In a new interview with a digital media outlet, Isha Koppikar expressed her disappointment in not being approached by the makers for the ‘Don’ sequel. Being trained in Taekwondo, the actor also believed that she could have better pulled off more action-oriented sequences like Priyanka Chopra’s character Roma Bhagat.
“I feel Priyanka’s role was more powerful than mine. I would have given my left and right arm for it,” she told the host.
Koppikar continued to share, “I am a black belt in Taekwondo. I have been learning Taekwondo for 25 years now so I know I am fantastic at action and I can give any heroine a run for their money as far as action is concerned, even if they are half my age.”
“I know I am good at it but what’s done is done,” she maintained.
Speaking about the sequel, Koppikar disclosed, “I did reach out. I was told they have already cast for it.”
