Katrina KaifKatrina Kaif's dream role

Like almost everybody, the beautiful Katrina Kaif also has a dream role.

Katrina, who recently had her biggest hit in Namastey London , says that her dream role would be a in a period film. “I would love to do a movie set in times of war or conflict.”




Talking to the media after inaugurating a jewellery showroom in Mangalore recently Katrina was asked what she thought of the nature of roles Bollywood offered its actresses, she thought for a moment before saying “In commercial cinema, the roles offered to heroines tend to be limited, but there are off beat roles that allow you to explore a character. However, initial success and recognition come through commercial films.

At the beginning of any career you want to be noticed. “Like everyone else, even I want to be taken note of,” said Katrina.

“Every actress thinks differently, but for me, it is more important to be an entertainer. I am consciously building my career as a commercial actress.

At a later stage, I might do offbeat roles. But now I don’t want to do films that ten people watch. I want to do movies where the hall is full. I want to do ‘fun cinema’. Eventually of course, I want to try other kinds of roles too,” said Katrina.

Comparing the careers of modelling and acting, she said acting was tougher. It demanded more, Katrina said.

For Katrina, her best role in Bollywood so far, has been in ‘Namastey London’. “The story revolves around a woman, which is quite rare in commercial Hindi cinema.”

Katrina said she loved working in the South Indian film industry. She has worked in Telugu and Malayalam movies. “It has been two and a half years since I did a South Indian movie. I miss the industry,” she said.

Katrina was offered a Kannada movie once, but couldn’t accept it, as she was busy with four other projects at the same time. If a good Kannada offer comes along, I will definitely take it. But I hope the language is easier than Malayalam, which was quite complicated,” she said smiling.

“I am willing to work in any language if the director is talented. Language is secondary,” Katrina added.

Katrina answered the expected “who is the best actor you have worked with?” with a careful, “I share a very good working relationship with Akshay Kumar . He has very good energy, and we are comfortable with each other.”

Anish Asmi’s Welcome , a musical with Subhash Ghai and a movie with Abbas-Mastan , co-starring Saif Ali Khan , are projects Katrina is looking forward to.
