It’s intimidating to do action alongside Akshay: Taapsee

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Actress Taapsee Pannu says it is scary to do an action movie alongside Akshay Kumar as he is a force to be reckoned with in that genre. Taapsee will be seen in the lead role in “Naam Shabana”, which also features Akshay in an extended cameo.

“I was getting trained by people Akshay had assigned for me. They were task masters. He was not present during the training period so I don’t know how he is on ground. “But he sets the expectation meter very high and it is very intimidating to do an action film where he also is a part of the film as people expect that level of action,” Taapsee told.

She says filming the Shivam Nair-directed movie was definitely a challenge but her training helped her a lot while performing the action sequences. This is the second time Taapsee has worked with Akshay, they have previously done “Baby” together and she is all praise for the “Airlift” star.
