(DNA)
Actors Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif, who are currently in London shooting for Yash Chopra’s romantic flick, apparently made the most of their free time in between shoots over the weekend, by catching a Bollywood film in a theatre there.
Some fans who apparently spotted the two stars catching the latest Saif Ali Khan spy thriller, accompanied by Katrina’s sister, and a few crew members, even posted pictures of the actors’ outing online. Reports claimed that the two along with some members of the cast and crew saw Agent Vinod in a theatre with the aam junta there.
According to the buzz online, apparently their shoot was wrapped early in the day and since they were in the vicinity of a theatre where the Bollywood film was playing, they decided to check it out. The cine-goers apparently were unaware of their presence in their midst and it was only when Katrina stepped out in the arcade that some managed to spot them and even clicked their photographs while in the theatre.
Meanwhile, Katrina was expected to also attend a special screening of her own film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara at a university there. It will now be close to a month that she and Shah Rukh have been shooting in London for their first film together.
According to a source, the two will be wrapping up the shoot there by the month end before heading back home. And while SRK is said to be maha-excited about getting back home to family, Kat’s going to be missing her own friends and family there.

Hollywood action director trains Katrina Kaif
(Mumbai Mirror)
Under the tutelage of Transformers action director Conrad Palmisano, the actress is busy doing some daredevil stunts
He directed Sheila LeBeouf's stunts in Transformers. Nicolas Cage, too, is busy learning his action sequences from him for his forthcoming film Seeking Justice. But currently, Hollywood action director Conrad Palmisano is busy helping Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan perform some daredevil stunts on the sets of Kabir Khan's Ek Tha Tiger in Cuba. And Mumbai Mirror has learnt that Katrina under the tutelage of Conrad is busy performing what a member of the Cuban unit describes as the 'real thing'.
The real thing is 'scary' but Katrina isn't afraid. Talking about her stunts, Katrina said, "It's scary. But it is also great fun. I've only done very delicate feminine roles till now. This is a new challenge for me. I guess that's what I'm looking for at this stage of my career."
A unit member informed Mumbai Mirror, "Katrina is really pushing herself to perform stunts that are generally done by male actors. She has been doing free-falls and midair fights with Salman."
Apparently, action director Conrad had initially suggested something 'softer' for Katrina. "Two very different sets of stunts were planned for Katrina and Salman. But Kat was too excited and wanted to do whatever Salman was doing. Conrad finally gave in to her wishes," added the unit member.
Katrina in fact has been getting up really early to practice her stunts under the Cuban sun. "She wakes up at the crack of dawn. And she gets down to serious business. She practices every sequence."

SRK's new YRF film with Katrina on floors today
(NDTVMovies.Com)
On Friday, Shah Rukh Khan said he felt happy to start work with veteran filmmaker Yash Chopra. He was referring to the new film from Yash Raj Films which pairs him opposite Katrina Kaif for the first time.
The film will go on the floors today.
"Feel extremely happy when I start work with yashji...from the inside. Easy...smiles...happiness...purity of storytelling," SRK posted on Twitter on Friday.
Yesterday, Uday Chopra, Yash Chopra's son who often assists on his movies, confirmed the launch of the film. "Launching my dad's film today with a little pooja at YRF... shoot starts tomorrow with @ iamsrk and Katrina Kaif.. Dad directing after Veer- Zaara (sic)," Uday tweeted.
Yash Chopra returns to direction after seven years - after the cross-border love story Veer Zaara in 2004, with Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta. No title has been decided as yet for the new film.
The film also stars Anushka Sharma, a Yash Raj favourite who made her debut with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi in 2008 opposite SRK.
The music of the new film will be composed by A R Rahman and Gulzar will pen the lyrics.
SRK's earlier films with Yash Raj include blockbusters like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Dil to Pagal Hai and Mohabattein. It remains to be seen what Katrina can add to the SRK-Yash Raj hit formula.
The film is scheduled to release on Diwali 2012.
Katrina Kaif turns singer for Dhoom 3
(Subhash K Jha)
Katrina Kaif's dream of taking her mother, brother and sisters on a long vacation has to be put on hold for the time being.
After completing the current schedule of Ek Tha Tiger in Dublin, the actress will have to start preparing for her character in Dhoom 3 in the month that she had kept aside for her family holiday.
According to sources, Katrina has received an urgent return-to-duty call from Yashraj Films to not just learn some heavy-duty stunts but also exercise her vocal cords for her role in the sequel to Dhoom.
The actress will need to undertake para gliding lessons and a full-fledged singing course for the project. "Katrina has to go one up on the last Dhoom heroine Aishwarya Rai. That's a tall order in itself," informed a source.
Katrina, who had been planning to sing for Ali Zaqfar's album has yet been uninitiated into the realm of music. This will be the first time Katrina will sing for herself in a film.
Apart from the singing, Katrina it seems has a lot of pending work for the same film. She will need to discuss with Aditya Chopra and director Vijay Krishna Acharya about the look, body language, spoken language and attitude of her character in the project.
In fact, the singing portions of her character are now being worked out, waiting for Katrina to come down and lend her voice. Katrina remained unavailable for comment.

"We have some amazing scenes in 'Ek Tha Tiger'" - Katrina
(Joginder Tuteja, IndiaGlitz)
A few years back quite a few detractors had rejoiced when Katrina was signed for a serious affair like 'New York' coming from Yash Raj Films. They were sure that she would fail but Chopras had good belief in her. They played to her strengths and managed to hide her weaknesses. Now with 'Mere Brother Ki Dulhan' also finding brownie points coming it's way mainly due to Katrina's presence, they have wasted no time in rewarding her, what with a film each with Aamir Khan (Dhoom 3), Salman Khan (Ek Tha Tiger) and Shahrukh Khan (untitled film to be directed by Yash Chopra).
Call it a clich but the writing is pretty much clear on the wall - Katrina Kaif is easily Yash Chopra's newest blue eye girl, what with multiple films falling in her kitty at a rapid pace.
"Now this is something that is already making quite a few cynics hide their faces and look the other way because they had never imagined Katrina being summoned at least for those roles that required her to actually act," says a filmmaker on condition of anonymity.
As Katrina about being entrusted to deliver in quite a few biggies, especially her immediate next release 'Ek Tha Tiger' and she says, "See, we are trying our best. It is good to be shooting for the film and we have a good script in hand to work upon. As for the performance standing out then well, we have some amazing scenes, sequences and locations in 'Ek Tha Tiger' which I believe would help enhance the performance as well."
Aah, now if only Katrina could acknowledge herself a little more than being her diplomatic self, there may well have been yet another inclusion of a fiery actress in the world of Bollywood.

Katrina: No trouble on Ek Tha Tiger sets
(Rediff)
Recent reports suggested that there was union trouble for the unit of Kabir Khan's Ek Tha Tiger while shooting at an outdoor location in Dublin.
The film's heroine Katrina Kaif denies this. "This is the first time I am hearing of this. What trouble? Which workers' strike? We've been shooting here uninterrupted since we arrived. There's been absolutely no disturbance of any kind. In fact, the local people here are very supportive. They go out of their way to make us feel at home," she says.
The only sore point, if any, is that Katrina is shooting during the night.
"I am unable to keep in touch with anyone back home because I am asleep during the day," she says.
Yet, she tries to keep tabs on the collections of her last release Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. "Imran (Khan), Ali (Zafar) and I had so much fun shooting it. It was one of the most enjoyable shootings of my life. We'd do a shot and then laugh over it for hours."
The idea of a Mere Brother… sequel has been put forward. If it materializes, Katrina is game for it.

Katrina Kaif In Dhoom 3
(YRF)
After an extensive hunt for a new face for the leading lady for DHOOM:3, which included international aspirants as well, Yash Raj Films is now pleased to announce and confirm that Katrina Kaif will play this role.
The Director, Vijay Krishna Acharya (Victor), along with Aditya Chopra, has made this choice after considerable deliberations. When asked on the selection process, Victor said: “After almost a year of searching for a new face for DHOOM:3, we were still unable to find the perfect debutant to play the lead role. We even reached out to international talent but were still unable to find someone who stood out. Both Adi and I really wanted to be sure that the person we chose would be perfect for the role. Once we decided to go with a known face and not pursue the new-comer route, Katrina was the obvious choice for all of us. She is someone who we all know will bring tremendous enthusiasm and commitment to the film. The first time pairing of Aamir with Katrina will also certainly add value.”
Produced by Aditya Chopra, DHOOM:3 is written and directed by Victor, who had also written DHOOM & DHOOM 2.
Apart from Aamir Khan, who plays the anti-hero in the film, both Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra will continue in their now iconic roles of Jai Dixit and Ali.
The film will begin shooting end of this year and is slated for a 2012 Christmas release.

Know more about Katrina's Dhunki song
Dhunki's intro makes you wonder: could this be the female Dabangg version we never got to hear.
But once you get past that deja vu moment, the song has something different on offer. Appearing on the Mere Brother Ki Dulhan soundtrack, this Sohail Sen composition set to lyrics by Irshad Kamil doesn't quite sit easy with you and it takes more than a few listens to grow on you. Of course, the verdict is out on that. Friends have disagreed about that deduction .
While I'm sure an airguitaring Katrina Kaif headbanging her way through had something to do with their starkly different point-of-view , there's no denying that this song is going to be in the news for some time.

Imran Khan compares Katrina Kaif to Aamir Khan
Actor Imran Khan, who recently tasted success with his superhit adult comedy Delhi Belly, is all geared up for another release this September, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan co-starring Katrina Kaif.
Imran Khan showered praises on Katrina Kaif and is quoted as saying by the agencies: “Katrina inspires me a lot…The way she works on her scene, her dialogues, her dance, her body, her fitness, the kind of energy she has and the kind of effort she puts in is more than any other co-star that I have worked with. It’s honestly more than my level of dedication too. It’s quite close to Aamir’s dedication.”
Imran Khan also talked about Mere Brother Ki Dulhan and said that though Delhi Belly was a hit, MBKD is also a very important film for him! He feels that an actor is as good as his last movie! Even the biggest of Bollywood stars feel the pressure of delivering their best in each movie! He further spoke about his character in Mere Brother Ki Dulhan and said: “This character is not very heroic. He is a simple Dehradun boy next door, very relatable. He wears simple jeans, check shirt, nothing fancy about him. He is a normal guy.”
Well, looks like Katrina Kaif has added another fan to her endless fan list! And we hope that the rumongers do not start speculating something fishy between Imran and Kat… We hope….

I am Katrina’s bodyguard: Salman Khan
Katrina Kaif readily agreed to shake a leg for Bodyguard’s title number, and didn’t even ask for a fee. Not surprisingly, her ‘friend’ Salman Khan also refers to her as part of his family. With this item number, the rumoured ex couple are back on screen together after Yuvvraj (2008), and rumours about their reunion are running strong again.
Ask Salman about it and he shoots back, “What’s there to react? Katrina and I are also doing Ek Tha Tiger together. Likhne waale likhenge jo unka man karega (those who have to write will write whatever they want); they have time to write such things. Why should I waste my energy on it? We would rather work harder on our films.”
A few days back, a tabloid quoted Katrina as saying thus: ‘I can’t deny my equation with him (Salman) has changed.’ But Salman isn’t amused. “What equation? I really don’t know what she said. As far as I am concerned, our equation is absolutely the same as earlier,” says the Dabangg (2010) star.
But doesn’t Salman feel such reports stem from the fact that they were in a relationship earlier? “Did I say so? Or did she say so?” he questions. “We’ve always maintained that we’re good friends and get along absolutely fine.”
And even as they shoot for Kabir Khan’s Ek Tha Tiger, Kat has stated that she’s comfortable working with him. “Yes, she is very comfortable with me and my entire family. In fact, she is a part of the family. We have known her for the longest time now,” says Salman, adding further in jest, “Like in the movie, I play Kareena’s character’s bodyguard, like that I am Katrina’s bodyguard.”

Katrina Kaif nervous about working with Shah Rukh Khan
Katrina Kaif is candid enough to confess that it is more fun working with the younger heroes than the older ones.
In the beginning of her career she worked with senior actors like Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar. She was paired with the younger actor like Ranbir Kapoor in the recent past in films like Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and Raajneeti that were successful, and then she did a Yashraj film with Imran Khan - Mere Brother Ki Dulhan which is about to release.
"I don't think anyone will mind if I say that it is very different working with older heroes because the age difference is of about 20 years, and just about two to three years with the younger heroes with who you can even do nonsense on the sets. For instance, Imran would come on the sets, he would kick me playfully...at times there would be nothing constructive what we were doing..there is so much bachpana .."
And one senior actor Katrina is terrified working with is Salman's arch foe Shah Rukh Khan. She will soon romance Shah Rukh on the big screen. "I don't know what it will be like working with Shah Rukh but I have heard that he makes his heroines very comfortable which is good. I am only on hi, hello terms with him and now I am doing Yash Chopra's romantic film with him! I look at him longingly but am always short of words while in his company," says Katrina.

Katrina Kaif beats Ranbir to a rockstar look
Before her ex-beau Ranbir Kapoor hits the rock-n-roll mode with Imtiaz Ali's Rockstar in November, Katrina is all set to don the rockstar avatar in her upcoming film, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, slated to release on September 9.
Katrina's rockstar look will be seen in I Am A Rockstar, a song that will introduce her in the film co-starring Imran Khan and Pakistani pop star-turned- actor Ali Zafar. While the song is yet to go on air, the first look of Katrina's all-new avatar has impressed all those who have managed to get a sneak peek.
In the song, Katrina is seen making a number of casual chic fashion statements, ranging from ripped orange jeans and hot denim shorts to sleeveless tops and off- shoulder tees. She will be strumming the trademark guitar of course, to complete the rock style, along with kohl-lined eyes to add a grunge effect.
Katrina's look has been styled by Rocky S. and Aki Narula. Since Ranbir's bandana-laden rockstar look has already been leaked online, Bollywood fans can't wait for the upcoming battle of Bollywood rockers.
Of course, Katrina isn't essaying a rockstar in her film. "The song is an introduction to Katrina's happy-go-lucky character in the film. She plays a maverick who lives by her own rules, and that's what the image being portrayed in the number," said a source.
Incidentally, this is the second time in as many films that Katrina will be donning a Bohemian character. In her last release, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, she impressed all playing a half UShalf Indian character who lives life to the fullest on her own terms.
Co-incidently, as part of the promotions of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Katrina participated in a rock concert in the Capital along with her co-stars Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Abhay Deol and Kalki Koechlin. The show dampened the plans of Rockstar, since director Imtiaz Ali was planning a similar live rock concert featuring Ranbir to promote his film.
Mere Brother ki Dulhan is written and directed by debutant filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar. The film marks the return of Ali Zafar, who created waves with his histrionic skills in last year's Tere Bin Laden.

Katrina will prove her critics wrong: Imran
Actor Imran Khan is not just smitten by the beauty of Katrina Kaif, but by her hardwork and dedication too, after working with her in "Mere Brother Ki Dulhan".
"I think this film will do very good things for her. We have often heard that she is just a pretty face and she can`t act. But with this film, Katrina is going to prove all of them wrong," Imran told IANS.
"Mere Brother Ki Dulhan" is a romantic comedy from the Yash Raj Films stable, and Imran says he enjoyed working on it.
"It was fun working with Katrina. I was very impressed with her. She is an incredibly hard working girl. For someone who hasn`t known the language (Hindi), the way she has worked on that and the way she delivers her dialogues now is incredible," Imran said.

Yash Chopra - 50 years and counting... The eternal romantic teams up with the king of romance once again
As already announced, Yash Chopra's next directorial venture stars the king of romance, Shahrukh Khan. As Yashji put it earlier, "Everyone knows that when I make a movie, Shahrukh will be involved with it. He is like family to YRF and I have always regarded him as one of my own."
However, after days of media conjecturing, we are happy to confirm that the two ladies, who will also be a part of this project, are Katrina Kaif, who will be playing a role opposite Shahrukh for the very first time, and Anushka Sharma, who was launched in "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi", alongside Shahrukh.
Orchestrated by Yash Chopra, this untitled movie will mark the coming together yet again of the award winning duo of the music maestro A. R. Rahman and the poet & lyricist, Gulzar.
When we spoke with him, he shared some of his thoughts with us.
"It's been 7 years since I directed Veer-Zaara and as I begin work on my new film I hear my inner voice asking me a lot of questions. Are you sure you want to direct again, you are nearly 80 years old and the audience is getting younger day by day. Can I really speak from my heart and still expect today's youth to listen to me? Will I be able to live up to the blind faith that Shahrukh Khan has in me and give him yet another memorable romantic film? Will I be able to present the beautiful Katrina Kaif and the very talented Anushka Sharma in a way they have never been seen before? Will I be able to inspire Rahman and Gulzar Bhai enough to create their best work yet?
The honest answer is... I DON'T KNOW! All I know is that I'm making a film that I believe in, a film that is about love and nothing else. A film which has an old soul but a young heart. A film which is classic in its look but contemporary in its language. A film which I'm making on one simple faith... the love that my audiences have given to me over the years. They have tolerated my indulgences for the past 50 years, I'm sure they will indulge me one more time."
The film is scheduled for a Diwali 2012 release, the festive time when Yash Chopra movies over the years have lit up homes worldwide.
Yashji, it's nice to have you back in the Director's Chair!

However, after days of media conjecturing, we are happy to confirm that the two ladies, who will also be a part of this project, are Katrina Kaif, who will be playing a role opposite Shahrukh for the very first time, and Anushka Sharma, who was launched in "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi", alongside Shahrukh.
Orchestrated by Yash Chopra, this untitled movie will mark the coming together yet again of the award winning duo of the music maestro A. R. Rahman and the poet & lyricist, Gulzar.
When we spoke with him, he shared some of his thoughts with us.
"It's been 7 years since I directed Veer-Zaara and as I begin work on my new film I hear my inner voice asking me a lot of questions. Are you sure you want to direct again, you are nearly 80 years old and the audience is getting younger day by day. Can I really speak from my heart and still expect today's youth to listen to me? Will I be able to live up to the blind faith that Shahrukh Khan has in me and give him yet another memorable romantic film? Will I be able to present the beautiful Katrina Kaif and the very talented Anushka Sharma in a way they have never been seen before? Will I be able to inspire Rahman and Gulzar Bhai enough to create their best work yet?
The honest answer is... I DON'T KNOW! All I know is that I'm making a film that I believe in, a film that is about love and nothing else. A film which has an old soul but a young heart. A film which is classic in its look but contemporary in its language. A film which I'm making on one simple faith... the love that my audiences have given to me over the years. They have tolerated my indulgences for the past 50 years, I'm sure they will indulge me one more time."
The film is scheduled for a Diwali 2012 release, the festive time when Yash Chopra movies over the years have lit up homes worldwide.
Yashji, it's nice to have you back in the Director's Chair!

No DHOOM for Katrina Kaif
A Mumbai tabloid lately reported that Bollywood's most sought after lady Katrina Kaif has been confirmed as leading lady in DHOOM 3 and will be paired opposite superstar Aamir Khan. Further it was stated that the actress, who bagged the role in the film, is already going through a special training to fit the part.
However, the makers have strictly denied the news doing the rounds and are highly upset with the false reporting.
'The correspondent didn't even bother to check with us before publishing the news. All of us know that Katrina is currently preparing for her role in EK THA TIGER that goes on floor very soon,' says an official spokesperson from Yash Raj Films.
The spokesperson further makes it clear that they are still hunting for the female lead and are mulling over the idea to cast a fresh face than a known name from the industry.
'We would like to once again reiterate that we are still looking for a fresh face to play the female lead in the much awaited movie and that as of now no one has been cast for the role,' adds the spokesperson.
DHOOM:3 is the third installment of DHOOM series and will release by December 2012.

Katrina's the mediator!
Salman Khan hasn't worked with director Kabir Khan and producer Aditya Chopra before and we hear that the situation is kind of awkward for the duo who will soon start filming Ek Tha Tiger which also stars Katrina Kaif.
Since Salman is not a phone person, Adi seems to have decided that the best way to communicate with his hero is through Kat.
Since Kat shares a good bond with the having worked with them before, she doesn't mind playing the messenger between them and her ex-boyfriend. Buzz is that both Khan and Chopra haven't really opened up to each other. Perhaps it has something to do with the producer being close to his rival SRK. We are sure things will improve once they begin shooting for the film.

Katrina, Imran & crew had big wrap up party for Mere Brother Ki Dulhan
Katrina Kaif has discovered a new friend to party with. She feels extremely comfortable with Imran Khan as a pal and co-star and as ideal husband to his wife Avantika. Last week, Katrina partied till the wee hours on Thursday night with Imran before driving straight from the party to the airport in the next morning to catch a flight to Bangkok.
Says a source close to Katrina, "Katrina is in a space where she's content being on her own, because she has two back-to-back Yash Raj Films to shoot this year. The last thing she wants is any distraction. On Thursday night when Ranbir threw open his bungalow for his friends for a party, Katrina was hurriedly wrapping up the last day's shoot for Mere Brother Ki Dulhan."
Very late into the night when the last shot was done Imran and the director decided on an impromptu wrap-up party.
Says the source, "Katrina begged off since she had an early-morning flight to catch for Bangkok to shoot an ad. But when Imran insisted, Katrina didn't want to be a party-pooper. What was meant to be just a brief wrap-up party went on till the morning. Katrina had no time to go home. She drove straight to the airport to catch her flight to Bangkok."
Yawning unabashedly in Bangkok on Friday morning, Katrina said, "Yes we did a have a wrap-up party. We had a super-time. Mere Brother Ki Dulhan has been one of the most fun films I've shot. Me, Imran, Ali Zafar, the director Ali Abbas Zafar everyone was like one a big family. So when they suggested a wrap-up celebration, I couldn't resist it."
When asked why she skipped Ranbir's party, Katrina shoots back. "When I was having so much with my Mere Brother ... crew why would I want to be anywhere else for a party? I am at a stage in my career where I've to find the fun zone within my work schedule."
Interestingly, Katrina goes into two back-to-back Yash Raj films this year. First Kabir Khan's Ek Tha Tiger with Salman and then Yash Chopra's directorial venture with Shah Rukh Khan.
"You're forgetting, I've just completed another Yash Raj Film Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. So its three Yash Raj films in a row for me. This year is devoted to them," Katrina quips.
