With the upcoming Remo D’Souza directorial Race 3, the stunning Jacqueline Fernandez pushes the envelope further as far as action is concerned. She is dropping jaws with her powerful and intense action moves and she has done it all on her own. Apparently, the actress who stars alongside Salman Khan refused to use the services of stunt doubles and insisted on doing her stunts all on her own. Considering this multi-cast thriller includes some seriously intense action, it was a challenging task but Jackie girl proved herself more than capable of the task.
Incidentally, despite working in action films earlier, this is for the first time that Jacqueline has gone flat out to shoot the action sequences in Race 3. Naturally, her prep included rigorous training and extensive workouts.

She trained in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), kickboxing, and other forms of action in order to deliver her most convincing best onscreen. Her intensive regimen covered months of training, as she prepared for two hours daily to ace her action moves. The film will showcase her in hand-to-hand combat scenes for the first time.
Earlier her fitness trainer Kuldeep Sashi had shared, “Jacqueline is someone who has an athletic body type, so she does not require any special regime to tone up herself. However, as a requirement to her character, she is undergoing extensive MMA training, focusing towards kicking and punching.”

He had revealed, “The action sequences that Jacqueline has to perform are very demanding. They require the application of the right techniques. As she has never performed hand-to-hand combat or martial arts before, getting the style and techniques right is our only focus.” Her new training also needed a change in her diet. Apparently, there were many additions to Jacqueline’s food plan. She had to consume more calories owing to the extensive action sequences she had to deliver onscreen. Can’t wait to see her in action!
