With the successful Tiger franchise, Katrina Kaif became the first female spy in the YRF Spy Universe. She returns as the feisty Zoya, pulling off death-defying action sequences in Tiger 3. Her towel fight scene in the Tiger 3 trailer caught attention and netizens are curious to watch the same on the big screen on November 12.

With less than a week left for the grand and much-awaited Tiger 3 release, Katrina fans eagerly wait to watch her transform into Zoya and ace some jaw-dropping stunts. Teasing the audience about the level of action they can expect, the actress shared glimpses of her training for the film.

Sharing a post including videos from her training session, Katrina wrote, "For me, when tiger time comes, it's about pushing my limits, testing my endurance, and finding that strength within. Someone once told me, "Pain is just another sensation " ….Don't be afraid of it, don't run from the pain. Many days, I was so tired; it felt different this time…tougher. My body was sore, but I would tell myself to take it as a challenge and see how much I could face today."

She further added, "During training, we created an alter ego. So even if I was tired, SHE wasn't tired; she was going to war!….your mind will stop you much before your body does. Once you decide, commit, and do it… no matter what! And the work is ALWAYS worth it. I think we were able to deliver even more dynamic action than before, and that's always our intention……To be better……. Now waiting to share #Tiger3 with the world ….. nervous, excited …Just a few more days to go."

In a statement previously, Katrina spoke about performing action sequences in Tiger 3. She said, "I love how Zoya can match anyone with her grit and courage. She doesn't back down from a fight. She can be as good as, if not better than, a man when it comes to doing action. She can pull off some complicated [stunts] with ease, like the one you see a sneak peek of in the trailer."

She added, "I love action as a genre, and playing a spy is a dream come true. I knew this was going to be a part of my legacy, so I would always give my 200 per cent to this franchise. Every Tiger film has taken Zoya's character a notch above. She has fought harder, and it has been bloodier."

Tiger 3, co-starring Salman Khan and Emraan Hashmi, is directed by Maneesh Sharma. The film will open in Hindi, Tamil dubbed and Telugu dubbed versions on November 12. It is produced by Yash Raj Films.
