RECENT WORKS
(2013-present)
Kaif's first release of 2010 was Prakash Jha's political thriller Raajneeti, where she appeared opposite Ranbir Kapoor and Arjun Rampal. The film was a modern-day
adaptation of The Mahabharata set against the political
backdrop of Delhi. Nana Patekar, Manoj Bajpai and Shruti Seth also played starring roles. Upon
release, the film performed extremely well at the box office, and earned Kaif
favourable reviews for her portrayal of the dynamic Indu Sakseria. A
sequel of Rajneeti is expected to show Katrina Kaif as the
queen sized politician.However Ranbir Kapoor would not be a part of the
sequel.
Her final release that year was Farah Khan's brainless comedy Tees
Maar Khan with Akshay Kumar.
Despite receiving unanimous negative reviews from critics and audiences alike,
the film was a moderate success at the box office, receiving "Semi Hit" status
by Box Office India
However, Kaif's item number Sheila
Ki Jawani became a major chartbuster.

In 2011, she was seen alongside Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Abhay Deol and Kalki Koechlin in Zoya Akhtar's dramedy Zindagi
Na Milegi Dobara, which
emerged as a major critical and commercial success. Kaif was praised for her
portrayal of a fun-loving diving instructor Laila. Taran Adarsh wrote, "Katrina
is a revelation...the actress continues to surprise you with her performances in
film after film." She
next featured in Yash Raj Films' comedy Mere
Brother Ki Dulhan opposite Imran Khan and Ali Zafar. The
film was successful at the box office, and earned Kaif positive notice for her
portrayal of vivacious punk-rock girl Dimple Dixit, with Rahul Gangwani saying
"the film ultimately belongs to Katrina Kaif. She sparkles, sizzles and infuses
energy into the film."
Consequently, she received her second Filmfare nomination in the Best Actress
category.
Kaif's first release of 2012 was Kabir Khan's spy thriller Ek Tha
Tiger opposite ex-boyfriend Salman Khan. The film opened on 15 August 2012,
broke many records and was a huge success commercially. Kaif's second release of
2012 was Yash
Chopra's romance Jab Tak Hai Jaan alongside Shah
Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma. As of August 2012, Kaif is set to
appear in two high-profile productions; Vijay Krishna Acharya's adventure film
Dhoom 3 alongside Aamir Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Uday
Chopra and Siddharth Anand's Bang Bang opposite Hrithik Roshan.
It should be noted that due to her poor knowledge of Hindi (and other Indian languages), Kaif's voice
was often dubbed by dubbing artists such as Mona Ghosh Shetty.
However, with the exception of De Dana Dan she has used her own voice for
all of her films since New York. Earlier, she had dubbed for films
like Namastey London and Singh Is Kinng.
