Katrina Kaif is hotter than ever, says Khan

If director Farah Khan is to be believed, we’ll see a new side to Bollywood diva Katrina Kaif when “Tees Maar Khan” hits cinemas this Christmas.

“You will see Katrina in a new avatar. She has never looked this hot. Audiences will be in for a treat,” Khan told rediff.com.

Kaif plays the love interest of Akshay Kumar’s Tabrez Mirza Khan, an international con artist who “calls himself half-Robin Hood because he robs from the rich but doesn't give it to the poor”.

Khan says Kaif’s new skills are completely showcased in the item song “Sheela Ki Jawani”, where her character woos the conman.

“Katrina does a bit of belly dancing [to that song]. We got her trained for it,” Khan said.

She has not revealed whether Kaif and ex-boyfriend Salman Khan share screen time together, although the “Dabangg” actor is certainly in the film, she says.

“The media was spreading rumours that Salman was doing an item number in the film. At the same time, I had met him, and told him to actually do the song. He agreed instantly,” she told the publication.
