The squishy squishy time which Katrina had during the filming of Spanish festival ‘Tomantino’ for the film, has put the actress off and she is just keeping a distance from tomatoes, even when a ketchup brand was offering a hefty amount for the deal.

A source told Mid-Day, “They wanted to use her connection with kids to enlarge their customer base. Unfortunately, Katrina’s stomach does somersaults at the thought of tomatoes. She just couldn’t take up their offer.”

It seems for Kat, Aam has all the right sutras!!

She has developed a fear of sharks. It happened during the making of Zoya Akhtar’s ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ where she plays the role of Laila who is a diving instructor. It is said that first she was very enthusiastic for her role until she had her first brush with a Shark.

A source told a leading daily, “Katrina had no idea what awaited her in the sea. When she was offered the role of Laila, the sexy diving instructor in Excel Entertainment’s Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, she was very excited to start shooting. Closer to the start of filming, Katrina, had a private instructor, who trained her in deep sea diving, at Otters Club, in Bandra.

She was under the impression that ‘this is easy’ as all she had to do was practice to breath in the deep-end of the pool. But when she landed up for the actual shoot, she was in shock. During the shoot, the weather was acting up. There was a storm at sea. Two hours into sailing, the instructor asked her to jump into the sea.

When she looked up, everyone was frantically gesturing to her. She thought they were making fun of her. She swam around, mesmerized by the aquatic life. After the shoot, the crew confessed to her that when she took her first dip, a shark passed from above her. She was shocked that nobody told her to get out of the water. The thought of the incident alone was enough to mortify her.”

When the daily confirmed it with Katrina, she said, “When Zoya had told me about my character, I had to practice deep sea diving. So, I went to Otter’s Club in Bandra with a coach. In the swimming pool, I ventured into the deep-end. I even sat there and practiced, but nothing prepared me for the big ocean.

We were shooting for three days to get the shot right and I lost about 3kg due to the mental strain and fear. I was really scared. In the shot, I am supposed to hold Hrithik’s hand and walk, but if you look closely, I was clutching his hand because I was scared.”

We hope next time no one asks Katrina to dive in the deep sea!

Yash Raj Films who are producing ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’ also features Ali Zafar, earlier it was slated to release in July only but DB and ZNMD, being big banner films, Yash Raj films decided to push the dates of ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’ to September 9.

An insider told Mid-Day, “MBKD is YRF’s next big film. They decided to play it safe rather than battle it out with two other biggies starring their lead stars.

Imran Khan’s DB releases July 1 and Kat’s ZNMD is out July 15. The overlapping of stars might confuse audiences.”

More than that it was also cited that, if they would go with the July release they might not get adequate time from the two stars who will be busy promoting their other ventures – Delhi Belly and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, and that could spoil the promotion of ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’.

In the song Hrithik and Katrina were playing with tomatoes as it was shot in Spain and they wanted to get the essence of the Tomatino Festival which is popular in the country. But, the two got too messed up with the tomatoes that after seeing the rushes of the song they requested the director to edit out some portion, as it could send a wrong signal.

It is heard that the makers of the film heard their request and changed the song. They also toned down the sequences by adding scenes of Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol who are also in the film.

Farhan has already done this before, but Abhay is not so convince about his voice, “I can’t sing at all, neither can I dance. Today’s upbeat recording technologies tuned my part of the song as required. I didn’t even have time to practice. They told me to sing my way and they would tweak it,” said the actor.

“I loved my voice after recording. I don’t know if people would love it too,” added Abhay.

Abhay is the only male actor in the film’s poster who is fully clad in comparison to Hrithik who is topless and Farhan shown in ganji.

“I have a lot of hair on my chest and there is a scene in the film where we have these tomatoes all over our bodies. I told my stylist that if the tomatoes stick to my chest hair the sight won’t be pleasant. Otherwise, I have no issues with taking off my clothes” said Abhay.

Hrithik shot another cue and said, “Abhay has in fact gone bottomless in the film. You will see him remove his clothes too.”

Well, the film is themed on the bachelor trip and what less than that will you expect from three males who are out to kiss the rain.
