Actresses brandishing guns for success

Actresses brandishing guns for success. Actresses weilding guns are becoming a norm now a days. Samantha did it earlier for Citadel and Kajal did the same for Satyabhama. Now Priyanka Chopra doing the same for her film SSMB29.

MS.Raju says “Gun-wielding divas are the latest fad in T-town,” and adds “Actresses today are capable of doing all kinds of roles. They are showcasing their new skill sets—wielding guns to prove their versatility and to try out fresh avatars.”

Mrunal Thakur is doing the same in Dacoit. He says “Image makeover is key for Actresses to shed their glam image and showcase a new side. It appears that Actresses have decided to take up arms and settle scores on their own, rather than waiting for the hero to rescue them. They are becoming game changers.”

Earlier Samyuktha Menon (Devil), Anupama Parameswaran (Tillu Square), and Faria Abdullah (Mathu Vadalara 2) did the same. Abhishek Nama adds “Younger Actresses have quickly realised how to break monotony in roles. They are capable of doing all kinds of characters. These days, they are showcasing new skills—wielding guns with style to depict versatility and opting for roles with substance.”

Director Hemanth Madhukar adds “They take up anger-driven roles to connect with the masses, since girls in action mode enhance their brand equity. Posters and first-look images grab more eyeballs and fetch them a new audience and a new image.”

Priyamani who weilded guns in Virataparvam and Jawan, says “It all depends on the script and the character we portray. It could be a police officer or a commando, and when the role demands that we handle guns with ease, we are game for it.”

She shares “Of course, we underwent rigorous training to fit into the commando role in Jawan. An expert team from South Africa trained us hard. We had to learn how to hold a gun with style, correct our posture, and move quickly with weaponry. Bollywood stunt master Sunil Rodrigues also guided us during action sequences, and it all came out well on the big screen.”
