Katrina Worried by Salman's illness

They may not be as close as they was one time, but Katrina Kaif still cares deeply for former beau Salman Khan. The actress has decided to give his Ek Tha Tiger top priority.

But the actress has made it a point to keep her usually choc-o-block diary free for this film, even if it means losing out on other plum assignments.

Given Khan is currently undergoing treatment in America for a nerve disorder, the schedule of the film may most probably be pushed forward.

A source, however, reveals that a number of the projects he's refused include Ayaan Mukherjee's next with Ranbir & Yash Raj Films' Dhoom three with Aamir.

Katrina confirms, "I won't discuss the roles that I am not doing. But, yes, Ek Tha Tiger is top priority at the moment."

Adds the source, "After much persuasion, Kat was on the verge of saying yes to Ayaan because they was keen to have her in his film.

Also, with Yash Chopra's film with Shah Rukh Khan being pushed forward to next year, he thought he would be able to accommodate Ayaan's film in her schedule."

All this, however, was before he got to know about Salman's health issue.

Now with a definite amount of uncertainty surrounding the next schedule of Ek Tha Tiger in Ireland, Katrina has decided to decline all new offers & keep her dates open for the film to shoot as & when Salman is fit & prepared.

Anything for Sallu
"At this juncture, nothing is more important for Katrina than Salman's full recovery.

Even promoting her next release Mere Brother Ki Dulhan with a smirk is proving a little bit of a burden, as he is no mood to be comic, clever & mischievous as these promotional events need her to be,"
