The hunt for a leading lady opposite Salman Khan seems to have ended for director Kabir Khan. Buzz is that actress Katrina Kaif will star opposite the Dabangg star in the film Tubelight.



The film is a period drama set across the Indo-China border. Reportedly actress Deepika Padukone was offered the role and she declined it as she felt her role in the film was not meaty enough. Kabir Khan, however, denied this saying that he never approached the leggy lass for the role.



Kabir, Salman and Katrina have teamed up for Ek Tha Tiger in the past.
