16 Slaps In A Row From Katrina To Imran

Bollywood actor Imran Khan got slapped 16 times — and that too by his co-star Katrina Kaif!
Before one draws any conclusions, Imran had to go through the torture for a scene in their upcoming film Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, releasing September 9.
The romantic comedy, helmed by debutant director Ali Abbas Zafar, had a scene where Katrina had to slap Imran. But to the actor’s misfortune, Katrina took more than 16 takes to get the slap right!
‘We did that scene 16 times… 16 takes and finally the packup happened,’ Imran told reporters here.
‘Next day when I came onto the sets for the next scene, I was told that Katrina is not very happy with the scene that we did yesterday so she wants to shoot it again, only the slapping part. So we did more takes,’ he added.
A much-amused Katrina justified herself by saying that she is quite a perfectionist.
‘I take a while to get into the mood of the scene. The first time I slapped him, I didn’t get the feel right. It’s important to be convinced with the scene you are doing. So till the time it was perfect, we did it,’ she added. Source

Esha Deol Is Scared Of Katrina?

Katrina Kaif’s mighty standing in the industry has ensured that even veteran Hema Malini has taken notice of that. She has quietly moved away from competition by refusing to pitch her daughter Esha’s TELL ME OKKHUDA opposite MERE BROTHER KI DULHAN. Though earlier plans were for both these films to clash on 9th September, TELL ME O KKHUDA will now arrive three weeks later while MERE BROTHER KI DULHAN will keep its date.
“You can’t ignore the kind of pull that Katrina has been enjoying continuously for over half a decade now. It would have been foolhardy for anyone to take her heads on when everything she touches turns into gold. Though it was earlier thought that Esha could take her on due to all the hype surrounding her comeback, the plans were dropped just at the same time when Katrina’s ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOBARA turned into such a huge success. It isn’t a mere coincidence but appears to be a well thought of decision,’ says a trade source who didn’t wish to be named. Source

Talking about the shooting experience of the song, our sources revealed that it had been one real hectic schedule for the team while it was a fabulous treat for public.
Said the sources, “As soon as fans heard that Katrina was shooting for Dhunki at Agra Fort, a crowd of 1000 plus gathered within a few minutes!  All the crowd and mob shots shown in the song are authentic - the only way Katrina could safely leave the venue at the end of the shoot was when a team of police was called to escort her out and take her away in a police van.”

Our birdies found out from sources that British hot beauty and Salman’s ex, Katrina Kaif will also feature in the most awaited movie. But let us tell you it’s not for a full length role. In fact the actress will only be seen in a blink-and-miss role.
Salman who plays the title role is said to be bodyguard for Katrina, who will appear for a scene in the movie as herself. Yeah, so that means one can look forward to see this ex-couple, Salman and Kat, together on the screen.
Hmm already they are doing YRF’s movie ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, but before that with ‘Bodyguard’ looks like one can have a teaser of the two together.

Hrithik Speaks On Katrina

Greek god Hrithik Roshan seems to be quite impressed with Katrina Kaif’s team spirit and feels her unselfishness has made her so successful in filmdom, while the actress praises him describing him as a “phenomenal” actor.
“I had not seen any of her films until I had started working with her in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. It just happened that I had not been able to see her films,” Hrithik told.
“I was absolutely delighted to work with her. She is a team player, she is not a selfish actor. I like to work with people who give themselves to work, towards the entirety of same goal, that’s what she is, that’s how she is. That’s what has got her so far. What I have seen of her and what people have seen of her on screen is not even 10 percent of what she is capable of,” he added.

How Katrina Kaif Bagged Her Role In Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara?

Zoya Akhtar’s second outing ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOBARA is eagerly awaited. Reason? ZNMD boasts of big stars and actors like Hrithik Roshan, Katrina Kaif, Farhan Akhtar, Abhay Deol and Kalki.
Quite surprisingly Katrina came in much later while rest of the cast was already finalised. In fact, Zoya even auditioned a lot of women before roping in the beautiful actress - Katrina Kaif. Reveals Zoya, “Yes that’s true we auditioned a lot of women before finalising Katrina.
Actually we needed a half Indian and half Caucatian girl, who would be willing to ride a bike, scuba dive and one who is physically fit. I tested a lot of people from New york and London but nothing really interested me. Also, I didn’t know Katrina at all, till I met her at a party. It was only at that time I realised ‘Sh*t man. What am I doing. She is the one I was looking for’.”
Zoya Akhtar’s ZNMD, which is touted as guys’ flick, does have scope for women as well. She says, “Of course they do. You take any example RANG DE BASANTI or DIL CHAHTA HAI or ROCK ON or any boys film the women have very pertinent parts. I mean I don’t write bad characters for women.”
Zoya is quite fond of films on raod trips and from long time she was looking forward to do something on similar lines and then ZINDAGI happened. “I love roadtrips. And I have always wanted to do a film on road trips. My first film LUCK BY CHANCE was very interior movie set in Mumbai. So this time around I wanted go outdoors. I wanted to do something visually completely different. Reema Kagti, my co-writer, and me started talking discussing about it and the idea just came in. It is the fastest script written - just 3 months,” concludes the filmmaker. Source

Deepika’s Wish For A Katrina Like Song

Deepika Padukone wanted a song like ‘Mora Piya’ from the film ‘Rajneeti’ to be picturised on her — just like the way it was picturised on actors Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif. Known for the melodious music in his films, Prakash Jha, for his upcoming film ‘Aarakshan’, was surprised when he heard of Deepy’s request. A source adds, “Deepika is a smart girl and knows exactly how to put forward her wishes. Before the film’s shooting, Deepika requested via sms to Prakash Jha to feature a love ballad on her, with a happy face smiley at the end. And her wish was granted.
When asked about the request, Deepika said, “I remember how ‘Mora piya’ was such a rage. I remember messaging him (Prakash Jha) to please give me a good romantic song in his new film because Prakashji has a really good sense of music. I was really looking forward to shooting this song and it’s turned out amazing. Till now, Mora piya was always played on loop on my mp3 player wherever I was travelling. But now its ‘Seedhe point pe aaona’, which is such a playful and cute romantic song.”
The song features Deepika opposite actor Saif Ali Khan. Just like the Ranbir-Kat chemistry, there is a lot of buzz about Deepika-Saif’s camaraderie, which was visible in their earlier film ‘Love Aaj Kal’. But we’ll have to wait and watch to know if this number becomes a hit amongst the youth… given that the song is a result of Deepika’s sweet persuasion. Source

Katrina Kaif Is In Full Support Of Aishwarya Rai

As reported earlier, Madhur Bhandarkar decided to show Aishwarya Rai Bachchan the exit route from his ambitious project HEROINE. It seems that Katrina Kaif is unhappy with this and has developed a new sort of fondness for the would-be mom.
According to sources, Katrina is not too happy with the way things have shaped up for Aishwarya and her film HEROINE which no longer belongs to her now.
While maintaining a guarded stand on Aishwarya’s pregnancy and her exit from Madhur Bhandarkar’s film, Katrina says, “We should not be too harsh about such things and should work as friends always.” Though Katrina tried to mince words, but the message is loud and clear that she sees Ash’s expulsion from the film a tad serious move.
Though Katrina is known to display her political correctness all the time, but this time she has come in open support of an actress whose professional dealings have raised many eyebrows among Bollywood filmmakers and especially in the Madhur Bhandarkar camp. Source

Hrithik, Katrina, Abhay & Farhan’s Road Trip Marketing Strategy For ZNMD

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara cast Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Katrina Kaif and Kalki Koechlin has taken to the road.
As a part of the unique promotional strategy designed by director Zoya Akhtar and her team, they will make a road trip from Mumbai to Delhi and halt in between too.
The trip starts from Bandra, Mumbai on July 7, with stopovers at Surat, Baroda, Ahmedabad, Ajmer, Udaipur and finally to end the journey in Gurgaon, on July 10. Our source said, “They will possibly drive 1500 kms on their own.
Once in Delhi, the star-cast will perform at a live concert in Gurgaon. This is the first time that such a different marketing strategy has been planned to promote a film.”
Producer Ritesh Sidhwani said, “Over a period of three months while we shot the film in various parts of the country, we ourselves took the road instead of taking flights to these places. When you think of road trips why think only about Europe or USA? India is equally beautiful. We connect six cities like Surat, Baroda, Ahmedabad, Ajmer, Udaipur and then finally Delhi.
The actors were excited about the road trip and to meet the fans of different cities on our way . I am sure after watching the film you will call your friends and say that lets just spend time together. ”
The film will hit the theatres on July 15. Hope they return in time. Source

Hrithik Smooches Katrina Kaif For 3 Minutes In ZNMD

Zoya Akhtar’s Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, starring Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Abhay Deol, Katrina Kaif and Kalki Koechlin has been in the limelight for various reasons, one being the hot and special scene between lead actors Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif. Recently there were reports that the scene may be toned down as it was too hot to handle.
However, after much deliberation, the producers, Excel Entertainment, have decided that the kiss will not be toned down. A source close to the film said, “Hrithik has no problems with the kiss. If he had, would he have done it? Ditto for Katrina. So why tone it down? Isn’t today’s youth bold in their actions? So why be squeamish?”
Added the source, “Yes, Excel Entertainment did have meetings in debating whether the kiss needs to be toned down. Some people in their circle even wanted it to be deleted as it is just too steamy. But majority of the members who participated in the debate were against tampering with the original draft.”
So there we have it, after locking lips with Aishwarya Rai (Dhoom) and Barbara Mori (Kites), we will see Hrithik Roshan smooching Katrina too. For three steamy minutes. Source

Katrina Kaif Enters The ‘Dhoom’ Club

It is confirmed that Katrina Kaif is the next Dhoom girl. Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra were also in the running for the role but it was Kat who bagged the project.
She will star opposite Aamir Khan in this Yash Raj banner’s next to be directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya.
Esha Deol, Aishwarya Rai and Bipasha Basu went through a complete make over and wowed the audience with their super hot bods and bikini look in the earlier editions of the movie.
It is to be seen now whether Aditya Chopra can convince Katrina to let go of her inhibitions and don a bikini in this one.
A source informs, “Katrina will have a sexy makeover for the film, as per the tradition, a Dhoom girl is supposed to look extremely sensous. Though she has great body but for this film she will have to undergo special training and tone up a bit more.”
The model-turned-actress seems to have become the latest blue-eyed girl of the Yash Raj Films. Dhoom 3 will be her fifth film with the banner.
The actress has just wrapped-up Mere Brother Ki Dulhan and is soon to start shooting for Kabir Khan’s Ek Tha Tiger with Salman Khan. She is also doing Yash Chopra’s next with Shah Rukh Khan.
As of now, barring Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Katrina is only doing films with YRF. Source

Hrithik & Katrina Had To Shoot On A Nude Beach In Spain

Imagine what happens when the hottest Indian stars, Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif, shoot on a nude beach! The duo had a tough time shooting on the Lloret De Mar, Costa Brava beach in Spain for Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara . And before you assume anything… they were fully clothed!
When Hrithik and Katrina along with Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol were told by director Zoya Akhtar that they had to shoot on the beach for two days continuously, they were fine with it until they reached the location. It is Katrina’s introductory shot. The three boys see her for the first time on the beach and Farhan walks up to strike a conversation with her.
When Zoya had done a recce for the film 6-8 months before the shoot, the beach was nearly empty. So she did not anticipate any problems. However the scene was being shot during vacation time when there were a lot of people roaming in nude on the nude and it became problematic to film the scene.
A unit-member from the film’s crew says, “The beach is mesmerizing with white sand and Zoya Akhtar was sure she wanted to capture this in her film. But when the cast and crew reached on the location they felt awkward. They felt overtly clad and rather odd amongst the rest on the beach who were nude. Moreover the unit had to ensure that nobody comes into their frame”.
“However within couple of hours the unit forgot where they were shooting and got down to work. It was really crazy at the beginning with no one knowing where to frame, where to sit and where to put things. But after shooting among the Adams and Eves for 12 hours, we all got used to the scenes in front of us.”
Ask Zoya Akhtar about this particular scene and she reminisces, “It was a task to ensure that that no one else was in frame, as we did not want to go under the scanner of the censor board. So the entire crew was on high alert”.
The unit-member adds, “It was a beautiful white sand beach and even though they could make-do by shooting elsewhere, logistically this beach was most convenient.”  Source

Katrina Kaif To Throw A Party On Her Birthday This Year

Ever since that fateful July evening in 2008, when Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan openly fought at her birthday bash, Katrina Kaif was nervous of throwing a birthday party.
Three years have passed since and seems like the actress has finally let go of her demons, and according to sources will host a grand birthday party next month.
Says a friend of the actress, “After what happened at her birthday party three years ago Katrina developed a paranoia about hosting a party.
A very private person by nature, she was outraged and embarrassed by what transpired between the two Bollywood titans on her special day.
She wouldn’t step out of her home for any social event for weeks after, so complete was her sense of mortification about the open war between the two Khans at her revelry.”
But now finally, the actress has decided to let bygones be bygones and is all set to throw a grand party, where she wants to invite all the people who make a difference to her life in one way or another.
Says a source close to Katrina, “She wants to leave the nightmare of that birthday party behind and just enjoy the company of all her colleagues. It won’t be a fake party. She won’t invite anyone just for formality’s sake.”
Also, this year her birthday coincides with the release of her next film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. Says a friend of Katrina, “She wants to celebrate, because that’s what Dobara is about.
She had loads of fun with Farhan and Zoya during the shooting in Spain.
They made her lose her inhibitions. The shooting of ZNMD also exorcised Katrina of the demons of the 2008 birthday bash. So yes, Katrina will party.” Source
