While everyone in the industry is abuzz that Katrina Kaif, who had laid down her condition of 'no bikini' with Aditya Chopra, finally had her way, with Adi relenting; what they miss is the bigger picture and it has to do with the rock solid performance of Mere Brother Ki Dulhan.
Trade pundits and even the said production-house had put the figures of MBKD at 30-35 crores; the film made a whopping 60 crores! What's more, everything else in the film paled, including the male lead, Imran Khan; in front of Kat's towering persona.
A shrewd businessman that Adi is; he immediately worked out the equation.
Aamir + new girl in a bikini will not be as winning a combo as Aamir + Katrina; that's how Katrina was confirmed.
