Jacqueline Fernandes replaces Mallika in Murder Sequel

The 2004 release from the Bhatt camp, Murder, had rocked the Bollywood box office collections, with innumerable votes for the Emraan Hashmi – Mallika Sherawat sizzling chemistry as the chief reason for the film being declared a hit.

News is that a sequel is being planned to the 2004 release, but unfortunately neither Mallika Sherawat nor Emraan Hashmi will be a part of Murder 2. So guess who has made her way into the second innings of Murder? It is none other than the Sri Lankan beauty Jacqueline Fernandes.

Though the producers have clearly admitted in a statement to the media that the former Miss Sri Lanka Universe was not their initial choice for the role, several other actresses in Bollywood declined the offer which finally fell into the kitty of Jacqueline Fernandes.

Is Saif avoiding Katrina because of Kareena Kapoor?

Bollywood babe Katrina Kaif and 'chote nawab' Saif Ali Khan made a nice couple in the 2008 blockbuster movie Race. This odd pairing was a hit with the audience and several filmmakers have tried to cast them together since then. There is a report that none of the filmmakers could manage to bring the powerful pair together again.

So, why did they fail to sign them in a film? Does it mean that the filmmakers are in dearth of good scripts? Probably the scripts could not impress both the stars or may be the role was not that impressive as was in Race.

However, the case may be something else too! It is a well-known fact that Katrina is the arch rival of Saif's girlfriend Kareena Kapoor. So, is it Kareena, who is keeping her beau Saif away from her rival actress Katrina?

If this is the case then Saif will be the biggest looser because Katrina is counted as one of the leading ladies in Bollywood now and she has handful of films with other leading heroes. She is young and can

No threat

An industry insider says, "YRF doesn't consider Barbara's film as a threat to their project. They feel its release won't have any effect on them as the Katrina-Imran film has more of a romantic tone than an
