Kangana begins training for her action films 'Tejas,' 'Dhaakad'
Actor Kangana Ranaut, who recently wrapped up shooting for Thalaivi, has returned to her hometown Manali and begun training for her upcoming action movies. The 33-year-old star has Tejas and Dhaakad in the pipeline, where she will be seen essaying the roles of an Indian Air Force pilot and a spy, respectively. Earlier today, she shared a video of her training session. Here's more.
She called herself 'Bollywood's first-ever legitimate action heroine'
In the video, the actor can be seen training against a scenic backdrop. From kicks, punches, floor exercises to handstands and somersaults, Kangana is seen doing it all. "I have started action training for my upcoming action films Tejas and Dhakaad," she captioned the post. Kangana also said that after her period movie Manikarnika's release, she has given Bollywood its "first-ever legitimate action heroine."
Here is Kangana's tweet
I have started action training for my upcoming action films #Tejas and #Dhakaad I play a Fauji and a Spy respectively in these films. Bollywood ki thali may have given me a lot but post Manikarnika success I too have given Bollywood it’s first ever legitimate action heroine ❤️ pic.twitter.com/0gkNqk3yuo

She also apparently took a dig at Jaya Bachchan
By mentioning the term, "Bollywood ki thali" in her post, Kangana took a dig at veteran actor and parliamentarian Jaya Bachchan. Bachchan had come out in support of the industry after Bollywood drugs controversy, and indirectly attacked Kangana saying, "Jis thali me khate hain ussi me chhed karte hain (you bite the hand that feeds you)." Kangana had criticized the industry over drugs case.
Kangana is losing weight she had gained for 'Thalaivi'
Interestingly, Kangana had gained 20 kilograms for her part in Thalaivi, an upcoming biopic on former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa. Speaking about it, she had recently tweeted, "I had gained 20 kgs for Thalaivi, now that we are very close to completing it, need to go back to my earlier size, agility, metabolism and flexibility. Waking up early and going for a jog/walk."
A brief about 'Tejas' and 'Dhaakad'
Kangana had earlier informed fans that she would kick-start the shoot for Sarvesh Mewara-directed Tejas in December this year. Dhaakad, on the other hand, has been directed by Razneesh Ghai. The movie was announced last year through a power-packed teaser, where Kangana was seen donning a fierce avatar, and relentlessly firing a machine gun in the backdrop of a battle scene.
