Katrina Kaif reveals whether she discussed the idea of doing an action film with Sriram Raghavan
In an interview with us, Katrina Kaif was asked if she spoke to Sriram Raghavan about the idea of doing an action film since she likes that genre. In response, the actress said: “No. I think those conversations are already existing in my life, in the different films I have done. In the Tiger franchise. So, I think there’s a lot there already that I’m so connected to.” She added that she wanted the opportunity to do things she had not done before. “That’s the experience that we were looking for together.”
To this, the director added, “And that’s something that I really wanted. I didn’t want to do with her what she has already done before. That I’m using her as a star kind of thing.” Katrina then mentioned that Sriram wouldn’t have enjoyed being on the set of Tiger 3 when the towel scene was shot. “I don’t think Sriram sir would have really enjoyed being on set during that towel fight sequence in Tiger. I think this is the world where he flourishes, he thrives,” she said.
