Katrina Kaif as Zoya in Tiger franchise is well designed and executed female characters in Indian action films. She is the first female spy of the YRF Spy Universe, Katrina Kaif aka Zoya from the Tiger franchise, is a character that Aditya Chopra has shown is equal to a man at every step of the way. She is a fierce, intelligent & brutal spy who can match anyone toe to toe when it comes to action.
Katrina too has made Zoya her own and the graph of her character goes a notch above in every Tiger film. The actress has relished at pulling off incredible stunts and hand-to-hand action set pieces that no woman has ever done on screen before. In Tiger 3, Katrina will push the envelope of action even further and reveals she has prepped for around 60 days before pulling off the larger-than-life action sequences.
Katrina About Being Zoya
Katrina says, “Tiger 3 shows that there is nothing that a woman can’t do when it comes to saving her family or a nation or humanity. A character like Zoya is important and necessary to tell people that girls can be nurturers as well as fierce protectors. Zoya is one of the most cherished roles of my career!”
Katrina loves the fact that YRF has made Zoya’s character more fierce with every film. She adds, “For Tiger 3, my action prep was at least for about two months. We wanted Zoya to look agile, have more speed, and greater strength. I really had to go through the grind and it was definitely the toughest training of my career so far, when you see the kind of action that Zoya has done, you will realise that such sequences may not have been attempted by a women before.”
Produced by Aditya Chopra and directed by Maneesh Sharma, Tiger 3 is set to release this Diwali, Nov 12, Sunday. Katrina is paired opposite Salman Khan, who reprises his iconic role as super agent Tiger, the OG of the YRF Spy Universe.
