"In life, nothing goes as expected," says Indian actress Wamiqa Gabbi in a Zoom interview with City Times. She pauses before explaining, "In my case, everything just went better."
She is talking about her latest project, Baby John, where she plays a tough-as-nails character called Tara, who is doing quite a lot of stunts on screen. "I think I started prepping for the role before I knew that I'd be doing a film like this. When I started my fitness journey, that's when I got the film," she says.
It all worked out - although the cast had set aside an eight-to-ten hour slot for her sequences, she managed to shoot the scenes in two hours. "They were very, very surprised and very happy, because I saved a lot of their time. I was kind of proud of myself that I could do that," says the former child star.
In the movie, an ex cop (played by Varun Dhawan) who is living the life of a civilian stumbles across a sex-trafficking gang along with his daughter and her teacher (Tara). When his daughter's life is in danger, he returns to his former (more viscious self).
