If
Anil
Kapoor
is
shooting
for
high-voltage
action
sequences
in
Tezz,
then
daughter
Sonam
Kapoor
is
not
far
behind.
Her
own
action
film
Players
(remake
of
The
Italian
Job),
directed
by
the
director
duo
Abbas-Mastan,
is
an
action
thriller
with
some
hi-voltage
action
scenes
designed
by
action
director
Allan
Amin.
It's
not
just
the
guys
Abhishek
Bachchan,
Bobby
Deol
and
Nitin
Neil
Mukesh,
who
will
be
performing
stunts.
Leading
ladies
Sonam
and
Bipasha
Basu
will
get
equal
opportunity.
Yesterday,
Sonam
shot
a
song
for
the
film,
but
in
the
coming
weeks,
she's
expected
to
shoot
for
some
action
sequences
in
speeding
boats
and
cars.
This
is
the
first
time
that
the
Kapoor
lass
is
doing
an
action
film.
So,
she's
been
rigorously
training
for
her
part.
She
has
been
training
in
pilates
from
Yasmin
Karachiwala
for
the
last
few
months.
The
trainer
even
accompanied
her
to
Goa
for
their
daily
one
hour
regimen.
Says
an
insider,
"Sonam
knows
that
her
co-star
Bipasha
is
known
for
her
athletic
body
and
she
doesn't
want
to
fall
behind
while
showing
off
hers
or
performing
stunts." Kapoor
admits,
"I
am
in
Goa
shooting
for
Players.
I
have
been
training
in
pilates
for
some
time
and
doing
it
because
I
love
it."
Abbas
Burmawala
says,
"Players
is
an
action
thriller
and
the
girls,
Bipasha
and
Sonam,
will
be
doing
lots
of
stunning
car
chases
and
other
action
sequences."
