Karna
will
be
shot
in
Hong
Kong

have
lots
of
special
effects.
The
international
production
has
also
tied
up
with
the

based
special
effects
company
GLIM
for
the
same.
GLIM
has
earlier

Karna
has
martial
arts
and
requires
high
levels
of
fitness.
Koena
has
been
training
hard
for
her
role
in
the
film.
She
has
already
trained
in

The
film
will
be
ready
for
release

is
under
a
non-disclosure
contract
and
has
been
working
on
her
training
in
tai
chi
as
well
as
other
fitness
routines.
She
was
selected
because
of
the
combination
of
her
'Indian
face
and
international
body'.
