I am happy doing commercial films: Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif , who gave the maximum hits among all Bollywood actresses in 2007, says she is having a ball doing commercial films and has no plans to venture into "serious" cinema right now.

"I am pretty clear about what I want to do. I don't want to go down the road doing serious cinema. I am happy doing commercial films. The fun films give the audience time to escape the monotony in everyday life," Katrina said in an interview in New Delhi Friday.

"I love what I am doing and there is plenty of time to do serious films. I am sure I will do them. But at this point I am really enjoying myself and I love dancing, I love the characters I am playing. Last year, I did a lot of comedies, at the same time I did Namastey London which was a fantastic character. This year, I have a slightly greater variety of roles."

Her kitty is full of hits like Partner and Welcome and after so many hits in a row, Katrina doesn’t feel anything about her place in filmdom.

"I don't think it's a matter where you place yourself. It's a matter of how your fan feels about you and where the industry finds you. At this particular place I think I am lucky to be able to say that I do get offers for a lot of film."

Now she has moved on to bigger banners like Yashraj Films .

"Yes, I am doing a Yashraj film with John Abraham . Neil Mukesh is also in the film. I think the best if they (producers) speak about the film. It is a completely different genre and not something I have done before."

Apart from that Katrina will be seen in Singh Is King with Akshay Kumar and in Rajkumar Santoshi 's next film, 'Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani', with Ranbir Kapoor .

"'Singh Is King' is a comedy. Rajkumar Santoshi's script is one of the best scripts I have ever heard. It will be a new experience for me."

In all these films, Katrina is paired with the younger lot of actors. Ask her if it is a conscious move, she says: "It just happened. The whole set up has to be good and the script is very important.

"You know that if Akshay and Salman are in the film, they can pull off even a bad script. But when you are working with a new team, you have to be really sure of the whole project. It took me some time to select the films."
