Katrina Kaif, who is set to reprise her role as the spy agent Zoya in the upcoming action thriller Tiger 3, has shared a glimpse of her intense training regime for the film. The actress took to Instagram to post a series of videos and a picture, showing her fans how she prepared for the challenging stunts and fight sequences in the movie.
Katrina shares videos and details of her intense fitness training
In the caption, Katrina wrote, “For me, when Tiger time comes, it’s about pushing my limits, testing my endurance, and finding that strength within. Someone once told me, ‘Pain is just another sensation’…Don’t be afraid of it, don’t run from the pain.”
She added, “Many days, I was so tired; it felt different this time…tougher. My body was sore, but I would tell myself to take it as a challenge and see how much I could face today. During training, we created an alter ego. So even if I was tired, SHE wasn’t tired; she was going to war!…Your mind will stop you much before your body does. Once you decide, commit, and do it…no matter what! And the work is ALWAYS worth it.”
The videos show Katrina doing various exercises, such as plie squats with kettlebell, walking front leg raises, and practicing kicks and punches. The picture shows her in a towel, from the much-talked-about scene in the Tiger 3 trailer, where she and Salman Khan are seen escaping from a hotel room.

Katrina also expressed her excitement and nervousness for the film’s release, saying, “I think we were able to deliver even more dynamic action than before, and that’s always our intention…To be better…Looking forward to seeing how you all react to Tiger 3, coming to theaters on November 12.”
Michelle Lee Opens Up About The Towel Fight Scene With Katrina Kaif
Michelle Lee, who has worked with stars like Scarlett Johannson, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and Tom Hardy in films like Black Widow, Pirates of the Caribbean, Bullet Train and Venom, has revealed how she and Katrina prepared for the challenging sequence.
In an interview, Michelle said that she was not surprised that the towel fight scene has become a viral sensation. She reveals Katrina and she had rehearsed for over 2 weeks before they shot the sequence. She said, “I thought it was pretty epic when we were shooting it. We learned and practiced the fight for a couple weeks and then shot it. The set design was absolutely gorgeous and the fight was really fun to do. It was wonderful being on an international film.”
Michelle also praised Katrina for her dedication, professionalism and grace. She said, “Katrina was as graceful and professional as can be. She worked really hard on getting the movements precise and making sure all the movements flow. It was clear she had experience in choreography so it was super easy to work with her. We worked up a sweat.”
Michelle also shared the difficulties they faced while shooting the scene with towels wrapped around their bodies. She said, “One of the main challenges was definitely the wardrobe! Our towels needed to stay in the proper place and with so much movement and fight choreography, it was definitely a challenge. We ended up having the towels sewn closed at certain points and that helped a lot.”
She added, “Another challenge was striking each other in the perfect amount of distance so that it looks close enough to be dangerous and strong but far enough to not actually hurt each other. Can you imagine if I actually got her?! But I’m a professional lol. So things went smoothly, neither of us got hit so we just had to make it work for the camera.”
Tiger 3, directed by Maneesh Sharma, is the third installment in the Tiger franchise, which started with Ek Tha Tiger in 2012 and continued with Tiger Zinda Hai in 2017. The film also stars Emraan Hashmi as the antagonist, and is expected to be a high-octane spy thriller with exotic locations and spectacular action scenes.
