Parineeti Chopra swooned everyone with her first-ever action look in Code Name: Tiranga. For the first time, she is doing an action film and has geared up a fierce look. Code Name: Tiranga will display Pari as a RAW agent who is on a mission for the nation’s pride. The 33 years old actress is excited about her first full-blown action film and reveals how she trained herself to get into the character.
For her role as an elite agent in Tiranga, she underwent three months of training in martial arts. She learned the Israeli martial art form, Krav Maga, to perfect her role. Developed for the Israel Defense Forces, Krav Maga is derived from a combination of techniques used in aikido, judo, karate, boxing, and wrestling.
Parineeti said, “One of the key action techniques of an agent is hand-to-hand combat, so I learnt Krav Maga a form of martial arts for a total of 3 months to get my action sequences right. It is a very physically and mentally demanding form of martial arts as it’s not only just movements but it also needs a lot of mental awareness of the surroundings one is in which is what exactly an agent needs to do on a mission.”
Hasee Toh Phasee actress further added, “Most of my fight sequences were against men who were a lot taller than me like the stunt men and co-actor Sharad Kelkar and sometimes the fight sequences would require them to fight with their full body weight.”
Parineeti continued, “At the end of most days I had injured and bruises all over my body, and the next day the most amount of makeup would be needed not on my face but rather to cover up my injuries. I’m extremely happy with the way people are liking my action shots in the trailer and it is a big thing for someone like me who has never done action as a genre before.”
Code Name: Tiranga is helmed by Ribhu Dasgupta and produced by Bhushan Kumar, Reliance Entertainment, Film Hangar, and Vivek B. Agrawal. The actioner is presented by Gulshan Kumar, T-Series Film, and Reliance Entertainment. The film is scheduled to arrive in theaters on 14th October 2022.
