Last year, a lot of women-centric movies like?Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway, Khufia and Jaane Jaan took center stage and got as much limelight as male-led movies like Jawan, Pathaan and Gadar 2 among others, and so, they proved the payoff of strong female leads can be huge. Are women still?displayed as objects in movies? Things are gradually changing, right?
In a press conference for her upcoming movie Merry Christmas, a journalist called Katrina Kaif "just a glamour doll" in Tiger 3. At first, she was stunned to hear that. Her response to this question, however, won the fans over.
With utmost grace, she responded, "I see things a little different perhaps.?I actually think the character of Zoya is one of the strongest characters I¡¯ve ever had the chance to play. Especially in Tiger 3, it was so nuanced and so well-written by Maneesh Sharma. I thoroughly enjoyed being able to play that character."
At the same event for?Sriram Raghavan¡¯s next, Vijay Sethupathy who is collaborating with Katrina Kaif after doing Jawan with Shah Rukh Khan praised her. He called her a sensible actor.
"I never expected I¡¯ll work with Katrina Kaif. I¡¯m a very big fan of Katrina. I was very happy when I saw her on the first day and I couldn¡¯t express (my happiness). She is a very thoughtful actor. She has so many questions. She thinks a lot. She is very dedicated. She comes up with an idea and she is ready to adapt. Even if she can¡¯t accept your thoughts, she will listen to you. She will put in a lot of effort to make a scene better. That¡¯s why she is in the industry not only because she is beautiful but also because she is sensible. Just on the basis of beauty you can¡¯t survive for so long. There should be sense and understanding. I felt it when I was working with her," he was quoted as saying.
The upcoming thriller movie is slated to be released on January 12 in theatres.
