Katrina under no pressure to follow particular genres

She started her career with out-and-out comedies before making a gradual shift to big budget action films, but actress Katrina Kaif says she does not bound herself to any specific genre.

“I don't have any pressure. I think people make mistake when they start feeling pressurised to follow a genre. May be they feel 'I have to do a comedy film because it's going to make money at the box office' or 'I have to do a serious film as now I need to get a lot of critical acclaim'”.

"Both of those being the driving factors, will compel you to make the wrong decision," Katrina said. For Katrina, doing different kinds of genres is a sign of an actor's evolution, one which they should feel free to do.

"Every actor has a natural evolution. You start out as an actor, you are still learning, trying to find your feet so you do the films which excite you and present you at the time. As you prove yourself, directors get more confident and then you get drawn to slightly off-beat roles.”

While her contemporaries are taking on off-beat films, the actress, who had shed her glamorous avatar for Prakash Jha's 2010 hit ‘Rajneeti’, says she is open to do different roles provided she is content with the film.

“As long as the film and the story is credible and it interests me, I have no reservation about the kind of films I am part of, in terms of genres or the story. But it has to interest me. I need to be drawn towards it.”
