"Small things make the difference. You are doing two
films a year. Even if you are showing something, which is
a little different from the previous film, then the audience
doesn't get bored," said the 27-year-old, who has been
part of the industry for eight years now.
"If I can do 15 percent better or add on something
with every film, then people would not bear the impression
that I am not putting in my hard work."
The directorial debut of Ali Abbas Zafar, "Mere Brother
Ki Dulhan" is a romantic comedy where Imran Khan and
Pakistani singer-turned-actor Ali Zafar play leads opposite
her.
The recent favourite of the YRF banner, Katrina believes
that "Mere Brother Ki Dulhan" is the right film
to collaborate with Imran.
"It's a romantic comedy, very exaggerated tongue-n-cheek
kind. It's a little bit larger than life, louder like my
film 'Aajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani'. For Imran and me, it
was a very new space. We didn't know each other much and
there had to be a fine-tuning, which eventually helped us
to get into the characters that we are playing.
"It was a nice first film for both of us to do together,"
said the actress, who has so far made a successful on-screen
'jodi' with Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan and Ranbir Kapoor.
She revealed that the film has a close resemblance to filmmaker
Hrishikesh Mukherjee's 1975 classic comedy "Chupke
Chupke" that boasts of amazing performances by Dharmendra,
Amitabh Bachchan, Sharmila Tagore, Asrani and Om Prakash.
"It's on the line of Dharamji's 'Chupke Chupke',"
said Katrina.
To bring reality to her character, Katrina learned to play
guitar and her knowledge about the instrument helped her
portray the character of a rock singer more convincingly
in the film.
"I am learning the guitar. For an actor it's really
easy to be a rock star. Wear some boots, wear some jeans,
wear kajal, dishevel your hair, hold a guitar and strum
the strings. I can actually hold the guitar right as I know
how to play it," said Katrina.
"Mere Brother Ki Dulhan" is set to hit the theatres
