Not many actors would let the female lead perform all the action, says Amy Jackson

Amy Jackson, who plays the leading lady in Singh Is Bliing, has expressed gratitude at being able to essay an empowered woman in the film.

"It is a strong character which promotes women empowerment, so it was great for me to be a part of film. Hats off to Akshay Kumar for allowing me to do a lot of action. I don't think many actors would give a leading lady chance to perform all the action. I worked really hard for Singh Is Bliing. "

However, it is unfortunate that Bollywood actresses need to express 'gratitude' to their male counterparts to 'allow' them to perform action scenes.

Jackson underwent rigorous training for her action-packed role in Singh Is Bliing. On the possibility of being a part of out and out action film, Jackson said,

"I would love to do a Hindi film on the lines of Kill Bill. Before Singh Is Bliing I was apprehensive about how audiences would accept my character because an action star like Akshay was not performing any stunts. Now that I know people have accepted me in an action role, I would love to be a part of an out and out action film."

The year 2015 has been great for the actresses who was last seen impressing audiences with her performance in Shankar's dream project I starring Vikram.

"2015 has been a game changing year for me. I tasted success with Shankar's I and Prabhu Dheva's Singh Is Bliing. I have a good mix of Bollywood and South Films in the next one year and I am blessed to be a part of so many films."
