Actor Katrina Kaif has said Bharat is \u201cthe best role\u201d of her career, adding that her onscreen character, Kumud Raina, is a strong woman. She also revealed that when director Ali Abbas Zafar told her about the film after Priyanka Chopra walked out, she had only one condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI could be wrong, but Bharat is the best role of my career, on paper. There are instances when [an actor] doesn\u2019t get too much screen time in a Salman Khan-movie. But, I have been fortunate to get films with strong roles,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking to Mid Day in an interview, Katrina revealed how she one condition for accepting the film. \u201cI told Ali that I\u2019d join the cast only if the character is strong enough. Kumud is that character. I went through a lot of prep work and attended workshops, because this role was challenging. The character spans 40 years in the film. Also, it\u2019s a big-budget holiday release, so it will reach a wide audience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She also talked about her next Sooryavanshi with Akshay Kumar and director Rohit Shetty. She said, \u201cI desire to play interesting characters, but, at the same time, I can balance [that] with films that are simply about having fun. Rohit and I have been planning to work together for nine years. We felt this film could be one that we could collaborate on. I like [the message] he is trying to portray in it. It\u2019s not just another glamorous role.\u201d Akshay, who plays a cop in the film, will star opposite Katrina. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
