There is a strong buzz that veteran filmmaker Yash Chopra has offered top actress Katrina Kaif the female lead opposite Shah Rukh Khan in his next directorial venture after ‘Veer-Zaara’.

If sources are to be believed, Chopra made the offer to a thrilled Katrina (via a phone call) on her birthday, that is 16th July.

As far as the confirmation of the above is concerned, despite many attempts, Yash Raj Films’ spokesperson could not be contacted.

As may be recalled, Katrina is already doing a film directed by Kabir Khan for Yash Raj Films, opposite John Abraham and Neil Mukesh.
