Mumbai: With the B-town jodi of Katrina-Akshay churning huge hits one after another, the makers of ‘Housefull’ had decided to reprise the fabled Kat-Akki pair for an item song in the movie. But the idea couldn’t be materialised as the film’s leading ladies Deepika and Lara reportedly showed great displeasure over the mere mention of the inclusion of Kat in the venture. Meanwhile, Katrina too was hesitant in doing the item number in the Dips starrer, given the bitterness the two actresses nurse over Ranbir Kapoor. Finally, the item number has been shot with none other than Jacqueline Fernandes of ‘Aladin’ fame. Talking to a news daily, a close source said, "Katrina was offered the song but it became difficult to convince the other actresses to allow her presence. Kat even heard the track and raved about how catchy it was. Since Katrina and Akshay have amazing on-screen chemistry it would have been a treat to have her along with Riteish and Arjun. It wasn`t meant to be." Well, fully aware of the Deepika-Katrina chemistry, the filmmakers didn’t pursue the matter any further as the inclusion of Katrina didn’t seem like a pleasant move. However, Sajid Khan, the director of ‘Housefull’, has blankly denied the news of Katrina being considered for the much-hyped item number.
