Katrina Kaif has a new ego trip, and at the wrong end of the Bollywood supercat's stick is Anushka Sharma. The amusing bit about the fact is that the whole fight is over a make-up man! Here's what happened: Katrina needed her favourite make-up man, Subhash, at Yash Raj Studios for some last-minute patch-up shoot of her upcoming film, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan.

Subhash it seems has been Katrina's chosen pancake man ever since he worked with her in Ram Gopal Varma's 2005 hit, Sarkar. The trouble is Subhash was already scheduled to fly off to London with Anushka Sharma for a two-day live show, around the same time as Katrina wanted him. "When Katrina realised Subhash wouldn't be available, She declared she wouldn't shoot for the rest of Mere Brother Ki Dulhan unless she got the make-up man of her choice. Finally, Yash Raj Films (YRF) top honcho Aditya Chopra had to personally intervene," said a source.

Chopra of course was treading a thin line. On one hand, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan is YRF's biggest release this year and Katrina is right now the banner's favourite star. Apart from this film, Kat will be seen in two YRF biggies next year. The first is the Kabir Khan directed, Salman Khan- starrer Ek Tha Tiger. More importantly, Anushka and Katrina will be sharing screen space with Shah Rukh Khan in an untitled film that will mark the return of Yash Chopra as director.

On the other hand, Anushka has been a lucky mascot for the production house. Handpicked from a bunch of wannabes to star opposite SRK in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi in 2008, she became an instant star and has followed up her successful debut with the YRF hits such as Band Baaja Baaraat and Badmash Company. Anushka also has a YRF film titled Ladies Vs Ricky Behl opposite Ranveer Singh coming up later this year.

While both actresses are vital for YRF, Aditya Chopra obviously realised Mere Brother Ki Dulhan was more important at this point, considering the film is slated to release on September 9. So, Chopra, reportedly decided to convince Anushka to let go of Subhash. The hapless make-up man's London trip was cancelled despite his tickets and visa being in order. For Subhash, here comes the sad part. Kat's shoot for Mere Brother Ki Dulhan had to be postponed. "The poor man had to suffer losses because of starry power games. He lost out on the London assignment and Katrina's shoot also didn't happen," the source said.
