February 09, 2012, (Sawf News) - You may not think Katrina Kaif fits the mold of a leading lady in a Yash Chopra romance, but don't place your bets just yet because Shah Rukh Khan has been mentoring her, helping her get into the groove.
Katrina doesn't have the reputation of past Yash Chopra heroines such as Kajol, Juhi Chawla, Madhuri Dixit and Preity Zinta, but that could well be because her first Yash Chopra film has not yet been released!
Katrina, who is currently in Cuba filming for Ek Tha Tiger with Salman Khan, filmed a five day schedule for Yash Chopra's upcoming untitled romance before leaving.
She tells the Mumbai Mirror, "I shot with Shah Rukh for five days before my Ek Tha tiger schedule in Cuba. We had never worked before. And I tend to be a bit reserved on the sets. Shah Rukh has shot several times with Yashji. This is my first. But I was made to feel at home from Day 1. Shah Rukh is very helpful. He is helping me understand my character better."
Once she wraps Ek Tha Tiger, Katrina, 27, plans to immerse herself in Yash Chopra's first directorial venture in eight years, a film that he describes as being "classic in its look but contemporary in its language."
At the time of announcing the film Yash Chopra had said that he would want to give Shah Rukh yet another memorable romantic film and present the beautiful Katrina Kaif in a way she has never been seen before.
Katrina recently declined Soundarya R. Ashwin's Tamil film, Kochadaiyaan with Soundarya's dad and South super star Rajnikanth. The role has now gone to Deepika Padukone.
Katrina explains why she can not take on any new films at this point.
"I can't take up any other assignment till this is over. I would be doing injustice to this film if I did. It is best that I surrender completely to this film. I can feel it will be special."
