Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu executed action blocks with Raj and DK in ‘The Family Man’ season 2. She now returns for a lead role in the spy thriller ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’ alongside Varun Dhawan. Samantha tells Mid-day that she’s added martial arts to her daily routine since she never has time to prepare for such roles.
Samantha has put martial arts into her daily routine
Samantha Ruth Prabhu who collaborates with Raj & DK once again for an actioner explained, “I think I`ve now put in martial arts and a little bit of action into my daily routine. I`m not waiting for them to give me specific training just for the action. I`ve just put it into my routine now because I need to be prepared. You never know when they`ll call. They are going to do and I don`t I never have enough time to prepare for the kind of action that they are looking at.”
She added, “Things get changed on set. They really like these long shots, right, where they refuse to call ‘cut’. And so you have to end up doing all of the stunts convincingly, but it`s an exciting challenge. I mean, it`s not often that a female actor gets to also engage in some badassery.”
When asked how many hours of training, she asserted, “I have absolutely no social life.”
