Katrina Kaif is happy that some Bollywood actresses are shifting to Hollywood

#KatrinaKaif #fitoor With many actresses of Bollywood moving out to Hollywood, the 32-year-old Katrina Kaif has indicated tat she would prefer to remain in Bollywood and grab good roles. The ‘Bang Bang’ star feels that the exodus would give her an opportunity to get meatier roles and enjoy, when others are busy trying their luck in the west.
This has been reported in ibnlive.com dated 6 February 2016.

As she puts it, with many of the actresses going to Hollywood, she would face less competition. She can now sit and get better roles by default, become more available and capitalize on the good characters. Her upcoming film is ‘Fitoor’ and she wants to stay back and take up 'risky' projects like the Kashmir-based love saga.
In her opinion, 'Fitoor' is more of a risky film because it does not have the usual song and dance routine and, one would need to have guts to make such films. Her last outing was "Phantom" and it did not perform as well as the makers had expected it to. The film ‘Fitoor’ is an adaptation of Charles Dickens' celebrated novel ‘Great Expectations’ and Katrina plays the role Firdaus (Estella). She admits that working with Tabu was a "bonus" for her. Tabu, is playing the role of Katrina's mother in the film. It was, initially, supposed to be played by Rekha.
'Fitoor' is directed by Abhishek Kapoor and produced by UTV Motion Pictures and will hit the screens on February 12.
