Katrina Kaif ~ the name reminds you of a well dressed lady with flawless skin and an English accent with wich she speaks Hindi. But if we told you that Katrina Kaif is a downtown girl wearing flashy clothes, cheap ear rings, loud make up and moving raunchily to thumping beats; would you believe us? Maybe not. But it is time you start imagining the classy Kat in the avatar of an item girl. In Farah Khan’s Tees Maar Khan, she plays an item girl. Quite a shock isn't it? There is more to come when you actually see her making suggestive gestures and sporting all those clothes that suit Rakhi Sawant and Sherlyn Chopra.

Suddenly, Katrina’s manner and speech have become loud and demonstrative even early in the morning at Malshej Ghat, where the film is currently being shot. The schedule begins at 5am every morning and the actress is giving loads of effort to look effortless in each of the item songs, being choreographed by Farah and her assistant Gita Kapur. In fact Katrina has even shopped for her character’s look, right from clothes to accessories in small shops that sell cheap stuff. Commenting on her shopping frenzy, Katrina says, “It is a challenge doing a complete look for my character. I guess I learnt that from Raajneeti. Every accessory makes you feel more like the character.”

Item numbers right from Mumtaz’s Tik tiki tik mera dil bole in Humjoli (1970) to Bipasha Basu’s Beedi jalaile in Omkara (2006), re helping her to get a more comprehensive understanding of the typical Bollywood item girl. Akshay has been teaching Katrina the art of losing one’s inhibitions while dancing on camera. Katrina says, “I’ve always wanted to freak out on camera, to just get wild. This is my chance.”
