Salman had been pestering his girlfriend to make a special appearance in an item number in the film. This was something that Katrina wasn't interested in.

She felt that she has crossed the stage where she had to appear in such songs to attract some attentions. She had acted in quite a few hit films last year and wanted to retain the image and not risk it with such commercial films. But Salman wouldn't take no for an answer.

The two were in the restaurant when the topic came up again. This time, when she refused, Salman slapped her. Later that day, Prabhudeva had called her up and spoke to her.

The next day she said that she indeed was doing an item number in the film. Prabhudeva said that he had nothing to do with her change of opinion.
