Vicky Kaushal-Katrina Kaif wedding: One-km radius of hotel cordoned off, local cops join security team

The week of the Vicky Kaushal-Katrina Kaif wedding is here, and with it, comes the excitement and the hustle-bustle of last-minute arrangements. Where outfits from Shane and Falguni Peacock's collection are being dropped off at Kaif's Bandra home and celebrity-stylist friend Anaita Shroff Adajania is supervising the final fitting of the bridal trousseau, the frenzy is all the more pronounced in Ranthambore where the shaadi prep is on in full swing. Three days after the administration officials of Sawai Madhopur district had a meeting to review the preparations, it is learnt that about 10 officials from the local police have been deployed to oversee the security at the wedding of the year. They will be working closely with the 40-member security team hired by the couple to ensure the five-day celebration at the Six Senses Fort Barwara is a smooth affair.

A source from Madhopur reveals that besides booking out the royalty-themed resort, surrounding luxury cottages have been booked for the guests. Kaif's director friends Kabir Khan and Ali Abbas Zafar are on the guest list. "The local police have deployed a team of about 10 to ensure there are no roadblocks. The one-kilometre radius around the Fort Barwara property has already been cordoned off. Cops are also on alert for fans masquerading as staff to gatecrash the event. A detailed guest list has been submitted to the local authorities," says the source. The bride and groom are expected to arrive in the Rajasthan district today to kick off the revelry.

"Katrina will be accompanied by mother Suzanne, sister Isabelle and brother Sebastien Laurent Michel. Every member attending the wedding has to carry their vaccination certificates and a negative RT-PCR report, each of which will be verified by the local team as well as the event security team."

With the couple wanting it to be an intimate affair, the security agency is also keeping an eye on the hotel staff to ensure there's no breach of privacy. Another source close to the star couple reveals that the December 9 wedding will only have family and close friends in attendance, whereas the reception will have a head count of 120. "The sangeet night on December 7 will feature a special performance by the couple. It will be followed by mehendi on December 8, the nuptials on December 9, and the after-party the next day. They will host a reception for the industry friends in Mumbai later."

On Sunday, Kaif was spotted at their newly acquired home in Juhu. A source reveals, "Katrina and Vicky are expected to move in by the year-end."
