Everyone unanimously admitted that Nandana Sen was quite bold owing to her bold nude scenes in ‘Rang Rasiya’. Now, there is another proof to this. The bold and the beautiful lady has performed the most dangerous stunt ever performed by a female actor in any part of the world.
Miss Sen shot this action sequence for a Tips film being directed by debutant Kuki Gulati opposite Viveik Oberoi. She revved - up a mobike and speeded from the rooftop of a 30-storey building right onto the top of an adjacent skyscraper.
Narrating the experience, Nandana says, “They said I don’t have to do it. They were willing to use a body double. But I’m glad I took the leap. It helped me to overcome my vertigo.
I knew how to ride a bicycle. So learning to ride a mo’bike was not that hard. But it wasn’t an easy thing to speed across from one 30-storey building to another. Our action director Alan Amin was fantastic. I flew across one building to another. It was liberating.”
Talking about her role and the transformation it required, she says, “It’s a very Matrix like look and role. I enjoyed the stunts immensely. And this role was a complete antithesis to what I play in Ketan Mehta’s Rang Rasiya. It was wonderful to take up such a challenge.
I play an all-action chick who is an undercover cop. I learn kick-boxing, tai-kwundo and I learnt to shoot guns for real. The five kgs I had gained for Rang Rasiya was quickly lost.”
Nandana Sen feels that the role has helped her evolve as a stronger woman. She says, “I’m quite clumsy in real life so I’m used to calamities. And my threshold for pain is quite high. Yes, the heavy mo’bike did fall on me and my shoulder got hurt. But I continued shooting.
I’m very much a girlie girl. But all this physical action really changed my body language and psychological approach to crowded places..
Even a pointing a gun at an adversary is such an aggressive job. The combat training really came out of my shell. Now I feel less vulnerable in crowds.”
