MUMBAI: Katrina Kaif who entered Bollywood in 2003, was almost written off by most in the industry. Now, after having bagged many great roles, cameos and endorsements, Katrina is eagerly looking forward to her forthcoming YRF production with Shah Rukh Khan.

In admiration of the superstar’s energy, Katrina stated to the media, "Shah Rukh is a thorough gentleman and it is a delight to work with him. I admire the sheer energy, hard work and passion that he puts into his work. It is also nice that my first film with him is a Yash Chopra film; they have done some great work together."

Having done three Yash Raj projects so far, Katrina is also in awe of filmmaker Yash Chopra. "Yashji undoubtedly is the king of romance and I have always admired the way he presents his heroines. It was always a dream to work with him and the reality is even better. He is very precise in his brief on what he expects from a scene and extremely perceptive. It has been amazing to work with him," she added.

Other than this project, Katrina is also going to be soon seen in Kabir Khan’s ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ opposite Salman Khan, and ‘Dhoom 3’ with Aamir Khan.

"Dhoom 3 is a concept film and the characters are required to look a certain way and do physically strenuous sequences. So there is a lot of physical training involved to prepare for the role. I am very fortunate that I have been working with some very senior and experienced directors almost from the beginning of my career – Raj Kanwar, Abbas-Mustan, Raj Kumar Santoshi to name a few. I have just gone about doing my work to the best of my abilities and in as professional a manner as possible," she concluded.
