Taapsee Pannu to play self defence instructor in short movie

After doing some promising action sequences in films such as "Baby" and "Naam Shabana", Taapsee Panuu is set to star as a self defence instructor in a short film.

The film, directed and produced by Kapil Verma, features the "Pink" star in the lead role alongside Vicky Arora.

Taapsee trained for a week for the action sequence in the film, which was shot over four days in Mumbai and concluded just last week.

"I was sold the first time I heard the script and had no doubts about the fact that I will do it regardless of who or what names will be a part of it," Taapsee said in a statement.

The project is said to be a deeply emotional family drama with the story revolving around the relationship between two siblings.
