By Kalyani Prasad Keshri
Bollywood
actress
Katrina
Kaif
has
enough
international
appeal
to
charm
the
viewers
and
now
the
'Desi
Barbie" inspired
by
the
actress
will
just
be
an
added
factor
to
it
as
the
doll
is
now
ready
to
get
a
worldwide
launch.
Till
now,
the
Katrina
Kaif
doll
was
enclosed
at
a
Barbie
museum
in
the
US.
Now,
the
makers
have
decided
to
market
the
doll
all
over
the
world
from
this
December.
There
is
a
plan
of
a
global
launch
of
the
doll.
But
at
this
moment,
neither
the
people
related
to
this
Barbie
nor
Katrina
is
allowed
to
open
their
mouth
about
it.
However,
as
per
the
information
from
a
reliable
source,
on
Wednesday,
a
representative
of
the
company
has
reached
Mumbai
to
discuss
about
it
and
has
taken
the
face
shots
of
Katrina
for
developing
the
Barbie
model.
These
dolls
would
be
given
the
exact
look
of
the
actress
and
will
be
offered
in
a
box
carrying
her
description.
A
source
has
informed
that
Katrina
was
in
strong
support
of
marketing
the
dolls
in
India
first.
The
actress
wanted
to
expand
her
'Barbie" image
with
the
help
of
this
doll.
However,
the
dolls
will
not
now
have
a
worldwide
launch
by
this
year-end.
Initially,
the
makers
wanted
the
doll
to
be
dressed
in
only
western
attire
but
on
Katrina"s
insistence
they
also
included
the
Indian
attires
like
sarees
and
salwar-kameezes.
The
source
informed
that
the
selection
of
clothes
and
accessories
for
the
doll
is
being
done
by
Katrina
personally.
