Star and style Actor Katrina Kaif
She has the qualities of a star but none of the starriness.
At 23, Katrina Kaif is young but not immature. Katrina’s recent movie Race is proving to be the first hit of the year. When people ask, “What next?”, she replies, “Let me rest for a while. I need a break for a bit!”
But there’s no break. She has already been signed up for a romantic movie to be directed by Raj Kumar Santoshi with Ranbir Kapoor.
She is excited as it is with a young team. The big banners of Yash Raj and Subhash Ghai are also knocking at her door. Singh is Kinng with Akshay Kumar to be released in August is a fun movie. She selects her movies as an audience member. Only six movies old, she says, “Would I want to watch this movie I ask myself.”
With Studio 18, reportedly, paying the young star three crore rupees per film, Katrina is one of Bollywood’s highest paid actresses with Kareena Kapoor. But she says that the monetary gap with male actors can never be bridged.
While Bollywood might have made her the star, Katrina started with Telugu and Malayalam movies.
“Just when you have got used to Hindi, you have to start learning all the Urdu words,” she laments. While she found Telugu easy Malayalam was her biggest challenge. She recounts that while she learnt all her Malayalam lines (for Balram vs. Taradas) with great confidence. The problem was that she could never say them as fast as the language demanded. Having grown up in the UK and Hong Kong, Katrina is now a known face in India. “I have come to expect the unexpected,” she says with a laugh.
