Film producer Boney Kapoor revealed that Salman Khan wanted Katrina Kaif as his co-star in 'Wanted'. He said he suggested casting an actress who hadn’t worked with Salman before. “We toyed with several names, including Genelia D’Souza, before settling for Ayesha Takia,” Kapoor added. The movie, a remake of Telugu film 'Pokiri', was released in 2009.
