Akshay Kumar plays a tough task master for Taapsee Pannu
Taapsee Pannu was under rigorous training by Akshay Kumar and his men for ‘Naam Shabana’, and the celebrity star left no stone unturned in playing a tough task master for the Bollywood actress
Taapsee Pannu promises an action-packed film with ‘Naam Shabana’, but all her kicks and punches are a result of many hours in the gym. “For my training, people were signed and deployed especially by Akshay Kumar, those who work under him. There were two guys, and Akshay was pretty much the boss there. So I can easily say that I am trained by the best in all possible ways for ‘Naam Shabana’. Akshay was in touch with me since ‘Baby’ (2015). He used to get my daily report card because the people were appointed through him. He would be aware on the kind of kicks, punches and flips that I used to learn,” informs Taapsee. Despite the pressure to workout so rigorously, Taapsee Pannu got one piece of sound advice from Akki. “His advice to me was to make sure that I was safe at all times and not land in a situation where I wouldn’t be able to do anything again,” adds Taapsee Pannu. ‘Naam Shabana’ is a prequel to ‘Baby’ and is scheduled to release on March 31. The film stars celebs and cinema world’s who’s who, namely, Akshay Kumar, Taapsee Pannu, Anupam Kher, Manoj Bajpayee, Elli Avram and Danny Denzongpa.
