash Raj. When she heard the story she was a little disappointed. Perhaps she wanted to hear the story of the film Love Story, which would have songs and dance. What kind of film did they think it was? Kabir Khan told that at that time he was making ‘Kabul Express’.

Katrina was dating Salman
Kabir Khan said, ‘In those days Katrina Kaif was dating Salman Khan. When Salman asked him how was the meeting, he said that there is a new filmmaker who has made only one film and he has offered a movie. It’s interesting but not for me. Salman asked who is the filmmaker? So Katrina said that her name is Kabir Khan. Salman said close your eyes and sign the picture. I have met him. Kabir told that after a long time Katrina had told him all these things.
‘Your boyfriend is only 4 years older than me’

Whenever she came to the set, she always addressed me as Sir. Then I had to say, ‘Man, your boyfriend is four years older than me, please don’t call me sir.’
