I Trust Kabir so I Did Ek Tha Tiger, says Katrina Kaif
Now that EK THA TIGER has turned out to be a blockbuster and has been seen by one and all, it is apparent that despite Salman Khan in the title role, Katrina Kaif wasn’t just ornamental to the film but had a key part to play. This also manages to reiterate her director Kabir Khan’s statement that for an actress to see such good winning streak for eight years in a row, it can’t be luck but some solid script sense.
Katrina said, “Well, I trusted Kabir here. He comes with a very good sense of story and drama while his strong execution further demonstrates his solid grasp of cinema. He knows how to build drama and enhance it with visual treatment. Coming to your point around me believing in the script of Ek Tha Tiger then well, I had a lot of faith in the film even when just a basic thread was narrated to me. Later when I heard the entire script and then was a part of the shoot, my belief in the film and Kabir was further reinforced.”
Katrina further said, “One thing about Kabir is that he has a very strong role for his heroine. He never sees a woman as an ornamental thing where she comes for five songs and then goes away. If a heroine is cast then she ought to have a very strong and important character. Due to that reason I never felt tense about how my role would ultimately shape up on-screen.”
