Her acting skills need some rigorous training, but Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif has proved her dancing talent time and again.

Now the 'Dhoom:3' girl is williing to stretch her limits. The actress has decided to do all the difficult stunts in her upcoming films 'Phantom', 'Bang Bang'.

According to reports, Katrina seemed to be comfortable in her own skin and has refused to take help from body double.

Katrina and her 'Phantom' co-star will also shot underwater. The movie is an action thriller based on the 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai.

Directed by Kabir Khan, the first schedule of the film was shot in the volatile regions of Beirut, Lebanon and then partially shot in Mumbai as well as Kashmir.

The director has some very dangerous underwater stunts in mind for the sequence. Saif and Katrina, who have not attempted similar stunts before are ready to take the risk.

Though a body double is recommended Katrina put her foot down and insisted on doing the stunts.

And for the next few months, Katrina will continue to hit the gym as she will be shooting some of her own stunts for 'Bang Bang' that are being directed by Siddharth Anand.

Her co-star Hrithik Roshan had sustained brain injury last year while doing some stunts for ‘Bang Bang’.

However, now Hrithik is back in full swing and both have begun shooting for ‘Bang Bang’.

While Katrina is game to perform her stunts superstar Salman Khan has four body doubles specialising in different kinds of action for 'Kick' as the movie has several deadly stunts.

A crew member says that it would be foolish for Salman to risk his life all the time.

Recently, his 'Kick' body double landed in the hospital with serious facial injuries.

So next time when you watch a high-octane chase between Salman Khan and Randeep Hooda in Sajid Nadiadwala's forthcoming film Kick, you know it's not Salman.

Salman has done action in 'Ek Tha Tiger', but even there major series of his stunts are performed by stuntman Jawed El Berni, a French boy.

During the filming of 'Ek Tha Tiger' Salman was still recuperating from Trigeminal Neuralgia (a nerve disorder), and therefore was unable to perform too many stunts on his own.
