MUMBAI:

Katrina Kaif has been entering the laughter zone once too often in her career. Currently, she is shooting for Vipul Shah’s comedy Singh Is King.

But one non-comedy role that Katrina is shooting is for Subhash Ghai’s Main Yuvraaj. She teams up with Salman Khan and Arjun Rampal in the movie.

“And I get to play the cello in Subhash Ghai’s film. The thing with the cello is, you can’t completely learn to play it all at once, like the piano or the ‘sitar’. It’s an instrument that takes years to master.” Katrina sat with an orchestra player in Mumbai to get the body posture of the cello player right.

“Luckily for me, Subhash Ghai’s film has a thematic continuity, which runs through the soundtrack. That’s the one with which I have familiarised myself with on the cello. I learnt the chords for that piece of choreography. When people see me doing that piece, they wouldn’t find me faking it.”

“We were shooting in a castle in Austria with a German orchestra conductor guiding my movements. When I got it right, I ran screaming to Salman, Arjun and everyone on the sets. Subhash Ghai had to calm me,” she added. — HNS
