Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl has reportedly been dropped from an upcoming movie featuring Julia Roberts.

Insiders said Heigl was dropped from Valentine’s Day after demanding a salary of $3 million.

Valentine’s Day, to be directed by Garry Marshall, has a stellar cast that includes Ashton Kutcher, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Garner, Jessica Biel, Anne Hathaway and Shirley MacLaine.

A representative for Heigl said it was “ludicrous” to suggest that the actress, who starred in Knocked Up, had been dropped. Heigl had walked away from the project for multiple reasons, the representative said.

It is reportedly not known if Heigl, who has played the troubled Dr Isobel “Izzie” Stevens since 2005, will reappear in Grey’s Anatomy.
