Taapsee Pannu has stunned everyone with her fight sequences in Baby. Contrary to her off-screen demeanor, the actress is back with some amazing action-packed sequences in her upcoming revenge-thriller which is also a prequel to Baby, Naam Shabana.
Slightly muscular, strong and intense; the actress looks fierce as ever. But she had to struggle quite a bit to get that stance right. Here’s what went into Taapsee’s journey to becoming Shabana on-screen. We are sure it’s going to make you hit the gym right now!
