Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif is working with all the three Khans – Salman (‘Ek Tha Tiger’), Aamir (‘Dhoom 3′) and Shah Rukh (Yash Raj’s romantic drama also starring Anushka Sharma) – and now there might be more starry associations up ahead for the actress. Apparently, she’d been approached to star in Rohit Shetty’s next opposite SRK, but the twist in the tale is that Kareena Kapoor is also supposedly keen on the same role.

Kareena is, of course, a Rohit Shetty favourite, having starred in the ‘Golmaal’ movies. But Kat’s stock has risen tremendously after her consecutive hits (‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’ and ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’) and it is rumoured that she might be a better fit for the new film from the hotshot ‘Singham’ director. This new project is believed to be an action thriller.

Meanwhile, Kareena is currently celebrating the success of ‘RA.One’ in which she starred opposite Shah Rukh. Bebo and SRK are close friends, and he has admitted that she got the heroine’s role in his home production simply because she said that she wanted it. Priyanka Chopra and Asin had been considered for the part in the early stages of conceptualisation for ‘RA.One’.

So who will win this competition and star in Shah Rukh’s next movie? Katrina Kaif or Kareena Kapoor? Watch this space for updates.

Katrina Kaif is bound to don a sexy sea beach attire in ‘Dhoom 3’, no matter how much she might beat her legs but she cannot get away from beach attire. Katrina has made clear to Aditya Chopra that she would not don bikini in the movie but to don a skimpy beach attire is the demand of the script. Esha Deol has donned beach attire in ‘Dhoom’, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan showed her body in ‘Dhoom 32’ and now Kat has to do it for ‘Dhoom 3’.

A source revealed, “Though Katrina signed on the dotted line for Dhoom 3 only on condition that the bikini sequence be removed, they reluctantly removed the bikini. But the question of what she wears in lieu of the skimpy apparel has only now been resolved.”

Katrina Kaif left with no choice but will rather go for hot pants and top.

Says the source, “Aditya Chopra and director Vijay Krishna Acharya were not willing to do away with the sequence where Katrina was to be seen in beach wear.

The sequence was to be shot on an exotic beach. After she said no to wearing a two-piece, there was talk of doing away with that sequence altogether. But it is felt by the entire team that the beach location is lucky for the series.

Since Katrina is required for that sequence, her clothes have been suitable modified to go by her aesthetic comfort and the requirement of the sequence.”

The beautiful lass will be seen opposite Aamir Khan in ‘Dhoom 3’ and she will be in never seen before avatar.

Katrina Kaif is shooting for Yashraj’s Ek Tha Tiger, but she’s also concentrating on her look for Dhoom 3, and guess who is her guide this time? None other than her best friend Salman Khan!

Thankfully, Katrina is not out of shape, but workouts are still essential for her as she is the hot chic of Dhoom 3, and the onus of raising the oomph quotient of the film lies on her tender shoulders. Ever since she has been confirmed for the film, much has been said about her donning a bikini. While there’s no confirmation about Kat sporting a two-piece, sources claim that she will definitely be seen showing off her hot body in the film.

“She may or may not be wearing a bikini, but she will need to look her toned best, as the franchise is high on the ultra-glam looks of the actors as well,” the source is quoted as saying by a tabloid.

So, what Salman Khan has to suggest her? As Katrina is shooting with Salman, the actor is in continuous touch with her. It’s said that Salman has advised Katrina to cycle and swim regularly to tone up without hitting the gym to get that fit fab body.

Dhoom 3 has Aamir Khan playing the baddie. The third instalment of the series would go on floors by December 2011 and is planned for a Christmas 2012 release.

Ever since actor Katrina Kaif has been confirmed for Dhoom 3, there has been much speculation about her donning a bikini for the film, as had the actresses in the previous two installments. But while, there’s no confirmation about Kat sporting the bikini avatar, insiders do reveal that she will definitely be seen showing off her a super-toned hotbod in the film. A source says, “She may or may not be wearing a bikini, but she will need to look her toned best, as the franchise is high on the ultra-glam looks of the actors as well.”

Katrina is well aware of it, but since she has been rushing from one film to another, she has little or no time left to actually concentrate on her work-outs.

According to a source, Katrina has been so busy that she has not even had time to enjoy the successes of her own recent films including Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Mere Brother Ki Dulhan.

“She has been shooting back to back since the past several months now. But her role in Dhoom 3 requires her to look her fittest best and so she’s started working out during her outdoor schedules itself,” says the source.

However, an insider reveals that she is into light exercising and not heavy training. “Katrina wants to tone up her body for Dhoom 3, and luckily for her she is already in good shape. She anyways hates vigorous workouts or starving herself to acquire a lean body or look sexy, so she is just exercising regularly and going in for a healthy diet instead.”

The B-Town hottie had apparently started to work on her bod right when she was shooting with Salman Khan for Ek Tha Tiger in Dublin. “There too she would exercise regularly, eat loads of fruits on time, instead of starving herself and she has also been drinking a lot of water. She is trying her best to catch up on sleep as well,” informs the source, adding that apparently she has also been getting a lot of tips from Salman on the same. “Yes, Salman has advised Katrina to cycle and swim to tone up without hitting the gym to get an overall lean and well-toned body,” says the source.

According to an insider, “From now to that film, she is unlikely to get any time off for herself anyway, as soon after she wraps up Ek Tha Tiger, she’s expected to begin work on her film with Shah Rukh Khan,” says a source.

Interestingly, the film — which also stars Aamir Khan as the baddie — will be her fifth movie with Aditya Chopra’s production house.

“She’s become quite a favourite with the production house as she’s been signed on for four back-to-back films with them. Her professionalism of not letting her personal life interfere with her professional one is what seems to work in her favour too,” says an industry observer.

Due to production and post-production considerations, the release date of Yash Raj Films’(YRF) much-awaited Dhoom 3 has been shifted to 2013.

The movie will see Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra reprising their roles as policemen, while Katrina Kaif has been roped in to raise the oomph in the film.

The movie, which is the third instalment of YRF’s popular action-adventure franchise Dhoom, will go on the floors November-end.

The production unit anticipates a demanding 10-11 months of intense shooting with concurrent post-production, which will probably be cutting it too fine for a Christmas 2012 release.

Hence, the decision was locked by producer Aditya Chopra, director Vijay Krishna Acharya, in consultation with lead actor Aamir Khan.

With the change in release date, the film has also co-incidentally avoided a clash with Dabangg 2, which is slated for a Christmas release in 2012.

Since the announcement of ‘Dhoom 3′, the movie had been a favourite of gossip mongers. After much speculation about the cast, the banner Yash Raj Films finalised Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif, Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra.

Talks had been that Katrina has started to shoot for the film, getting trained for some high voltage action sequences. However the production team had rubbished it. Later it was also said that the British beauty will sizzle in a bikini – but then Katrina put down strict condition that she won’t be wearing the two-piece.

Now latest we hear that Katrina will be doing some underwater stunts for few action scenes in ‘Dhoom 3′. Earlier the actress had done scuba diving in Zoya Akhtar’s ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobaara’. So it wouldn’t be something new for the ravishing Kat and she is said to be very excited and looking forward to do the water diving part again, this time for YRF’s flick.

Wait there is more…. Katrina will also croon for her character in ‘Dhoom 3′. While she will be lending her voice for actor-singer Ali Zafar’s album, this will be first time the actress will sing for a film.

Hmmmm, looks like this movie bring out Katrina’s hidden talents….

Why is it so that every second big budget film these days stars either Kareena Kapoor or Katrina Kaif?

About a year ago, this platform had been noticeably broader, including Priyanka Chopra, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Priyanka Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and Kangna Ranaut. The rest of these names still maintain their positions as the top names of Bollywood, but have been left far behind by the leading Queen B’s. Let’s see why this is so:

The ‘heroines’

The way Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif are battling it out right at the top, one wishes that it stays so forever! With both ladies writing and rewriting records with their big-budget, over Rs 100 crore successes, its the top producers who are laughing all the way to the bank.

While Kareena is gaga with the laurels she received from the success of ’3 Idiots’, ‘Golmaal 3′ and ‘Bodyguard’ in quick succession, Katrina knows she is on the dot, with a chartbuster item number like ‘Sheila Ki Jawani’ and the good run of ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ and ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’ on the box office. She now needs a big budget hit like Kareena to reach to the top.

Speaking of future projects, both the actresses have several films lined up with the Khans. ladies have scored the cream However, when it comes to getting the top projects, both Kareena as well as Katrina are pretty much neck to neck. Both of them are enjoying a piece of each of the Khans. In the bargain, Shah Rukh Khan (‘Ra.One’, an untitled film with Yash Chopra), Aamir Khan (‘Dhuaan’, ‘Dhoom 3′), Salman Khan (‘Bodyguard’, ‘Ek Tha Tiger’) as well as Imran Khan (‘Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu’, ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’) are enjoying the best of both worlds. Only Saif Ali Khan (‘Agent Vinod’) has placed his loyalities firmly with Kareena.

From a simple model to an actress, Katrina Kaif has indeed turned herself into a big Bollywood star. Now her sister Isabelle, too, wants to enter Bollywood. Is Katrina paying any heed?

Well, yes! Katrina Kaif, who is very close to her family, knows that her younger sister has Bollywood dreams, but she won’t launch her. Isabelle is studying acting in the US and it is still early to say anything about her B-town debut, believes badi didi Kat, who has no intention of producing a film for her sister, say reports.

“Isabella is still studying acting. When the time is right, I will definitely help her get a good launch because by now, I pretty much know everyone in the industry, but I will not be producing a film for her,” says Katrina while talking to a daily.

Earlier, when Isabelle was spotted with director Ayan Mukherjee at a filmy do, speculations were rife that she might do a film with Ayan. When in India, Isabelle hobnobs with her Bollywood acquaintances and friends, thanks to her actress sister, and to go by Kat comment, we know Isabelle will have a dream launch, even if it won’t be produced by Kat.

Katrina Kaif has just landed a role in Yashraj’s ambitious project Dhoom 3. She will share screen space with none other than Aamir Khan in the film.

What do you think of Isabelle! Is she as beautiful as Katrina to be a Bollywood stunner?

The miss can’t kiss! After the no-bikini stance, Katrina Kaif wants to give kiss a miss in the movie Dhoom 3.

It seems, she is beautiful but not bold enough. When her contemporaries have shunned ifs and buts and are willing to go an extra mile for their films, Katrina is getting more reserved. Now one hears that the damsel has expressed apprehensions over a kissing scene in ‘Dhoom 3’, which stars Aamir Khan.

When Katrina apparently asked to chop off the bikini sequence in ‘Dhoom 3’, her good friend Aditya Chopra obliged. Though all the Dhoom films had their ladies in bikinis, Katrina is going to be the exception in the third part.

But, will Adi listen to her this time as Kat is requesting him to do away with the kiss scene? Katrina puckered up to Hrithik Roshan in Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara, and even John Abraham in New York. So what’s wrong in locking lips with Aamir Khan?

It’s not just the bikini that Katrina Kaif has a problem with in Dhoom 3. It is learnt that Kat is now expressing her reservation over a kiss scene as well.

While the franchise had a kissing scene in the last film between Hrithik and Aishwarya, this time around, Kaif is putting in a special request to do away with the scene. Will Aditya Chopra give in?
