Katrina Kaif set to produce her own film?

Subhash K Jha (DNA; June 24, 2013)

Every actress makes the transition at some point — from the front of the camera to behind the scenes. Katrina Kaif is getting ready for Phase 2. Having crossed the Rs100-crore club several times over and conquered every commercial peak, she has no qualms turning down films that don't interest her.

In the current transitional phase, producing a film is not just a possibility but a veritable reality in 2014 for Kat. She has decided to take it easy with the public exposure till her films Dhoom 3 and Bang Bang release. She won't make too many public appearances including performing at a public platform. Says a source close to Katrina, "It's a conscious decision taken by Kat and her team. She has no release until December 2013. There's no point in being visible all over the place or giving interviews because in any case she is not allowed to talk about Dhoom 3 or Bang Bang. Until the release of these two films, Katrina will maintain a low profile."

One also hears about Katrina's dilemma regarding what to sign next. Says a friend of the actress, "She wants to move out of her comfort zone. But she doesn't know which way to move. She has done practically everything there is to do as a mainstream actress. She wants to move ahead. But doesn't want to do an offbeat film. She is on the look-out for a full-on crazy script that would allow her to do everything she hasn't been able to do so far." So the next best thing would be to turn a producer and give herself that opportunity to act in films that she wants to."
