Actress Parineeti Chopra reminisced about her preparation for her role in a video she uploaded ahead of the release of her movie Code Name: Tiranga. For her role as a RAW agent, Parineeti engaged in a variety of physical activities, including lifting weights, combat training, and outdoor running.
Many social media users have been motivated by Parineeti’s ‘lockdown training’. A social media user responded to the video posted by Parineeti by saying, “Hard work will pay off.” Another reader commented “Quite inspiring. Good going Parineeti.”
Parineeti has essentially studied the Israeli martial art discipline of Krav Maga in preparation for her role.
Speaking about the same, Parineeti said, “One of the key action techniques of an agent is hand-to-hand combat, so I learnt Krav Maga a form of martial arts for a total of 3 months to get my action sequences right. It is a very physically and mentally demanding form of martial arts as it’s not only just movements, but it also needs a lot of mental awareness of the surroundings one is in which is what exactly an agent needs to do on a mission.”
“Most of my fight sequences were against men who were a lot taller than me like the stunt men and co-actor Sharad Kelkar and sometimes the fight sequences would require them to fight with their full body weight,” she added.
Code Name: Tiranga is a story of a spy on an unfaltering and fearless mission for her nation in a race against time where sacrifice is her only choice.
