Comparison with Shakira a huge compliment: Katrina

[1]

Katrina Kaif's belly dancing moves in Sheila Ki Jawani has invited comparisons with international pop star Shakira and the actress is taking it as a compliment. "I think it is a huge compliment to be compared with her. I gave my best into that dance number. But that is not all there is to me in movie," said Katrina.

The 26-year-old actress, who stars opposite Akshay Kumar in Tees Maar Khan, says that there is more to her than just the item number.

"I play an aspiring actress, a naive kind of girl. She lands her in tricky situations and Akshay is continuously saving her from them. I found the character interesting," said Katrina, who was in the city today to promote the Farah Khan-directed film releasing on December 24.

Although this is the first time Katrina has worked in Farah's film, she earlier danced to the tunes of the choreographer-turned-director for the song 'Just Chill' in 'Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya'.

"I was very apprehensive at that time. Matching the steps as directed by a choreographer of Farah's repute, I had goosebumps you might say. But this time I was more at ease."

Talking about her experience of working on TMK with her, Katrina said, "She conceptualises very well and she is brilliant in this kind of comedy. She is clear about what she wants from me and never wastes a minute," adding she liked both her earlier films — Main Hoon Naa and Om Shanti Om.

\TMK is the seventh film Katrina has done with Akshay and referring to her most frequent co-star she said, "Our on screen chemistry was good in Welcome, Namastey London and Singh Is Kinng, and this time audiences will see it get even better."

TMK is an action comedy about a fearless, shameless conman who is assigned the job of smuggling antiques worth Rs. 30 crores from a heavily guarded moving train.
