Super model Tora Khasgir has done her own stunts in the film Victoria No. 203, in which she plays a burglar in a catwoman like get up. Says Anant Mahadevan, the director of the film, It was amazing co-incidence that we found Tora for the role. Tora happens to be a good friend of Kamal Sadanah. For this film we wanted a woman who would do stunts herself. Tora apparently, is very well trained in doing action scenes, thanks to the training she got from her husband who is a fight choreographer based in Australia. Talking about one of the action sequences, Mahadevan says that There was rope tied just to Toras waist and she was standing on a very high tower. It was just amazing the way she did those stunts.
In the original film, the burglar is a male character then why a female doing that sequence in the remake? Informs Mahadevan, Though we are remaking the film, we wanted to give it a new feel. Having a female thief was an interesting idea because in India, we dont see female actors doing much of action sequences. Besides, the look of Toras character adds to the glamour element as well. Apart from doing stunts, not many might know this but Tora is also a good actress. Earlier, she was seen in Rajiv Rais Asambhav.
Victoria No.203 stars Om Puri, Anupam Kher, Jimmy Shergill and Amrita Arora. The film will be completed by April next year and will release in the month of June 2007.
Ask Ananth about the other projects that he is directing and he is quick to reply, Anamika starring Koena Mitra is 50% complete and Anu Malik has given amazing music for the film. Agar, the second episode in the Aksar trilogy will follow. It stars Tusshar Kapoor and Shreyas Talpade. Then there is also a film with Gordhan Tanwani. Well Ananth surely has his hands full for another year.
