The first look of Katrina Kaif in the most-awaited Ek Tha Tiger has finally been released. ‘The girl who tamed Tiger’, screams the poster, which has the star looking stunningly toned and raring to go. The promotion of the film started a while ago. But all the snapshots and trailers released so far featured the film’s male lead Salman Kha n and there was no glimpse of Katrina in any of the publicity material seen before this.
“Fans were thirsting to get a glimpse of Katrina in the film. So far, the only sneak peek we had of the actress in the film are of on-location stills released of potions that were shot in Cuba and Dublin. Katrina is currently the most popular heroine in Bollywood and this poster, designed exclusively with her on it, will leave the fans excited,” a source in the film’s unit said.
Director Kabir Khan was flooded with queries as to why Katrina was missing from the promos. So, he promised to release a solo poster of her. Ek Tha Tiger is the first Salman film where an exclusive poster has been released featuring only the heroine. It shows Katrina flaunting a sculpted torso in a black figure-hugging vest.
The new poster does not even mention Salman. Kat’s draw at the box-office has been unquestionable. Karan Johar launched the publicity campaign of his recent blockbuster Agneepath with her item number Chikni Chameli, although the film boasted of a powerhouse cast.
Produced by Yash Raj Films, Ek Tha Tiger is a spy thriller shot across Cuba, Ireland, Morocco, the UK, Thailand and India. Katrina is said to be kicking butt in an action avatar in the film along with Salman, who plays a secret agent. Yash Raj boss Aditya Chopra flew down special trainers from the US to help her achieve a toned look.
