Actress
Jacqueline
Fernandez,
who
is
gearing
up
to
promote
her
first
solo
big
project
Kick,
says
she
had
to
gain
weight
to
look
convincing
in
her
role.
The
28-year-old
Sri
Lankan
beauty
has
to
look
like
a
college
girl
in
the
film
and
she
said,
"During
Race
2,
I
had
to
lean
down
completely
because
there
was
a
lot
of
action
scenes
in
it.
For
this
film,
I
was
asked
to
gain
weight
as
I
am
playing
a
college
girl."
"I
could
not
afford
to
have
the
perfect
zero
size
body.
I
was
51
and
now
I
am
56
for
Kick
and
I
am
very
happy
with
my
body," she
added.
Post
medium
budget
psychological
thriller
Murder
2,
this
is
Jacqueline's
first
big
film
in
terms
of
budget
and
cast.
She
is
paired
with
none
other
than
Salman
Khan
in
the
movie
coming
out
July
25.
Her
last
releases
Race
2
and
Housefull
2
were
multi-starrers.
When
asked
if
this
brings
any
pressure
on
her,
Jacqueline
said,
"There
was
a
lot
of
pressure,
but
my
main
concern
was
not
to
disappoint
Sajid
Nadiadwala.
He
must
have
seen
something
in
me
that
he
offered
me
the
film.
When
he
showed
confidence
in
me,
I
didn't
want
to
disappoint
him."
Kick
is
important
for
producer
Nadiadwala
too
as
he
embarks
on
a
new
journey
with
the
action
drama
-
it
marks
his
debut
as
a
director.
Jacqueline
praises
Salman's
"helping
nature".
"He
is
not
the
kind
of
a
person
who
will
leave
you
mid
way.
It's
a
pleasure
to
work
with
him," Jacuqline
added.
