Despite the release of the much-hyped Singh Is Kinng round the corner, the hot and happening Katrina Kaif has been maintaining a surprisingly low profile in the media.

According to sources, the real reason is because the Mumbai press are persistent in asking her about the infamous Salman - Shah Rukh spat that took place during her birthday party in Mumbai recently.

So will Katrina do her share of publicity for Singh Is Kinng? She reveals, “I’m a professional and have a big film to talk about. Of course I will. In fact I have a media interaction lined up in a few days for the promotion of Singh Is Kinng”.

Katrina kaif turns a year elder today and opens one more chapter in her flourishing profession that has witnessed as a lot of as five consecutive box office successes in a row.
Says a famous filmmaker who himself comes by a proof of delivering successive multi-crore box office blockbusters, Katrina Kaif is really on a dream run and it would be rash to moderator her fortunes by calling her as a fortunate heroine. The truth is that she has cautiously designed her profession whereas her choice of films has been perfect.

With a string of back-to-back hits like ‘Deewangee’, ‘No Entry’ and ‘Welcome’ Aneez Bazmee is one of the most highly paid and sought after directors in Bollywood today. He comes together with Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif for the biggest release of 2008 – ‘Singh Is Kinng’, releasing on Thursday, 7th August.  Here is a short tete-e-tete with the happening film-maker:

Q/ ‘Singh Is Kinng’ is the most awaited film of 2008. What’s it about?

Mumbai: Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif has just turned 24 and with five consecutive hits coming her way, there’s no stopping Katrina Kaif. CNN-IBN spoke to her and she is keeping her fingers crossed for her next film Singh is Kinng.

CNN-IBN: If Akshay Kumar is the King, are you the queen?

Katrina Kaif: No. At the back of the trucks, they write, ‘Horn…Ok please’, I think Anish ji saw it behind one of the trucks and he liked it. That is what I have heard.

Minnisha kicked-off her Bollywood career in 2005 with ‘Yahaan’, which was well received by the critics; but that was it for Minnisha as she has had six flops in a row ever since.

Katrina Kaif wowed audiences in 2007 with back-to-back hits like ‘Namastey London’, ‘Apne’, ‘Partner’ and ‘Welcome.’ But isn’t it odd that the 23-year-old was paired in all these films with graying brigade actors like Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan and Bobby Deol?

Katrina Kaif wowed audiences in 2007 with back-to-back hits like Namastey London, Apne, Partner and Welcome. But isn’t it odd that the 23-year-old was paired in all these films with graying brigade actors like Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan and Bobby Deol?

Trust Katrina Kaif to be a thorough professional. The actress was down with heavy viral fever during the IIFA awards held in Bangkok recently. The doctors had advised her complete bed rest. The organizers wondered whether Katrina would be able to live up to her commitment and perform live for the event. In fact taking doctor’s advice into consideration the organizers too suggested that Kats should just take it easy and not perform at the show. But Kats just popped in some antibiotics! And was all ready to take on the stage.

The soundtrack of the keenly anticipated film, Vipul Amrutlal Shah’s Singh Is Kinng, was released on June 26 at a suburban 5-star pub. The music is marketed by Junglee Music, as their second film score after Welcome. The music is scored by Pritam and the lyrics are by Mayur Puri.
An Indian Films-Studio 18 release, the film is written and directed by Anees Bazmee and stars Akshay Kumar (who is out of the country), Katrina Kaif, Sonu Sood, Neha Dhupia, Om Puri and Sudhanshu Pandey, all of whom were present at the function.

For what seems to be the first time, Katrina Kaif was recently seen shying away from sporting a dance costume, which she found too short for her comfort.While shooting for the title track of Singh is Kinng , which is being choreographed for Remo Fernandez, she had dance steps that required her to bend forward several times. And this made Katrina too conscious.

Sensing that she was uncomfortable in that particular outfit, Remo tried to assure her that the steps would not look vulgar on-screen. Remo said, “Yes, Katrina was apprehensive while doing a particular sequence. I had to cajole her into it because it was a beautiful dance step.”

Mumbai, June 17: Finally Akshay Kumar’s forthcoming film ‘Singh is Kinng’ has got a clean chit from Sikh clergy. The film had come under severe attack from the Sikh community over a few shots in the film.

The film that stars Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif who was most recently proclaimed as the sexiest woman on earth was mired in controversy for some shots that did not go down well with the Sikh community.

Following the complaints a few sequences were reshot and the film was later show to Sikh clergy to get a clean chit from them and also clear their apprehensions abut the film ‘Singh in Kinng’.
