Choreographer Shakti Mohan On Katrina Kaif Refusing A Body Double For Dhoom 3's Kamli: "She Had Bruises All Over Her Body"

Rumours around dancer Shakti Mohan performing stunts for Katrina Kaif in Dhoom 3's Kamli have been circulating for a while. However, Shakti recently put all such speculation to rest by speaking about how hardworking Katrina is and how she refused to use a body double.

What's Happening

• In a conversation with Filmygyan, Shakti Mohan said, "Has anyone seen me do stunts in the reality show Dance India Dance? Also, if I had to be a body double for Katrina Kaif, wouldn't I need a very different skin tone? My skin tone and height do not match hers. How could I be her body double?"
• Shakti Mohan, who was assisting choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant at the time, recalled the intense rehearsals. She elaborated on how it was an experience she would never forget.
• Shakti Mohan added, "There were so many things that a body double could have done instead of her, but Katrina insisted on doing them herself. There was this one very difficult step that required a back arch. But she did not give up. She is very hardworking; she had bruises all over her body."
• "When Katrina came in, suddenly there was so much pressure on everyone to dance like her, despite being professional dancers. I have been doing this all my life. And Katrina was like, 'I won't give up,'" recalled Shakti Mohan.
• "Also, when the shoot was over, she sent me a bag with a very sweet note," concluded Shakti Mohan.
