Actress Shriya Saran has come into the limelight as the woman who punched the Kannada actor Prem, not once or twice, but several times!

While some might believe that she was retorting to her controversial photo shoot, these punches were only for the action sequences of her upcoming film,  ‘Chandra’ produced and directed by Roopa  Iyer.

The beautiful actress who has been regarded as an excellent dancer, wanted to excel in the action sequences as well. She intensively trained herself in ‘Kalari’ fighting under the guidance of Sagar Aasan, for a period of two months. Telugu cinematographer Ravi Varma, along with director Roopa Iyer, created a sequence combining 2 different art forms and choreographed the martial art with a dance form.

Since, the director has been a practitioner of this combination herself, she was thrilled at the idea and immediately decided to execute the sequence with ace actress Saran.
