Katrina says Tiger 3 towel fight one of its kind . Katrina Kaif recently opened up about the challenges she encountered while filming a towel fight scene in her upcoming spy thriller, Tiger 3. Portraying the character of Zoya in this action-packed film, Katrina shared her insights on the 'hand-to-hand combat inside a steamy hammam,' highlighting the complexities of this unique sequence. In this scene, Katrina is seen engaged in a fierce towel-clad battle with Hollywood stuntwoman and actor, Michelle Lee, who plays a pivotal character in the film. Tiger 3 pairs Katrina opposite Salman Khan's iconic superspy, Tiger.
Describing the demanding shoot, Katrina Kaif remarked, “It was a demanding sequence to film due to the fact that it involved hand-to-hand combat within the confines of a steamy hammam. The presence of steam added an extra layer of difficulty as it affected our grip, defense, and the precision of punches and kicks. What sets this apart is that there hasn't been a fight sequence of this nature featuring two women on the Indian screen before." She further added, “I have a deep appreciation for challenging action sequences, and this franchise has consistently provided me with the platform to elevate these challenges. Through Zoya, the audience will witness a woman who can fight on par with any man."
Katrina was also quoted as saying, “I am aware that the towel fight sequence in the Hammam from Tiger 3 has become a viral sensation. This sequence posed a substantial challenge due to the intense hand-to-hand combat set in the steamy Hammam room. Maintaining a solid grip, defending against the opponent, and landing precise punches and kicks made it a formidable task. I must applaud Adi for conceiving this remarkable scene, as it is unprecedented to witness such a fight sequence featuring two women on the Indian screen. The execution of this scene by Maneesh and the action team was nothing short of incredible, with meticulous attention to every detail. It was a true team effort that is resonating with the audience."
Tiger 3 continues the narrative of the previous installments, including Tiger Zinda Hai (2017), War (2019), and the upcoming Pathaan (2023). The film is set to hit the screens on November 12th, offering viewers an action-packed spectacle in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu languages. The third installment of the Tiger franchise is directed by Maneesh Sharma and features Emraan Hashmi as the formidable antagonist.
