Katrina joins Amar Akbar Anthony cast

That Amar Akbar Anthony will be remade is old news now. The Khan brothers -- Salman, Arbaaz and Sohail -- will reprise the roles made famous by Amitabh Bachchan [ Images ], Vinod Khanna [ Images ] and Rishi Kapoor [ Images ].

The latest buzz doing the rounds is that Katrina Kaif [ Images ] has joined the cast, and will be seen in Parveen Babi's role.

This will be the second time that Salman and Katrina will romance each other on screen -- the first time being in the hit, Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya.

Sohail Khan [ Images ] has bought the rights of Manmohan Desai's 1977 blockbuster.

The new version will be directed by David Dhawan [ Images ]. It is likely to go on air early next year, after Salman completes his film, Veer, with Anil Sharma.
