Hollywood action director to train Katrina Kaif

31st January 2012

Conrad Palmisano is the man behind Sheila LeBeouf’s stunts in "Transformers". Nicolas Cage, too, is busy learning his action sequences from him for his forthcoming film "Seeking Justice". But currently, ace Hollywood action director Conrad Palmisano is busy helping Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan perform some daredevil stunts on the sets of Kabir Khan’s "Ek Tha Tiger" which is currently being shot in Cuba.

Katrina says she  isn’t afraid of performing stunts. Talking about her stunts, Katrina said, “It’s scary. But it is also great fun. I’ve only done very delicate feminine roles till now. This is a new challenge for me. I guess that’s what I’m looking for at this stage of my career.”

An industry insider said, "Katrina wants to prove that she is not just a glam-doll. She is capable to perform stunts, especially the stunts which are generally performed by male actors.She has been doing free-falls and midair fights with Salman.”

Earlier Conrad had given very "gentler" and "feminine" stunts for Katrina to perform. "Two very different sets of stunts were planned for Katrina and for Salman. But Katrina was very adamant and wanted to perform the exact same stunts as Salman was performing. Conrad finally gave in to her wishes," added the insider.

Katrina in fact has been getting up really early to practice her stunts in the beautiful country of Cuba. "She wakes up at the crack of dawn. And she gets down to serious business. She practices every sequence until she gets it right".
