Katrina Kaif On Towel Scene In Tiger 3: ‘It Was A Difficult Sequence To Shoot’
Katrina Kaif has talked about the challenges she faced while shooting for a towel fight scene in her upcoming spy film Tiger 3. In an interview with Mid-Day, Katrina, who plays Zoya in the action film, said the ‘hand-to-hand fighting inside a steamy hammam’ was difficult to film.
She is seen wrapped in a towel fighting Hollywood stuntwoman and actor Michelle Lee’s character in the scene. Katrina will be seen opposite Salman Khan’s superspy Tiger in Tiger 3.

Katrina Kaif said, “It was a difficult sequence to shoot because it has hand-to-hand fighting inside a steamy hammam. [Due to the steam], gripping, fending, and landing the punches and kicks was a challenge.
I don’t think there has been a fight sequence like this featuring two women on screen in India.” Katrina added, “I love doing risky action sequences, and this franchise has always given me the opportunity to take things several notches higher. [In] Zoya, the audience gets to see a woman who can fight as well as a man.”
Talking about the scene, Katrina was also quoted as saying in a recent DNA report, “I’m aware that the towel fight sequence at the Hammam from Tiger 3 has gone viral.
It was a very, very difficult sequence to shoot because it has incredible hand-to-hand fighting inside a steamy Hammam room so gripping, fending, landing the punches and the kicks everything was very difficult. Hats off to Adi for thinking of this brilliant scene because I don’t think there has been a fight sequence like this featuring two women on screen in India.
The way Maneesh and the action team executed it was just incredible – everything was detailed out to a T. So, it was a total team effort which people are loving.”
