*The one & only Katrina Kaif's Heaven*game;97 - Page 103

So what does Tom Cruise think, huh? That only he can jump up and down on a couch and grab world attention?

Bah! Our Katrina Kaif is far prettier on the eyes and can do the same thing — to trigger a chain reaction worldwide (remember, she is the most searched for name on the internet?).

Well, Tom jumped on Oprah Winfrey's sofa to announce his love for Katie Holmes. And gorgeous Katz did so on an interview with Omar Qureshi on ZOOM, along with Ranbir Kapoor. Suddenly, without warning, while talking about her exciting new film, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, Katrina went into 'Hyper City' mode and jumped up and down on the couch to shout how excited she was about the film. Even Ranbir gaped open-mouthed for a moment. But then quickly revealed that Katz's code name on the sets was 'Hyper City'.

"So when she's very happy, we used to call her 'Hyper City Happy Hour'. When she was in a bad mood, we said, 'Hyper City is closed'. Or just plain Hyper City on normal days. We didn't need any espresso shots on this set for sure," revealed Ranbir. Later she pulled the interviewer out of his chair and grilled him instead.

It was an interview that was zany and crazy as hell; and you can imagine when they were asked how it felt to be 'hot property' — Ranbir added, "We're like, hotter property than Malabar Hill and Pali Hill combined man. The stocks are still rising," even as Ms Hyper Katz giggled non stop. Talk about exciting chemistry, these two have arrived — with a bang. Don't believe us? Watch the show for yourself.

How much does it cost to hire Katrina Kaif's services in Bollywood for a day?

Exactly Rs 15 lakh! This is the amount reached by the actress herself. And which she apparently carried, in cash, onto Prakash Jha's sets of Rajniti recently when she thought she might have to compensate the filmmaker for wasting one day's shooting.

The story goes that Katz, the only female character in Jha's heavyduty set-up headed by Nana Patekar, Ajay Devgn, Manoj Bajpayee, Randhir Kapoor and Arjun Rampal, is atrocious in her delivery of Hindi dialogue. And in Rajniti, which she is very excited about, the actress is the focal point of the script and has a lot of lines. But Katz has been taking her Hindi dialogue delivery lessons seriously and is hellbent on getting the accent and pronunciation right.

Now comes the twist. On one particular day during her recent stint in Bhopal, Katz found herself staring at sheets of lengthy dialogues and realised she would need an extra day to prepare if she was to get it right. So, she went up to Jha and told him about her predicament. And even before the filmmaker, who's had enough grief with this film, could bat an eyelid, the professional girl volunteered to compensate him for her's day's shooting expenses.

Jha confirmed the story. "It was a truly professional gesture and I'm very touched,'' he said. Of course, he didn't take the money and gave his actress the one extra day she needed. Only to be rewarded on day two. Unit hands say that Katrina had taken it as a challenge and knew every dialogue pat. She surprised everyone present on the set with her spoken lines. And so, continues to be the flavour of the season.
