Katrina learns to play the cello

Katrina Kaif is leaving no stone unturned to realistically portray the role of a trained classical musician in Subhash Ghai’s forthcoming musical drama Yuvvraaj, a film that will highlight the arrogance and overconfidence of contemporary youth and how they learn from their mistakes.
Kat, who wanted to be perfect while delivering her expressions and actions on the screen, had got a cello instructor who will teach her to play the stringed instrument on the sets of the film that uses live orchestra for all the songs. Live orchestra is now rarely used in films as almost all artists and composers are into digital recording.
Katrina confirms, “We had a cello teacher on the sets and all songs were done with a real orchestra. It was fun shooting for the film and a completely different experience.”
Yuvvraaj stars Salman Khan as a hero and also has actors Zayed Khan and Anil Kapoor playing key characters. AR Rahman is the music composer for the film while Gulzar has written the lyrics. The film is expected to release on November 21, this year.
Our insider from the crew of the film revealed that appointing a cello teacher was on Ghai wish-list. “The film is about music and Subhashji wanted the actors to look like authentic musicians and deliver realistic performances. He wanted a cello teacher to be appointed for the film and also wanted that person to come to the sets daily and help out Katrina by fine tuning her skills with the instrument. She has rehearsed regularly and we guess that she can play the instrument now,” the source says.
