In 2012, Kaif first appeared in a popular item number for Agneepath entitled "Chikni Chameli." The song was shot over ten days and saw her dance to a type of Maharashtrian folk dance called Lavani.[95] Kaif commented on the song: "It was hard work. It was very fast and it was not a style I was used to, but I took it as a challenge."[96] She next appeared in Kabir Khan's espionage thriller Ek Tha Tiger as an ISI agent who falls in love with an Indian RAW agent. Shubhra Gupta of the The Indian Express wrote of Kaif's portrayal: "Katrina is an able, animated foil to Salman, her long legs making her leaps and kicks credible" and "brings the right degree of playfulness" to her character.[97] The film received predominantly positive reviews, with Aniruddha Guha of Daily News and Analysis calling the movie "smart and stylish."[98][99] Kaif's reunion with Salman Khan was widely publicised as it was their first film together after their breakup.[100] The film emerged as a hugely successful project. With worldwide earnings of INR3.1 billion (US$50 million), Ek Tha Tiger became the highest grossing film of the year.[101][102]

The same year, Kaif worked with Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma in Yash Chopra's swan song, the romance Jab Tak Hai Jaan.[103] On working with Chopra, Kaif remarked that he "undoubtedly is the king of romance and I have always admired the way he presents his heroines. It was always a dream to work with him and the reality is even better."[104] Kaif portrayed Meera, a woman who makes a promise with God to end her rendezvous with her coma-stricken lover, given that he survives. While the movie generated mostly positive reviews, Kaif's portrayal attracted a mixed reception.[105] While Lisa Tsering of The Hollywood Reporter called her performance "charismatic and physical," Rohit Vats published that "Meera's role was a difficult one and Katrina falls short in emotional scenes. It seems Katrina still doesn't feel very easy in front of the camera and has difficulty with complex expressions."[106][107] Commercially, the film proved a box office hit with revenues of INR2.11 billion (US$34 million) worldwide.[108] Her performances in Ek Tha Tiger and Jab Tak Hai Jaan earned Kaif her second Screen Award for Best Actress (Popular Choice).[109]
In 2013, Kaif appeared in the action thriller Dhoom 3. Directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, the film saw Kaif as a circus performer alongside Aamir Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra.[110] In preparation for her role, Kaif engaged in an intense regime of pilates, functional training and Aerial straps over the course of one year.[111] The movie attracted mixed reviews from critics, as did Kaif's brief role in the film.[112] Deepanjana Pal of Firstpost questioned Kaif's willingness to take on the part and remarked that "[s]he's barely there in the film."[113] Her performance was more favourably reviewed by Taran Adarsh: "Katrina looks ethereal and her acrobats will catch you unaware. Moving with incredible grace in dance numbers, she's sure to astonish the viewer with her dexterous act no end."[114] Earning over INR5 billion (US$81 million) worldwide, the film emerged as the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time.[115][116] Kaif's next appearance was in Siddharth Anand's Bang Bang! (2014), a remake of the 2010 action comedy Knight and Day.[117] Kaif played the role of a bank receptionist who inadvertently meets and falls in love with a mysterious man (played by Hrithik Roshan) on a secret mission. Raja Sen of Rediff.com was disappointed with her performance, calling it "insufferable."[118] While a commercial success, financial analysts observed that despite a strong opening, the film failed to meet expectations regarding its box office performance.[119]
As of November 2014, Kaif has completed work on Kabir Khan's post 26/11 counter-terrorism drama Phantom with Saif Ali Khan.[120] She is filming for Anurag Basu's comedy-mystery film Jagga Jasoos alongside Ranbir Kapoor.[121] She is also scheduled to film for Abhishek Kapoor's adaptation of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations entitled Fitoor, in which she will play a role based on the character of Estella Havisham with Aditya Roy Kapur and Rekha.[122]
