Katrina Kaif HitBoom to Bang Bang
1:47 PM“It's not my style to either wear minimum clothes, to strip or to even be comfortable with a sex-symbol label. I just want to do good work instead of sporting such meaningless tags.” These were the words of another model-turned actress, Katrina Kaif , who after her first release Boom in 2002 was labelled as a “Sex-Symbol” by the media. She was the media's favorite child at that time and she still is the media's favorite child after so many years. That time it was Boom and this time it is Bang Bang! Defying all the labels she was slammed with, 'sex symbol', 'plastic doll' and 'just another pretty face', she came so far and today one of the sought after acctresses of the bollywood. Let's look into her journey from Boom to Bang Bang.
Professionally, Katrina started her career as a model and it is because of her modelling and drop down gorgeous looks that made film-maker Kaizad Gustad to offer her a break in Bollywood movie “Boom”. Although this movie bombed at box office, but katrina did get noticed. Alongside Boom, she did two telugu movies 'Malliswari' and 'Pidugu' which were super hit and made her one of the highest paid actresses of the south.
Katrina earned commercial success in bollywood with the movies like 'Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya', opposite Salman Khan, his alleged former beau in 2005 and 'Namaste London' opposite Akshay Kumar in 2007. She was praised for her role in Namaste London. She did some successful male centric movies after this but it was in the year 2009 that she was acclaimed for her acting skills in the movie “New York”. This role also fetched her the nomination for Best Actress in the Filmfare Awards. Movies like Rajneeti (2010), Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011), Ek tha Tiger (2012) and many more, featured her in prominent roles. Another prominent movie of her career was 'Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahaani' opposite Ranbir Kapoor.
Probably, one of the biggest movies of her career is Yash Raj Films, 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan', released in the year 2012, opposite Shah Rukh Khan. Yash Chopra returned to directing eight years after Veer-Zaara for this movie. And apparently this was the last movie of Yash Chopra before his sad demise. Another big movie of Katrina is the action thriller 'Dhoom 3'. Although she featured very briefly in the movie but this was her first movie with Aamir Khan. Dhoom 3 emerged as the highest grossing Bollywood movie of the year.
This year, her another big movie is slated to release, i.e Bang Bang. The trailers of this movie are alrerady generating a lot of buzz in the town. According to some film experts, this is by far the boldest role of Katrina Kaif after Boom. She is paired opposite Hrithik Roshan in this movie.
Katrina has surely came a long way since she first appeared in the movie Boom. Despite receiving mixed reviews for her acting prowess, she has established herself as a commercially successful actress of bollywood. If not by the way of her acting, then she surely secured a notable presence for herself by her item numbers 'Sheila' and 'Chikini Chameli'. Katrina is today, perhaps, one of the highest paid female-lead actresses in the bollywood and a crowd puller whenever she makes an appearance for a live song and a dance number.
