We have all witnessed Hindi film heroes single-handedly beating a dozen goons to pulp, on screen. For an industry that thrives on big-budget actioners, Bollywood is surprisingly starved of female action heroes. That, Ali Abbas Zafar informs, was the starting point for his yet-untitled superhero film with Katrina Kaif.

"Personally, I feel it-s high time we made a larger-than-life action film with women in this country. This story has stayed with me for a long time," says the filmmaker, who has displayed his expertise in the genre with Gunday 2014, Sultan 2016 and Tiger Zinda Hai 2017.
