In an interview with India Today, Katrina has chosen who she believes would emerge victorious in a dream face-off between her character Zoya from Tiger 3 and Rubai, Deepika Padukone’s spy character from Pathaan.She said that as she doesn’t know all the backstories, Zoya to her seems the most experienced agent. So with experience comes more fighting experience. Saying that, she added that she will leave it to the audience to decide.
Katrina was also posed with the choice between having Shah Rukh Khan’s titular character from Pathaan or Hrithik Roshan’s character Kabir from War as her sidekick. In response, she expressed that this is a phenomenal film she is doing where Pathaan or Kabir is her sidekick. According to her, the wonderful thing about the Spy Universe is that all the characters are so very well-written and have a strong identity of their own that you kind of can put any piece anywhere. Every piece fits beautifully. That’s in the strength of the characters.
Appreciation and collections are sort of validations: Emraan Hashmi talks about success of ‘Tiger 3’
Earlier, choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant was asked to differentiate between dancing styles of Deepika and Katrina. Spilling some beans about the same, Vaibhavi told Hindustan Times that Katrina comes from a place of anxiety. She wants to make sure she doesn’t disappoint anybody. However, Deepika came in as the completely opposite. She’s a quiet worker. She did her rehearsals silently. She does her homework. She added that even Katrina also does her homework, she needs a sign off from her on everything, including her costumes while Deepika worked on her costume herself.
Vaibhavi went on to add that Katrina is that front bencher who’s a teacher’s pet. She’s very hands-on. Deepika is that mid-bencher who comes with a certain ease.
‘Tiger 3’ stars Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi in lead roles. It is doing some record breaking business at the box office.
