Priyanka Chopra is taking martial arts training for her role in Farhan Akhtar’s Don .
Priyanka’s role as Roma in the film will be radically different from the one Zeenat Aman played in the original Don (1978) , starring Amitabh Bachchan in the lead.
While Zeenat’s Roma was more scheming and less physically violent, Priyanka will enact Roma as a woman who fights the baddies.
As the film will have Priyanka doing her own stunts, she is going through a rigorous martial arts training, which seems to have taken its toll on Priyanka who claims she has never worked out in life before preparing for this role.
"Yes, I am doing a lot of stunts and I am doing them on my own. In fact, I have started rigorous coaching in martial arts with a guy called Kanisk...And boy, it is tough!" Priyanka is quoted in an IANS report.
‘Don’ stars Shah Rukh Khan in the double roles as a village bumpkin who impersonates as an underworld don because of the physical resemblance between the two.
