Till about a few weeks back, Lara Dutta could well have been just one of the protagonists in soon to be released PARTNER. Scenario has changed now post JHOOM BARABAR JHOOM!

Ever since JHOOM BARABAR JHOOM hit the theaters 3 weeks back, there have been applauses galore for this Ex-Miss Universe. She performed the dual role of a French-Pakistani and a UK-Punjabi hooker quite commendably and was one of the major highlights of the film.

Now with PARTNER getting ready for a 20th July release, she suddenly finds herself into the spotlight with audience looking forward to a sizzling act from her once again. While pairing up with Salman Khan does come with its own advantage, Lara also has a stunning competitor in Katrina Kaif who would be vying for attention in this David Dhawan film.

Outside PARTNER, Lara Dutta is currently taking it easy and only has a solitary special appearance in OM SHANTI OM before 2007-end.
