The actress, however, doesn't feature in the film's poster, nor has she taken part in its promotion. `Not many know this, but I have a full-fledged role in the film, where I play Kriti Sanon's sister. My character is a strong-headed girl, who adds a twist to the tale. But the makers are not keen to reveal much about my track,` says Dhar.
The actress adds that she had a ball while working on the film and is now in awe of lead actor, Tiger Shroff. `In one of my scenes, I get to perform a stunt with Tiger.

As part of my preparation for this scene, I learnt parkour, which borrows from military obstacle course training, from Tiger. I was also offered a commercial recently, thanks to my newly acquired skills,` Dhar says.

For Kangana, 'Revolver Rani' already a success

Kangana Ranaut's new film "Revolver Rani" is yet to release, but for the actress, it is already a success. She says the film is even better than the script envisaged. 

"We have made a better film than what we had initially intended to. I already believe it is a success. How people perceive box office numbers is a different thing, but for me it is already a success," the 27-year-old said here Wednesday at a special screening of the film. 

"We have made an incredible film as a team and I congratulate the filmmakers for going beyond the script from where we started," she added. 

The film releases Friday. Kangana says "Revolver Rani" is not a woman-oriented film but a high-concept film which is a genre-breaker of sorts. 

"We are getting a good response. It is not a woman-oriented film, it is a high-concept film. 'Revolver Rani' is a genre-breaker, you will not find any reference for this film, there has never been such a film in Bollywood which has been narrated in a cheap literature style. It is a new experience, please enjoy it," Kangana said. 

Directed by Sai Kabir, "Revolver Rani" also stars Vir Das.
