Anushka Sharma would love to be part of 'an all-female cast'

MUMBAI: Anushka Sharma feels it will be interesting if films on the lines of " Charlie's Angels" with actresses doing action sequences are made in Bollywood.

The "NH 10" star, who plays the role of a wrestler in her upcoming film " Sultan" said to have an all female cast in an action project would be interesting.

"Wrestling is not an action it is a sport. I hope it happens (more action films are offered to heroines). I think it will be cool to have a film like 'Charlie's Angels' or ' Ghostbusters' with all female cast. It will be fun and interesting," Anushka said in an interview here.

The 28-year-old actress said she was initially not sure if she could pull off the character of a wrestler.

"We have a certain perception about the way wrestlers look. I had not seen much of wrestling. I thought I was working with a disadvantage. I am playing a female wrestler and there is novelty in that," she said.

"I researched and found out that there are different weight categories. I saw some international wrestlers who were tall and toned like me, so I was relieved," she added.

For her role of a wrestler from Haryana, Anushka had to undergo professional training in the sport and learn local language.

"While I was training, I was finding it little awkward as while wrestling your head is under someone's armpit or around waist. I was like how can I do it. I was a bit hesitant. When I saw myself, I realized I was not doing it properly.

"I think if you want to do something then you should go all out completely and be fearless," she said.
