'Thugs of Hindostan' a departure for me, says Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif Thursday said "Thugs of Hindostan" is a departure for her after featuring in action blockbuster "Tiger Zinda Hai".

In the trailer of "Thugs of Hindostan", Katrina appears in a glamorous avatar alongside her co-stars Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan and Fatima Sana Shaikh.

"What I am doing in 'Thugs of Hindostan' is completely different from 'Tiger Zinda Hai', which was an action franchise. In this film, my role is less of an action and more of other elements that are required for a film like this.

"In terms of training there wasn't much required but there have been other things that we have put in for this film," Katrina told reporters here at the film's trailer launch.

It is Katrina's second film with director Vijay Krishna Acharya after "Dhoom 3" and she said she loved playing the role of Suraiyya.

"Victor (Acharya) is a phenomenal director. I am blown away by his vision and the spectacle that he tries to create. To be part of this film is a huge honour for me. The kind of entertainment that Victor and the whole team wants to bring to the audience through this film is great. It will be a special film to remember always."
