Katrina: Aanand L Rai took me on unexpected journey with Zero

Katrina Kaif, who is essaying the role of an actor in Zero, credits director Aanand L Rai for taking her on an unexpected journey.

In the director's next Zero, Katrina plays the role of an actor and she says the character is nothing what she is in real life.


"The profession is the same, I am playing an actor in the film and I am actor in real life. The personality and the character is not at all like me. I am a very behaved and sensible person and this character's name is Babita in the film," she said at the film's trailer launch on Friday.

This is the first time Katrina has teamed up with Rai and she said she had an incredible experience working with him.

"The journey he me took on was really unexpected for and mostly importantly new for me. Everyday I felt I am learning something new. Everyday I felt I was scared and what are we doing, what is Aanand sir doing with me? And do I trust him or not trust him? At least he was there with me.

"We were trying to create something new, different and special. For me, as an actor, as a performer, I learnt lot of things. It was an experience in which I gained from tremendously."

Zero reunites Katrina with her Jab Tak Hai Jaan co-stars Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma and she said she felt "nostalgic" when they started working on the new project.

"It was nostalgic day for me. I remember the last film we did together (Jab Tak Hai Jaan) and how much fun we had together. We had an amazing time. Today is bringing back all the memories.

'Resident Evil' trailer repositions the franchise around Austin Abrams’ civilian lead

Highlights

  • Austin Abrams leads the reboot as an ordinary courier caught in chaos
  • Zach Cregger directs a new story with no legacy characters
  • Franchise worth over £950 million globally takes a more grounded approach

An unlikely lead at the centre of horror

The new trailer for Resident Evil shifts the focus away from seasoned fighters and places Austin Abrams at the heart of the outbreak. Playing a courier who stumbles into a crisis in Raccoon City, Abrams represents a different kind of protagonist for the franchise.

There are no familiar heroes this time. Instead, the story follows someone with no experience of survival or combat, caught in a situation that rapidly spirals beyond control. The approach changes the tone, turning the narrative into something more immediate and less predictable.
