Taapsee Pannu and Kapil Verma

Taapsee Pannu plays a self-defence instructor in Kapil Verma's untitled short film. As the actor is professionally trained in mixed martial arts, the makers felt she was apt for the role. Pannu shot for the film last week.

She flaunted some mean moves in Shivam Nair's Naam Shabana earlier this year. In the short too, packing a punch will not be a tall order for her.
