The majestic Burj Al Arab is all set to be in the news again. Unfortunately not for its splendour, but as the venue for a steamy scene pictured on Katrina Kaif and Gulshan Grover.

If rumours are right the producers of Boom, the disastrous flop movie from 2003, which marked Katrina’s debut on the big screen, have decided to re-release the DVD of the movie which will include deleted scenes between Katrina Kaif and Gulshan Grover.

Director Kaizad Gustad, who is responsible for bringing the obscure model into Bollywood, might no longer be on the scene, but his protege is now counted among the top stars in the Hindi film industry.

The movie is infamous for being a super flop despite featuring three hot ladies (Madhu Sapre, Padma Lakshmi and Katrina Kaif) and also big names like Amitabh Bachchan, Gulshan Grover, Jackie Shroff and even a guest appearance by Bo Derek.

Katrina had just met Salman Khan when the movie was getting ready for release.

Insiders say that with the help of the powerful actor Katrina was able to get the producers to delete the intimate scenes before the movie released.

With the recent break-up of the pair, the producers have now decided to cash in on the actress’ current popularity.

Especially now that she has incorporated clauses like ‘no kissing, no bikinis, no hot scenes’ - in all her film contracts, fans must really be looking forward to the explosive scenes. Wonder what this ‘Boom’ will do to her career?
