Dinesh Kamath's old article on Katrina Kaif that was published in Newsband



Today I'll continue to write about Katrina Kaif. Katrina shook legs to the tune of Chikni Chameli at an award function. She performed on the song for the very first time on stage at an award function. The song gained headlines soon after it was released because of its funky choreography and dance moves and Katrina's prettiness. The Agneepath song – Chikni Chameli was revealed in 2011; therefore the girl got several offers from the industry to perform on it new year's eve. But she denied all offers to celebrate the occasion with family in England. However, she agreed to dance for an award function. She asked designers to prepare special costumes for her which would eventually help her to enthrall the audience. She also performed on Sheila Ki Jawani in an extension to her act. Chikni Chameli Katrina did set the stage on fire. Agneepath has yet to hit the silver screen but Chikni Chameli has made the cine-goers go crazy. The song is on the top of the music charts and Katrina has again scored century.
This item song in Agneepath called Chikni Chameli has become really popular. The song has been sung by Shreya Ghoshal and the film maker wanted a song that was catchy. In the film, there is a point when the story has to move very fast and Sanjay Dutt (Kancha Cheena) organises a performance for Hrithik's character Vijay. Katrina performs to the tune of Chikni Chameli in Mandwa which has been transformed by Kancha Cheena into a very dark village. That's why it has a lot of dhol and is a rhythm oriented song. The maker of the film needed a dance number and they were able to crack a perfect item number, thanks to Katrina.
Katrina has taken the song to another level. Everyone is in awe of the song and the video. She has put in a lot of effort to do justice to the song. She shot this song over twenty days and no one would have put in as much effort into the song as she has. Her hard work deserves appreciation. The song has been adapted from Marathi song Kombadi Palali. The idea came from Karan Johar and director Karan Malhotra. They were working on a fresh new song. They asked music director Ajay-Atul to use their song which is an original composition and a very big hit in Maharashtra. It was good for the Marathi industry as Bollywood songs are listened to all over the world. The regional reach and Bollywood reach of music is very different. Ajay-Atul immediately obliged by choosing this particular song and making Katrina dance to its tune.
Katrina had walked the ramp in 2009 for Barbie. Katrina is made for the perfect Barbie, combining delicate feminine looks with child-like innocence and fashion versatility.
Katrina Kaif has upset veteran filmmaker Ravi K Chandran as she refused to work with him. Katrina demanded that Ayananka Bose shoot her for a chocolate commercial instead of Chandran, the brand's original choice. Katrina wanted cinematographer and good friend Ayananka Bose to shoot her for a chocolate commercial since she thinks that Bose shoots her well from all angles. Ravi Chandran was quite miffed with Katrina over this and has said that he would try and learn cinematography in order to work with 'Miss Big Shot'! Incidentally, Ayananka Bose considers Chandran as a mentor since Bose has worked with him in Black, Dil Chahta Hai and Koi Mil Gaya.
Thus gorgeous Katrina, like a true tantrum queen, knows how to make things go her way. No wonder, as soon as the actress declared her penchant for calling the shots during the above-mentioned ad film shoot, things started changing at the snap of her finger. When Katrina showed her inclination towards cinematographer Ayananka Bose, her wish was granted by the ad makers, who showed the exit door to the already signed cinematographer Ravi K Chandran. Katrina called perfect compatibility to be the reason behind the selection of Bose. Thus the name of superstar actress Katrina Kaif has become a brand in the world of Bollywood as people associated to her take care of her likes and dislikes. That's the reason why Katrina is called Miss Big Shot.
Katrina will have a super busy 2012. Looks like this current blue eyed girl of Bollywood is going to have a chock-a-block calendar for 2012. She is currently riding the waves of her latest item number Chikni Chameli which has shown the raw and never seen before side of Katrina. Katrina will be working on the schedule of Yash Raj Production's Ek Tha Tiger which will see her reuniting with Salman Khan. This Kabir Khan directorial venture is slated to release in June 2012 during Eid and has been listed as one of the most anticipated movies of 2012. The much delayed sequel of Dostana will finally see the light after few pre-production meetings where Katrina will be seen opposite Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham. She has previously worked with both of them in Sarkar and New York respectively. Yash Chopra's much anticipated directorial venture will go on floors from February where Katrina will be seen romancing Shah Rukh Khan. This movie is speculated to be released around Diwali 2012. For Katrina it's a dream to be cast in a film that Yash is directing. In a way it brings her 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. Then from April onwards she will move onto work on her other Yash Raj production Dhoom 3 opposite Aamir Khan. Keeping in tradition with the previous Dhoom series heroines Katrina is speculated to wear a swimsuit. She has not even discussed the costumes with the designers. And all these speculations have already begun. She doesn't care because she knows that people will know the truth when it's time.
After Kareena, Katrina is the only actress to have mega releases with the three Khans. Katrina has surely made a place in the Yash Raj banner thanks to her popularity with the masses. She has been time and again appreciated for her hard work and the efforts she puts into the promotion of her movies.
Yash Chopra's next romance film which will have Shahrukh and Katrina in the lead roles is yet to be titled. The film also has Anushka Sharma in a pivotal role. The movie is being described as an epic romance to be shot in London, Thailand and India. The film will have music by A R Rahman and lyrics by Gulzar. Yash Chopra who is returning to direction after eight years is directing the Yash Raj film. His last venture was the Shahrukh Khan - Preity Zinta - Rani Mukherjee starrer Veer Zaara in 2004. Katrina has been shooting with Salman Khan for Ek Tha Tiger and after shooting with SRK, Katrina Kaif will shoot Dhoom 3 with Aamir Khan. That's successive movies with the three leading Khans, all with the Yash Raj banner. This will be the first time SRK and Katrina will be paired together on the silver screen.
I've still more information about Katrina which I would like to pass on to you tomorrow. Till then, good bye!
