Katrina bats for Bangalore Royal Challengers

Gorgeous Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif will make her presence felt at IPL events and functions supporting Vijay Mallya's cricket team.

"Let it be clear that Katrina is the face of Mallya's cricket team but not a brand ambassador to the business tycoon's Royal Challenger products," clarified a source close to the actress.

With Vijay Mallya choosing Katrina to do the honours for the Bangalore Royal Challenger team, it proves that she is in great demand.

Only a few get to hit a six and Katrina has done just that. She holds this opportunity with immense pride. More so because she was zeroed in over several other actresses. In fact, her contemporaries, whom we would not like to name, vied to be official representatives of Mallya's IPL team but lost out to her, making them turn green with envy.

The success of Race and now the back bone of IPL team, Katrina cannot help but smile over the feathers in her cap. Feathers of achievements, acknowledgements and honours!

The actress will be shooting an exclusive solo music video for Vijay Mallya's team to be directed by Sanjay Gupta.

Katrina Kaif today ranks amongst the top league of actresses. She was the only actress to have given four hits last year, Partner, Namastey London, Apne and Welcome. And this year she practically 'raced' ahead of her competitors with Race, the biggest hit of the year.

Singh Is Kinng is all set for release and people have already begun talking about Katrina's 'hattrick'!
