The actor, who made her debut with the Issaq (2013) alongside actor Prateik Babbar, says that she is having a blast shooting for the film. “It is crazy. I am learning so many things here. Action has become so easy for me now. Also, shooting for the film is a great workout and I have become an expert in hand-to-hand combat. It’s all because of my director Stanley Tong,” she says.

Amyra says that performing action scenes initially was challenging. “I was nervous at first. In one of my scenes, I had cables, but they were not there to lift me and I had to do most of the work. I got a few bumps and bruises, which I continue to get even now, but I look at them as victory marks,” she says.
