Katrina Kaif is used to a packed diary but the actress has been on a forced sabbatical since last month with planned projects refusing to take off. But the actress will soon return to the sets with Gattu's Bollywood adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic Great Expectations. The film had run into rough weather with producer Ekta Kapoor backing out from the project. The actress was shooting for Bang Bang with Hrithik Roshan when the actor's brain surgery put a long halt to the schedule, which is expected to continue not before mid-November as Roshan Jr recuperates. Katrina was now depending on Gattu to start shooting his film in September, but the plans were shelved with Ekta's withdrawal.

Gattu and Ekta reportedly disagreed over budget and profit sharing with the director demanding a 50 percent share in profits beside his fee for wielding the megaphone. However, Ekta and Abhishek parted on amicable terms. There is no animosity between them. The director had since been making the rounds of several studios with the script- before he found a saviour last weekend in UTV Motion Pictures, who had also backed his last film Kai Po Che. A source told Mirror, "Gattu's expectations have been met, but partially as buzz is that he has now been offered a 20 percent share in profit, if any."
