Katrina Kaif: I really think someone should make a superheroine film in Bollywood

Actress Katrina Kaif will soon be seen, upping her action quotient in the Salman Khan starrer 'Tiger Zinda Hai' and boy does she look amazing in the poster. Recently, in an interview with a leading entertainment media portal, Katrina spoke about enjoying action-oriented movie outings and why she feels times are changing for women in the industry.
Talking about how times are changing from when earlier action roles weren't written for women, she stated, "Obviously, that is changing. There are women doing primary action-oriented roles too. Everyone’s attempting it. It’s not that women aren’t getting action roles. Such films are written for heroines too but yes, you are right, it’s comparatively fewer in number. The men do get to do more action. But I have some really crazy action in 'Tiger Zinda Hai' and I have trained really hard for it. I hope that they turn out well and the audiences love it."
When asked if she has ever thought of doing an out-and-out action film, the actress said, "I haven’t really liked some of the full-blown action films that I was offered in the past. I would anyway rather do 50 per cent action in a cohesive, coherent, entertaining film than doing 100 per cent of the action scenes in a film that’s completely helter-skelter, and doesn’t come together as a script. I can’t say yes to films that I’m not going to sit and watch myself. There are many films offered to me where you may have a protagonist’s role. But I have never felt so far that the stories in those films were completely put together. Also, there are some films which I let go of and I chose to do another film, which in retrospect may not have been the wisest move. But the film has to work in totality. I am not such a megalomaniac that I need to see myself in every frame."
When asked if she would like to play the role of a superheroine, she said, "Of course, I would love to play a superheroine. Why not? I have always loved superheroines. Actually, there are quite a few characters that I personally love. There are also some discussions on this, so I won’t say too much."
Talking about 'Krrish 4', she said, "No, I have not been approached for 'Krrish 4'. Neither have I had any discussions on that. But yes, I know a few people who are planning and developing some comics like that into films. But yes, 'Krrish' is again an excellent franchise where they also had a superheroine with Kangana’s character and I think they should definitely have the superheroine bit in it."
