Actor Katrina Kaif will have a busy date diary this year. Once she’s
back from her London holiday with her mother and sisters, which she took
to celebrate Christmas and bring in the New Year, she’ll report for the
Ek Tha Tiger shoot. Alongside that, there will be meetings to discuss
dates and other details of the Dostana sequel, top-lining Abhishek
Bachchan and John Abraham, announced in the last leg of 2011.
Then, before the January ends, she will start shooting with Shah Rukh
Khan for Yash Chopra’s untitled romantic film that also features
Anushka Sharma. “I really didn’t plan all of this,” beams Katrina,
adding, “I took on my projects after hearing the scripts and liking the
parts that each one offered. My dates were allotted accordingly.”
Towards April, the actor moves from SRK to Aamir Khan and the shoot
of Dhoom 3, in which Katrina turns into the next Dhoom girl, for which,
news is that she’ll not only have to chisel her body but also get into a
swimsuit.
Bring this up, and she says, “I’ve not even discussed the costumes
with the designers. And all these speculations have already begun. I
think I’d let them be. People will know the truth when it’s time.”
Apart from working with three of the biggest Khans actors in the
industry in a single calendar year, the actor will have two festive
releases: Ek Tha Tiger on Eid and Yash Chopra’s film on Diwali. That’s a
record that only actor Kareena Kapoor, with five Khans and two festive
releases, has managed to match.
“It’s a dream to be cast in a film that Yashji is directing. In a way
it brings me into the league of some of the most beautiful and iconic
female actors we’ve had so far. Not everyone gets a chance to work with a
legend like him,” Katrina states, adding, “But like I said, my dates
were allotted to each project depending on the requirements. Beyond
that, I don’t decide anything. That’s something that producers and other
people involved with a movie decide.”
