Actress Kangana Ranaut is gearing up to present the audience with a brand new avatar of herself in the upcoming action thriller 'Dhaakad'. Along with rest of the cast, Kangana is busy promoting the film these days. Duirng one such promotional event, she talked about the challenges that she faced while working on the project.

According to a recent report in ETimes, Kangana said, "He (director Razneesh Ghai) was most apprehensive about my weight gain due to 'Thalaivii' and always asked me, 'You will lose this weight right? you will lose? and I used to respond, 'Yes I will. Even I used to think whether I will be able to be in shape again for this role after looking at his face."

The actress added, "I wanted to use fake guns for this movie as I got hurt while shooting for 'Manikarnika' but my director was keen that I should use real weapons. As far as my training is concerned, since childhood I have been learning from my action master Surya Narayan ji, from whom I am learning from the age of 16 or 17, but never got such a role except a few like 'Krish' or 'Manikarnika'. Moreover, for the movie, a crew came from Hollywood and also from Korea for the training. So, it's a team effort and no single person can be given the credit."

Talking about one unique feat of that team 'Dhaakad' pulled off, Kangana revealed, "This movie has the longest fight sequence in Hindi cinema, approximately 14 minutes."

'Dhaakad' is set to release theatrically on 20th of May.
