Action films as a genre has always enjoyed a dedicated fan following. Hollywood, meanwhile, presented us with female action heroines for long, with Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron and Milla Jovovich, to name a few, taking on non-traditional, butt-kicking roles. With superhero franchises gaining more and more traction, the space for female actors taking center stage in action blockbusters has only grown.
In India, Bollywood filmmakers are slowly and steadily realising projects with action heroines. Thus, females will not be relegated to damsels in distress anymore but will rather act as the rescuing forces.
