Director Kabir Khan has come clean about a rumoured incident that was said to have taken place on the sets of his upcoming summer blockbuster EK THA TIGER regarding the two leads:
“Katrina and Salman go back a long way. He was very involved in their scenes together and her costumes. They have a certain equation. Even Salman seeks her opinion. But yes, there was an incident where they disagreed over Katrina’s costume in the song. It was over a particular cut in the black blouse she has worn with a yellow skirt”.
I am glad that Katrina stood her ground and wore the bra. I wouldn't have even thought it was risque if this story did not come out.

Lol people are criticizing Salman now eh? He never stopped her from doing her Touch me touch me and bazillion other item songs, so controlling her is out of the question.
Salman is always concerned that his films should not be offensive to family audiences. For example, during AAA, in one shot Raveena's underwear could be seen and Salman insisted on a retake because of that. Raveena initially thought he was being bothersome but eventually thanked him. Even during CCCC, Preity did a scene which was pretty cheap, and Salman intervened and they redid the shot to make it less awkward for the family audiences. In this song, Katrina is only wearing the lace pullover during the step where she is jumping. If she didn't put it on, her boobs would be bouncing all over because the top is tiny- this is vulgar. He didn't intervene when she's just standing there posing in tt skimpy top.
Now, if the teenage girls over here think that a man who always makes sure women are presented in a dignified manner is evil, then so be it. He never dictates what the actresses do OUTSIDE of his films, they can do the sleaziest things in their other films and he wouldnt say a thing. And Salman dated Katrina EVEN THOUGH she did Boom, keep tt in your pretty heads before calling him chauvinistic.
All of Katrina's clothes in this song are skimpy, so if Salman wants to dictate what she wears, why does he only pick the yellow skirt outfit? She wore something similar in the Bodyguard title song too. Like anon below said, it's probably cos of the choreography tt he doesnt approve of that particular outfit. Why are ppl so quick to judge?
And voiceswriter, the original article (the TOI one) clearly has Kabir saying that Salman and Katrina discuss things, not Salman dictates what Katrina wears.
Lol anon in bold who criticises Salman in every post, you just proved that Salman does not in fact dictate what women wear. Genius. And what do YOU think of Katrina appearing in the middle of a circle bed wearing sheets, surrounded by numerous men in what looks like a prelude to an orgy in Sheila Ki Jawani? Salman did not stop her from doing that did she? Btw, Kabir Khan has clarified that Salman did not hit Katrina, so keep on dreaming.
@voiceswriter Yes, you go and watch Boom and see how much covering up a little has helped her career. Otherwise like the anon said below, she'd be stuck doing sleazy things in B grade films. Go on, you can YouTube her scenes.
And you may not think its vulgar bla bla, but my family always changes the channel when this song comes on because of her clothes. Are you going to accuse as of being regressive now because we don't want the kids to pick up the objectification of women? It is out of respect for Katrina and her body that we change the channel.
I don't understand why the men have to decide the women honour.....if they have to they should take action and get those who molested the girl out in public for the entire nation to see. the poor girl was decently dressed and it happened to her.
Thank god, I live in Canada where don't focus their energy on what a women should wear. if a women wants to wear a hijab that her right and if she wants to wear shorts that's her right. All the guys I know here have other things on their mind like paying rent , paying student loans , going home and cleaning. Even most of the rich millionaires' kids earn their own money , use public transport and pay for their own stuff
So Salman Khan beats Katrina Kaif up when she wears revealing clothes even though she is nothing to him, but he enjoys dancing to "munni badnaam" with his own sister-in-law who wears tiny tiny clothes all the time and neither Salman Khan nor his brother say anything to her??? Wah wah, the hypocrisy of Salman Khan and his blind fans!
BTW, I must rent this BOOM people keep talking about.
Anonymous, I respect all cultures so please don't pull that card on me. I did not write the song. Obviously, if I knew she was lipsynching about God while exposing her body like that I would have said so. Nowhere does it indicate that the song is about God, just ask the people who translated when the song first came out. Salman is muslim and he danced with and lipsyched to the words too.

She looked much better when she took Salman's suggestion and put that lace thing over her bra. Plus the song is "Mashaalah," she is insulting God by prancing ard practically naked.
Why in the world do girls today think that wearing no clothes means liberty? What is wrong w a man looking after the decency of a woman he cares for? Don't your boyfriends, dads or brothers do the same? They're only doing it so that you dont turn into an object of spectacle infront of other men. An objectified thing is not humane.
------------------------------------
No the men in my life- dad, brother, husband does not decide what I should wear. I know how to dress an dpresent my self well and they respect that I am an adult. Bu then I am not a tashsha wali who has already exposed almost everything of my body to the world. She has been around the block many times as has he so who is decent here? Now ae you also of gthe opinion that men can do whatever ans they are still pious?

what kind of defense is that? Till women don't get complete choice to drape their bodies the way they want to, you'll continue to shame them? And also, you made a sweeping comment on all the women, not just one of celluloid. And yes, women do have the choice to wear hijabs if they want to.
Are the people celebrating Kat's bra top here the same people who criticized her in Boom? Just saying.

@voiceswriter How abt respecting others' culture? Arab ppl usually dont use Mashaallah for this kind of portrayal of women, and as much as you Westernised folks things its okay to walk ard naked, ppl who think otherwise also have a point.
Thank god he made her wear the lace cardigan. The later step required her to jump and her boobs would be bouncing all over. Vulgar.
So it's about choice, really? If it really is about choice, women in hijab should also be accepted in mainstream cinema. Does that happen? No. And if you think actresses wear skimpy clothes out of choice and not to attract the male gaze, than so be it. I'll choose to disagree.
It's simple, it's supposed to be a family film and her clothes are not appropriate for family viewing.
she says she wont wear a bikni in dhoom 3.. bt she wore a bra. nd she does wear realy short skirts as well... so y NO for a bikni? 0_0
salmans equation with katrina is definitely one reason why she is where she is. of course its
her good luck hard work and drop dead gorgeous looks also, but so many other good looking
girls dont make it big, this movie looks like it will make the masses and classes happy, kabir
khan is kind of yuppie, i dnt think he will make a trashy movie
Am sure whatever suggestion Salman made was only to better the visuals in the song. May b in his personal opinion the dress did not suit the mood of the song or something like that. Otherwise Kat wore something similarly revealing in the Bodyguard title track but Salman had no problem then, why would he now.
what salman possibly has to say??? Well, may be: jab aurat jaat kapde utaarne pe aaye to khud allah bhi use nahin rok sakta.....
Now she is insulting God? How? There is nothing wrong with what she is wearing. At least she has clothes on.
I hope it was a general principle in his life but he can impose it on poor katrina only

You are talking as if men come from another planet, the fact that men are genetically predisposed to see every move of a woman, even if they are not trying, it is naive that women can wear anything and men are supposed to not get attracted to it.Then a woman should be able to wear a bikini in the office , if it is too hot, because she can wear what she wants to and men don't need to get distracted by her.Ever thought why directors make their heroines wear skimpy clothes? yes to attract men to the theaters, why chikni chameli went on to become so hot? because it was sexy to straight men and thus got too many hits on you tube alone much before the film release.Katrina's whole career is based on her looks and sexy dressing and you are telling us, men shouldn't look at women.I can understand too, that what Katrina wanted to wear is her own choice, depending on her comfort level, the day she will refuse to wear such clothes herself will be end of her career, and she wants to work as long as it lasts.

Oh shut up. It is not about short clothes, it is about choice. Women are entitled to wear whatever the fuck they want to because it is their body. They get to choose what they want to drape it with. The fact that you are so obsessed with male gaze proves what a chauvinist you are. Women should not wear revealing clothes because men will objectify them? How about men stop objectifying women and labeling them a certain way because of their clothes? Women can't make decisions regarding their own body because men will think dirty? And you talk about being liberal? Screw you. Men should stop objectifying women because they are humans with a fundamental right to make decisions for themselves.
omg so bad from salu, that he didnt want a girl to become an object for other men to lust over, such a bad man how he can be like this....he should be like this for his family...too bad to treat other girls like his family member as well, LOllllllllllllllll,,,,,,get a life peeps....if putting cloth on her is insulting her, then to hell with her...salman deserves MUCH better than hungry for fame girls around him, no matter how much he loved them...they want exposing/fame only

What is the big deal if Salman wanted her to cover herself up? Sallu,if she does not respect herself then let her be! Bollywood heroines are used as showpieces,just for their figure and sensuality. Only a few actress have some sense of worth! Unfortunately Katrina is not one of them,and to all the men here who think salman's opinion is very "unclassy" - well if wearing a 'bra' and a skirt is classy why not let your daughters and wives wear them? Revealing is NOT CLASSY. PERIOD.
------------------------------------
100% agree with u
If he the puritan, as he wants to project himself, the 'charity' of advise should begin from his house hold. He must restrain his sister-in-law Malllailka khan from putting all the revealing show in 'item' numbers, which she has been doing left right and center for millions of Rs. At least she is in the family officially, unlike Kat, who is not yet an 'official' family member to Sallu. !! Ironically, this time the so called 'Tiger' has two sets of teeth like an elephant. !! Sallubhai, yeh jo public hai wo sab janati hai !!".
Salman know what looks better, and as for Adi and Kabir, they just adore Salman, do not forget Salman is close buddy for Rani, he is one who supports Rani and Adi to be together, i think after Ek tha Tiger we will ger to knwo that Ranbi and Adi are ready to marry, adn they will be thankfull to Salman that he gave them all time blokbuster movie, the nothing liek this happened to Yash Raj before, just look the box oofice, they have lots of film, but still non of them ARE 100 CR. IT IS SALMAN WHO CAN DO 100+ CR MOVIES EASILY AND WE KNWO HOW aDITYA BAGGED SALMAN TO BE THE PART OF YASH RAJ
GET THE FACT CORRECTLY, GO GOOLE AND YOU WILL FIND LOTS OF INFO ABOUT IT, HOW ADI AND KABIR WENT SEVERAL TIMES TO SALMAN'S HOME AND ASK SALMAN TOBE PART OF THEIR PROJECT
