Not just that, the report also says that the dance reality show may see Katrina Kaif in the judge's seat. "Salman Khan may produce the show and we might see Katrina sit on the judges' panel. However, nothing is finalised yet as the channel is still in talks with Salman's team," a source said.

The eighth edition of the show saw Divyanka Tripathi and Vivek Dahiya emerge as winners. The Yeh Hai Mohabbatein couple took home prize money of Rs 35 lakh along with the trophy.
