‘Tiger 3’: Katrina Kaif’s towel fight scene partner unveils behind-the-scenes challenges of shooting the sequence

Bollywood diva Katrina Kaif is all set to sizzle on the silver screen once again in their upcoming movie, Tiger 3, which is part of the immensely popular Tiger franchise. With the previous films, Ek Tha Tiger and Tiger Zinda Hai, having set the box office ablaze, similar expectations surround Tiger 3 as well.

The trailer for this much-anticipated film was unveiled on October 16, and it has since taken the internet by storm. However, one particular scene from the trailer has captured the attention of many, featuring Katrina engaged in a fierce battle while wearing a towel, facing off against Hollywood actress Michelle Lee. Recently, this foreign actress shared insights into the challenges they encountered while shooting this sequence.

“I’m not surprised. I thought it was pretty epic when we were shooting it. We learned and practised the fight for a couple of weeks and then shot it. The set design was absolutely gorgeous and the fight was really fun to do. It was wonderful being on an international film. Katrina was as graceful and professional as can be. She worked really hard on getting the movements precise and making sure all the movements flowed. It was clear she had experience in choreography so it was super easy to work with her. We worked up a sweat!” Lee was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.

Our towels needed to stay in the proper place: Michelle Lee

Lee is known for her expertise in choreographing action sequences and has shared the screen with Scarlett Johannson in Black Widow, Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean, Brad Pitt in Bullet Train, and Tom Hardy in Venom. And now she has recently been cast in the upcoming action-packed film Tiger 3. She further talked about the scene and said that the wardrobe was the main challenge during the shoot.

“One of the main challenges was definitely the wardrobe! Our towels needed to stay in the proper place and with so much movement and fight choreography, it was definitely a challenge. We ended up having the towels sewn closed at certain points and that helped a lot.” she said.

She adds, “Another challenge was striking each other in the perfect amount of distance so that it looks close enough to be dangerous and strong but far enough to not actually hurt each other. Can you imagine if I actually got her?! But I’m a professional lol. So things went smoothly, neither of us got hit so we just had to make it work for the camera.”
