Katrina Kaif seems to be on an experimenting spree when it comes to her on-screen wardrobe. After donning a casual college girl look in New York, the actor will be seen in an Amrapali-like avatar in Priyadarshan’s De Dana Dan. Katrina Kaif, who’s currently in London to spend time with her family, has just finished shooting for a song Main baarish kardoon paiso ki for the Venus production at Mehboob Studios in Mumbai. Choreographed by Ganesh Hegde, the track composed by Pritam is an energetic, fun and contemporary number that sees Katrina Kaif and Akshay Kumar undergoing three or four costume changes, according to producer Ratan Jain. The song also features the other lead actors– Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Sameera Reddy and Neha Dhupia in contemporary costumes.

Talking about Katrina’s look in the song over an email from London, designer Rocky S, says, “The brief given to me about the song in order to design Katrina’s look was that it was energetic, fun and contemporary. Since we wanted a retro-ethnic look, I felt it could be well-achieved through an Amrapali look, adorned with traditional jewellery like baju bandhs and mukuts.” Commenting on whether Katrina, who’s never donned an ethnic Indian grab before, had any apprehensions about the look, Rocky clarifies, “There were no apprehensions whatsoever from Katrina or the director once we discussed the idea. In fact, Katrina was a great sport and felt quite confident with the experimentation of outfits. The transition from the retro-look to an ultra-glam diva ensemble and eventually a new-age hip-hop artiste was pulled off by Katrina with much aplomb.” As for the rest of the film, Katrina has a fresh, clean and young persona in the film with a couple of saris as well, according to the designer.

With the film’s shoot now wrapped up, Akshay Kumar too has flown down to London, along with Kambakkth Ishq producer Sajid Nadiadwala, to shoot for his next - Housefull - directed by Sajid Khan.
