The actress is all set to do high-octane combat stunts in an Indo-American production.
2012 was a year
of big releases for Esha Gupta with Jannat 2, Raaz 3 and Chakravyuh.
Buzz is that the actress has been approached to play the Indian version
of Lara Croft.
Recently we
heard that the actor is set to play the lead role in the desi version of
Laracroft: Tomb Raider (2001). Esha has often been referred to as the
Indian Angelina Jolie, as she resembles her. Now, this resemblance has
got her a huge project and she has been signed for an International
co-production (Indo-American).
Esha was
approached for the role as she’s tall and has a very athletic physique.
Obviously, her looks are an advantage, as those who’ve seen the original
will be able to connect with the film better. This is a huge project
for her, considering there will be a Hollywood studio backing it along
with Indian producers.
After dabbling
in three different genres — right from horror to hard-hitting realistic
film, the actress says she is now looking forward to working in action
films.
“Women look
really sexy doing action onscreen and it is my favorite genre. I have
grown up watching these films. So, action is definitely something I want
to explore,” says Esha.
However, more
than the gun-trotting action, it is the raw hand-to-hand combats that
she would love to try. “I really like the Akshay Kumar and Jackie Chan
sort of action where the emphasis is more on raw combat than hi-tech
wired stunts. I wouldn’t mind doing that either,” shares the hottie. She
says, there’s a strong buzz that action plays a huge part in one of her
upcoming films.
As for her
women-action role models, she reveals that all James Bond heroines and
Hollywood star Charlize Theron have been huge inspirations. “Martial
arts should be part of every girl’s education. And I am sure seeing
Bollywood actresses do that onscreen will be inspiring and encouraging,”
she adds.
