Actress Sandeepa Dhar says she is inspired by the acting and dancing talent of Tiger Shroff.
The actress has learnt the fighting technique MMA from Tiger while shooting for "Heropanti".
"My introduction to MMA happened when I was shooting for Heropanti with Tiger Shroff. I used to see him performing these daredevil stunts through the course of the film and I learnt about his training routine," Sandeepa said in a statement.
Now that learning has come in handy for Sandeepa, who plays a police officer in "7 Hours To Go". For this, she is training in MMA and parkour.
"For '7 Hours to Go', I needed to look like someone who has gone through some action training physically. I felt it was important for me to learn a martial art form so that my body language is like a police official. So, I started learning MMA from a trainer who used to train Sushant Singh Rajput," Sandeepa said.

Radhika Apte applauds Aanand L. Rai
After watching "Tanu Weds Manu Returns", actress Radhika Apte, who is currently busy shooting for her Indo-British film "Bombairiya", is all praise for director Aanand L. Rai and scriptwriter Himanshu Sharma.
She felt the performances of all actors in the film were phenomenal, Radhika feels it cannot be ignored that a major share of the victory goes to the writer-director team.
"Kangana was fabulous. Actually, the entire cast delivered phenomenal performances. But you have to give it to Aanand L. Rai and Himanshu Sharma for their powerful vision. The film would not have been so huge without that," said Radhika.
She even met the director after watching the film and shared her feedback with him.
