The shape of the work
The 2000s belonged to New York; the 2020s to 83. Katrina Kaif acted in every film; Kabir Khan directed all of them. Mostly Hindi, with 1 film in Hindi .
Partnership facts
- Kabir Khan cast Katrina in 'New York' (2009) after seeing her in a small role in 'Namastey London'. He bet on her dramatic potential when everyone else saw her as just a dancer.
- On 'Ek Tha Tiger' (2012), Kabir pushed Katrina to do her own stunts — including a rooftop chase in Istanbul. She later said he was the first director who made her feel like an action star, not just a love interest.
- Their 'Ek Tha Tiger' (2012) grossed over 320 crores worldwide and single-handedly revived the spy thriller genre in Bollywood. Without that film, there's no 'Tiger Zinda Hai' or the YRF Spy Universe.
- During 'Phantom' (2015), Kabir and Katrina had a falling out over creative differences on set. They didn't speak for months after the film wrapped. They only patched things up years later at a mutual friend's party.
- Katrina once said about Kabir: 'He doesn't let me get away with anything. He'll make me do the same scene 20 times until I get the emotion right. That's why I trust him completely.' — from a 2015 interview promoting 'Phantom'.
