Filmmaker Kaizad Gustad discovered Katrina in London and gave her a part in his film Boom. Kaif soon moved permanently to Mumbai and was offered a number of modeling assignments. However, filmmakers were at first hesitant to sign her because of her linguistic shortcomings, such as her inability to speak Hindi. Films that did feature her usually had her voice dubbed over by a native speaker of the film's language.

Salman arrested at Jodhpur airport
Jodhpur, Aug 25 (IANS) Actor Salman Khan was arrested at the Jodhpur airport Saturday, a day after a district court here upheld a five-year jail term for him for hunting an endangered chinkara deer nine years ago, police said.
The actor travelled to the Rajasthan city by a Jet Airways flight and was immediately taken to the chief judicial magistrate's court here in a white gypsy.
The actor had earlier addressed reporters outside his Mumbai home, saying: "I have full faith in the law of the land and I will abide by (its ruling). I am going to Jodhpur to surrender."
A district and sessions court in Jodhpur Friday dismissed his plea against a five-year jail term and a fine of Rs.25,000 handed by the chief judicial magistrate's court.
In April last year, Salman had filed an appeal in the district and sessions court against the judgement of the lower court in Jodhpur.
The court had found Salman guilty under Section 51 of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. Salman had spent three nights in Jodhpur Central Jail before the district and sessions court gave him bail.
On Friday, however, district and sessions judge Kamal Raj Singhvi rejected his appeal and upheld the five-year jail term and the fine. The district court also issued an arrest warrant against him.
The star of hit films like "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" failed to appear for the hearing Friday, saying he had missed the flight to Jodhpur from Hyderabad where he was shooting. However, his sister Alvira was in the court.
Salman has been convicted of poaching a chinkara deer at the Ghoda farm near Jodhpur on the night of Sep 28, 1998 while filming Sooraj Barjatya's blockbuster "Hum Saath Saath Hain".
A case was registered against Salman and five others under the Indian Penal Code, the Wildlife Protection Act and the Indian Arms Act Oct 11, 1998.

Sanjay Dutt was treated like any other prisoner, say jail authorities
Pune/Mumbai, Aug 23: Maharashtra State prison officials have said that no special privileges were giving to Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt during his stay at Yeravada Jail, from where he was released today.
The conduct of the actor was good in the jail, they added.
"His behaviour was extremely calm. This is not the first time he has been in jail. So, he is aware of the issues that are involved. Neither did we resort to using any hard measures against him, nor did he misbehave in the jail. He was treated like any other prisoner in the jail," said S.C. Mathur, Inspector General of Police, Jails, Maharashtra.
Earlier today, Dutt, sporting a beard and a shaved head, stepped out of the jail and shook hands with police officers before leaving for his home.
Dressed in a white shirt and blue jeans, Dutt reached home, accompanied by his brother-in-law Kumar Gaurav, friend Yusuf Nalwala and lawyer Satish Maneshinde. His sister Priya Dutt hugged him.
Dutt told reporters outside his home that he was too tired to speak, but would hold a news conference later.
Dutt tried his hand at carpentry as a prison labour for which he was paid less than a dollar a day.
Dutt was granted interim bail by the Supreme Court on Monday. The release was delayed as a copy of the Supreme Court's order did not reach the jail.
His lawyers had petitioned the Supreme Court against his conviction by TADA court and sought bail until that appeal was ruled on.
Dutt was sentenced to six years of rigorous imprisonment by a TADA Court under the Arms Act for possession of arms, including an AK-56 assault rifle at the height of the 1993 communal riots in Mumbai.
Five other convicts -- Sameer Hingora, Aziz Ahmed Mohammed Ahmed Sheikh, Ibrahim Musa Chauhan, Yusuf Mohsin Nulwalla and Zaibunnisa Anwar Kazi -- were also granted relief by the apex court. They too were released today.
The apex court granted bail to all the six on the condition that they will report to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) office in Mumbai every week and will not abuse their grant of liberty and bail.
The TADA court is expected to give a copy of its judgment by August 27. Dutt, after getting a copy of the TADA court's judgment, will have to surrender before police.
Dutt has already spent nearly 16 months in prison before his release on bail in 1996.
He was welcomed by family and friends, some of whom had arrived from overseas. A coconut was broken at the doorstep of Dutt's home as an auspicious ritual.
