What’s not surprising is that the towel fight scene has become one of the most talked-about aspects of ‘Tiger 3’, given the incredible skill and effort invested in its execution. Michelle Lee revealed that she rehearsed with Katrina Kaif for over two weeks to perfect the sequence.
Lee further praised Katrina Kaif for her dedication to action sequences, describing her as “graceful and professional.” According to Michelle, Katrina’s commitment to precise movements and choreography made their collaboration seamless. Their hard work and dedication to the scene are evident as they both worked up a sweat during its execution.
The remarkable towel fight sequence in the Hammam presented its own unique set of challenges. Michelle Lee humorously commented, “One of the main challenges was definitely the wardrobe! Our towels needed to stay in the proper place, and with so much movement and fight choreography, it was certainly a challenge. We ended up having the towels sewn closed at certain points, which greatly helped.”
Another challenge was maintaining the right distance during the fight to make it look dangerous and powerful while ensuring safety. Michelle Lee quipped, “Can you imagine if I actually got her?! But I’m a professional, lol. So things went smoothly, and neither of us got hurt. We just had to make it work for the camera.”
‘Tiger 3,’ a part of the YRF Spy Universe, has been produced by Aditya Chopra and directed by Maneesh Sharma. The film is scheduled for a Diwali release on November 12, featuring versions in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
The sizzling towel fight scene in ‘Tiger 3’ promises to be an action-packed highlight in a film that’s eagerly awaited by fans of both Hollywood and Bollywood.
