Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandes who will next be seen in action film 'Brothers' is keen to work in an action drama. “I felt so left out. I was sitting at home and all these guys were doing action. I am a sports buff and I have athletic personality. I have been dying to do action (film) for a long time. Hopefully, I will be able to do one soon,” Jacqueline said.
The Sri Lankan beauty considers it empowering for women to do action roles on screen. She said, “Action is my favourite thing to do in cinema and I think it is so empowering when you see a women doing it, as very rarely you get to see it. We have such great and strong women in the industry who can pull off as action heroines. With good script and character, I would like to tap into that.”
Talking about her role in 'Brothers', Jacqueline said the audience would be able to relate with her character Jenny as she is stuck in an emotional dilemma. “The film is about two brothers but unless you know their history you won't be able to feel for their motive behind what they are doing. For me, Jenny and Jackie Shroff's character get an insight into their lives.”
“It is a very challenging character. In the film, I am in a big dilemma as my daughter is dying and we as a family can't afford to pay for her treatment. We are afraid of losing her and I am afraid of losing my husband.”
