The actress is learning dirt bike riding and also learn deep-sea diving for Zoya Akhtar’s Running With The Bulls
Katrina Kaif is going all out to prepare for Zoya Akhtar’s next film Running With The Bulls with Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol. Currently the actress is learning dirt bike riding after which she will learn deep-sea diving.
The actress confirms from London, “Zoya’s film is a very contemporary one and I play a very outdoorsy character. I am not an action girl but I get to do stuff like dirt bike riding and deep sea diving, so it’s better than I learn these skills before we start shooting.”
Spanish shoot
Kat, who trains with Jasmine Karachiwala, says after she returns, she will enroll in a deep-sea diving course in Mumbai.
“I have done some diving in Mauritius when I was there on a holiday and learnt some basic stuff while shooting for an underwater ad with the equipment used for diving but Zoya wants some hardcore scenes underwater for which I have to be properly trained.” The under-sea portions will be shot in Spain.”
Though Katrina doesn’t plan to be a certified deep-sea diver she plans to learn it seriously. She wants to take time off from her work schedule and apply herself to it religiously, as she is not entirely comfortable in the ocean.
“I have told Zoya to let me do the scenes in shallow waters as I am bit nervous about shooting underwater. The deep sea is very mysterious and I feel bit scared at finding out what’s there.”
Besides that, Katrina is looking forward to working with Abhay, Hrithik and Farhan and her director, “Zoya’s got a definite vision and her genre of filmmaking is to be lauded. Running With The Bulls is one of the best scripts that I have read so far.”
