Jiah wants to do action roles

There is definitely something tomboyish about Bollywood’s feisty newcomer Jiah Khan.

After her evocative role in Ram Gopal Varma’s movie Nishabd, Jiah Khan is now learnt to have signed another project that will have her doing action and stunts.

Jiah will learn Tai Chi Chuan and motorbike riding for her role in the film, which, reports say, is not under Varma’s film production company.

Jiah rues the lack of proper action-oriented roles for actresses in Bollywood. She cites the examples of some of her favourite movies like Charlie’s Angels and Kill Bill where women made convincing protagonists in action roles.

For a month, Jiah will learn Tai Chi and bike riding under an expert in London for her upcoming movie.

Even when she was young, Jiah says she was more of a geek than a sexy girl. She used to wear men’s shirts and cargo pants.
