\"Katrina For years, fans have speculated whether choreographer Shakti Mohan<\/a> performed Katrina Kaif<\/a>\u2019s stunts in Dhoom 3\u2019s high-energy song Kamli. Shakti has now put the rumours to rest, opening up about Katrina\u2019s relentless dedication and revealing how the actor chose to push herself physically despite suffering bruises during the shoot.<\/p>\n

\u2018How can I be her body double?\u2019<\/p>\n

Addressing the long-standing speculation, Shakti dismissed the claim outright, pointing out the obvious physical differences between her and Katrina.\u201cHas anyone see me do stunts in reality show Dance India Dance? Also, if I have to be a body double of Katrina Kaif, don\u2019t I have to have a very different type of skin tone? My skin tone and height doesn\u2019t match with her. How can I be her body double?\u201d she told Filmygyan. <\/p>\n

Months of rehearsal before the shoot<\/p>\n

Explaining how the song was prepared, Shakti revealed that she was assisting choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant<\/a> at the time and worked closely with Katrina during rehearsals.\u201cI was assisting Vaibhavi Merchant during the song. This was before I started working as a choreographer. So, Katrina had to do the song solo and they needed somebody to teach her the moves. We rehearsed for 1.5 months. And I had to do the dance in one take,\u201d Shakti shared.<\/p>\n

\u2018Suddenly there was so much pressure on everyone\u2019<\/p>\n

Shakti admitted that Katrina\u2019s commitment raised the bar for everyone on set, including seasoned dancers.\u201cThis was a crazy experience for me because when Katrina came in, suddenly there was so much pressure on everyone that you have to dance like her despite me being a professional dancer. I have been doing this all my life. And Katrina was like I am not going to give up,\u201d she said.She further clarified that while Katrina performed almost everything herself, a stunt double was used only for the most dangerous portions.\u201cShe would perform all the steps one after another minus all the stunts. Just for the stunt, they got the body double from France. Her body double in that song actually settled in India and got married here,\u201d Shakti added. <\/p>\n

Bruises, determination and a heartfelt gesture<\/p>\n

Recalling the physically demanding shoot, Shakti highlighted how Katrina refused to step back even when injured.\u201cThere were so many things that a body double could do instead of her, but Katrina insisted that she wants to do. There was this one very difficult step where you were required to do the back arch, but she didn\u2019t give up. She had bruises all over her body. She is very hard-working,\u201d she said. Shakti also shared a personal moment that stayed with her long after the shoot wrapped up.\u201cAlso, after the shoot got over, she sent me a bag to my home with a very nice note,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For years, fans have speculated whether choreographer Shakti Mohan performed Katrina Kaif\u2019s stunts in Dhoom 3\u2019s high-energy song…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":270126,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[153125,156,9929,13622,153127,153129,153130,153128,153126,409,111,139,69,153124,121395],"class_list":{"0":"post-270125","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-dhoom-3-kamli-song","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-katrina","11":"tag-katrina-kaif","12":"tag-katrina-kaif-body-double","13":"tag-katrina-kaif-body-double-shakti-mohan","14":"tag-katrina-kaif-kamli","15":"tag-katrina-kaif-shakti-mohan","16":"tag-katrina-kaif-stunts","17":"tag-movies","18":"tag-new-zealand","19":"tag-newzealand","20":"tag-nz","21":"tag-shakti-mohan","22":"tag-vaibhavi-merchant"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270125","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=270125"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270125\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/270126"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=270125"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=270125"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=270125"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
