Don't need a male hero in the film: Zafar
In fact, Zafar had earlier revealed that no male hero would be cast opposite Katrina. "I don't need a man opposite Katrina Kaif in this film. She herself is the hero as well. This film will be mounted on a huge scale and will be very new and different. Katrina won't have a romantic track in it," he said.
