Michelle Lee On a Towel Fight Scene

She States, “I’m not surprised. I thought it was pretty epic when we were shooting it. We learned and practiced the fight for a couple of weeks and then shot it. The set design was absolutely gorgeous and the fight was really fun to do. It was wonderful being on an International film.”
Michelle admires Katrina Kaif’s commitment to mastering action scenes, expressing her deep respect. “Katrina was incredibly graceful and professional,” Michelle praises. “She put in a lot of effort to perfect the movements, displaying her expertise in choreography.

Michelle Lee Unveils About The Challenges She Faced in Tiger 3
According to Michelle, the most challenging part of the Hammam sequence was handling the towels draped around their bodies. The Tiger 3 actress says, “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 definitely a challenge. We ended up having the towels sewn closed at certain points and that helped a lot.”
She adds, “Another challenge was striking each other in the perfect amount of distance so that it looks close enough to be dangerous and strong but far enough to not actually hurt each other. Can you imagine if I actually got her?! But I’m a professional lol. So things went smoothly, neither of us got hit so we just had to make it work for the camera.”
