Katrina Kaif did not throw starry tantrums, state brand officials
News of Katrina Kaif walking out while shooting for a commercial of a beverage brand she endorses created quite a stir. It was reported that the actress was unhappy with the director of photography (DOP) because of which she stormed out.
However, the spokesperson of Pepsico said, "At Slice, we are very proud of the strong relationship we have cultivated with Katrina Kaif leading to several memorable campaigns over the past 6 years. Each Slice film has been notable for the focus on aesthetic sensibilities and consistent storylines, and with every campaign our bond has only grown stronger. Our recent shoot spread over five days went off extremely smoothly and we are delighted at the output as well as Katrina's active participation and hard work in the creative development."
"I have shot commercials with Katrina for nearly two years now and we share a great working rapport. I am amused at the concocted report that she had a problem working with me. We shot with her for five days and nearly ten hours a day at the Slice shoot this week", says Frank Flick, the Director of Photography for the TVC.
Says a source close to the actress, "Katrina has always been a thorough professional and is extremely hardworking. Such reports are misleading and damaging".
