For
the
first
time,
Amy
Jackson
will
be
seen
in
an
action
packed
avatar
in
the
upcoming
Akshay
Kumar
starrer,
Singh
is
Bling.
The
actress
was
determined
to
be
the
perfect
match
for
Khiladi
King
who
is
known
for
his
mind-boggling
stunts.
So
for
months,
Amy
has
been
working
out
religiously,
morning
and
night,
with
Black
Belt
MMA
fighter
Aniket
who
won
a
world
title
for
India
a
few
years
ago.
"We
started
with
the
basics
of
kicking,
lunging
and
blocking
and
gradually
worked
our
way
up
to
more
advanced
moves.
Then
a
few
days
prior
to
the
shoot,
Anaal,
the
action
choreographer,
and
his
assistants
would
work
on
the
exact
moves
so
we
could
perfect
them," explains
Amy
who
has
so
far
only
been
seen
in
'girly'
roles.
She
admits
that
Akshay
Kumar,
whose
fight
sequences
she
has
been
watching,
was
a
huge
inspiration.
"He
is
definitely
Bollywood's
Action
Man," Amy
asserts.
"He's
my
favourite
action
hero.
My
favourite
action
heroine
is
Angelina
Jolie
who
has
everything
going
for
her."
On
the
first
day
of
shoot
of
an
action
sequence
in
Singh
Is
Bling,
Amy's
hero
gave
her
a
few
pointers.
One
that
really
stood
out
was
to
do
with
her
stance
and
body
language
because
that
sets
the
tone
for
the
fight.
"He
told
me
to
not
restrict
myself
and
stay
strong
because
it's
all
about
aura,"
she
informs.
The
actress
also
points
to
a
fight
sequence
they
shot
recently
in
which
she
takes
on
a
bunch
of
baddies.
"A
big
part
of
the
sequence
was
taken
in
one
shot
with
a
steady
cam.
There
were
all
kinds
of
moves,
from
spinning
kicks
to
double
kicks.
It
was
quite
a
task
and
tiring
too
but
I
pulled
it
off,"
she
exults.
Now
they
are
all
set
to
shoot
a
horse
riding
sequence
next
month.
Does
it
give
her
the
jitters?
"Definitely
not,
I've
been
riding
since
I
was
a
child
and
I'm
really
excited,"
she
beams.
