Khan for the second time in Aanand L Rai's
Zero. In an interview with a leading daily,
Katrina spoke about how happy she is with
the reactions she has been getting for the
film's teaser.
She said, "I'm happy that people have loved
the teaser. Zero is SRK's baby. He is so deeply
involved with the technology part of his
films that half the work is done there. He has
set up a technology team and put together
some of the best people in the business for
it. So on that front, I can close my eyes and
trust him blindly because I know the level
he's trying to achieve with this film."
Ask her the first reaction after she saw the
teaser, to this, Katrina stated, "I have seen a
lot more than what is out and I can assure
you that it's going to be a film to watch out
for. I feel what he and Aanand L Rai have
envisioned is revolutionary. We tend to look
down on our films, which involve graphics
and CGI and VFX, but Zero might break those
notions."
Earlier, the concept of Zero was different
and now it has another story to tell. On this,
the actor said, "Yes, it was a different film
altogether when it was first offered to me. It
went through a lot of changes in the last
two years. The movie that you will see now
is completely fresh, which is why it's not
titled Katrina Meri Jaan, although the initial
plan was to call it that."
What role is she playing then? "I play a
character which is a satirical take on an
actress. I have seen it happen in English
films but I have never seen something like
this done before in a Hindi movie. It's very
dramatic," said the actor.
On working with director Aanand L Rai,
Katrina said, "Aanand sir is incredible to
work with. He really pushes you to that limit,
extracting the best out of you. He is not a
director who will just land up on set and
expect you to nail a scene. Rather, he will
hold your hand and guide you through it.
This film is not about action or heroism, it's
just the characters which is so wonderful."
"Anybody who knows the audience and has
that confidence of having a connect with
the masses is always comfortable with the
project they are putting together. Aanand sir
is definitely one of those people. The most
important thing about him is that he's a
great storyteller. But the fact that he gets a
bulk of audience coming in from the
remotest corners of India shows how well
he understands the pulse of the pan-India
audience. Zero is also a film which will have
something for everyone. All of us will come
out of theatres, with a different take on life,"
Katrina concluded and signed off.
